Being on Tumblr now, and following a few different people who have varied interests (mostly older music), I'm discovering that there are some on there who are genuine Internet pals, all supportive of each other with inside jokes and stuff. To some, this might seem strange, weird, creepy, whatever, but it makes me have serious Blog Days of Old pangs, when there were so many awesome people blogging about the Yankees. Like, you get to a point where you follow what someone has to say for a span of several years, and you go back and forth and comment on each others' stuff and you get some mighty good chuckles out of it... and then they all disappear. No, really, I'm the only one still blogging out of everyone I followed.
Wah.
And you know, that's okay. I mean, people have lives and blogs can be time consuming when a s***ton of other stuff is going on(sidebar: How in GOD'S NAME did I have time for over 100 posts a month back in like 2004? What??), or sometimes you just don't want to voice your thoughts into the void anymore, or sometimes you have other means of getting your opinions out there more succinctly (Twitter, Facebook), and a blog is just one medium too many.
I get it. Really.
But it doesn't mean I don't miss those folks sometimes.
