A paperless world

Starting this blog reminds me of an episode in The Office when Michael is a guest speaker in Ryan's business class. After he ruins a textbook, and chucks various candy bars at the audience, a student asks how a paper company thrives in this increasingly paperless world. How indeed.


I remember when I used to have a Lisa Frank diary. Yes, adorned with the ridiculously colorful unicorns and stickers included. It was my first attempt of clearing my thoughts in a way that wouldn't get me into trouble or in an argument with my brother...which would then get me into trouble. But of course, keeping up with good handwriting and being able to have something to write with just for mental therapy came to be a nuisance. Does anyone remember Xanga? Why do these online things have to be a different fad every few years?

That's one of the reasons I've always had an opposition to things like this. Of course I also hate seeing someone else's blog and read what they truly think of you or worse: seeing that they can't spell or use proper English worth shit. But that's okay because this blog account is clearly evidence of hypocrisy.

So why not have a blog? It's a digital, world-wide-web world. Typing is faster anyway.
