evolution of the online diary entry

ykno, sometimes i look back and glance over some of my entries from the past, and i have to say, man, whadda change.

it's still intelligible, just like most of my entries, but a lot has changed.

-i don't post as much anymore; paragraphs are shorter.
-i don't post as frequently, that is, not 3 posts or so a day of loads of text.
-topics have been narrowed; i don't post about everything and anything anymore either. in fact, these days, my posts read like a hybrid of espn.com, virtuafighter.com and antichristconspiracy.com, with smatterings of other stuff. not that other stuff doesn't happen in my life, but i prefer to do it that way.

i attribute a lot of these changes due to the fact that i've gotten over having free cable internet 24/7; during my freshman years(roughly 3 months into when i started the diary), i was like the israelis moving from the desert into the promised land; like amish gawking at the big city, i couldn't believe the stuff you could do on the internet. so my posts were all the time, etc. because i was always on the internet. dling emulators, etc.

now, i've learned that the big life isn't everything. i'm still NOT THERE, but you can still see a big change.

i still think a lot; don't get me wrong; that's just who i am. but these days, i like to jot down stuff other places. it's not that i'm afraid of what people are going to read my journal. it's just that it'd take too much time; i'd have to run all the way to the cpu lab, login, login to my journal, post, then do all the logging off. tedious.
