Wednesday 28th of october

Keeping up blogs and any online presence is not a chore. Real life can be however and keep you from creating fresh content. Today I got up early and after politely dodging a request to pick up a shift tonight (I already met my quota for doing favours at work) I got started on a new character for the player for my mac ninja game in Zbrush. Then I was distracted by a new twitter client for my desktop and followed links on how to make money online and.. you know they are kind of like buying lottery tickets: we know the odds are against it/us but we want to believe. Not that I need an extra job, my position at the Hard Rock has kept me pretty occupied. Its been so busy since I got back from Barcelona at the end of summer I've hardly had any time to do much on my mac but work on my videogame.. and this blog and other sites where I'd like to maintain a presence have fallen out of favour and lost in the battle for attention to Facebook.. I've always compared these social sites to emailing with pictures which I prefer because its prettier to look at.. but nowadays with questionnaires and casual games with leaderboards, iphone integration.. its almost like tv. There's nothing really on but something might pop up. Though, when something bad happens on facebook I still rely on actual newspapers to tell me... it is an online entertainment centre, streamlining the internet so it takes even less know-how than before (MySpace html coding anyone?). Only problem is its just not very creative. Like emailing before we still prefer to forward bad jokes and shock Youtube videos, superstitious chainmail letters that we got sent, over actually writing or making anything ourselves. Just want to be entertained and not be the entertainer and quite frankly I don't blame us, what's on telly anyway ? Its just that, when I have time, I do like to make stuff and write. So stay tuned and I'll forward you some home made links in the coming months.. and I'll try to stay away from internet marketing :P
