I love my blog!

Is the blog sphere shrinking in size? I don't know, but blogs feel like iPods nowadays. You won't be impressing anyone if you own one, since every retard with too much pocket money has one. Facebook seems to have completely replaced the original purpose of our very much loved web logs. The miniature feeds feature conveniently informs you of Jerome's doings (in less than 50 words) for the past few days, and "subscribing" to a blog equates to sending a friend request.

What will trigger the blog shoah, I believe, is Facebook notes. Hidden somewhere within this seemingly innocent feature, is an option to import "notes" from your blog. Blog posts reduced to notes! Murder! Genocide! Facebook has managed to swallow the entire blog sphere with one feature. If users find that feature (and they will, since I did and mind you - I'm not a Facebook freak), it's easy to predict what will happen to the blog sphere.

So social networking is the big thing now, eh? Well, screw that, I love my blog (even if I did have facebook parse my blog's RSS feeds - which means that my content is currently being mirrored on facebook). I'm not going to add stupid updates on facebook about what I'm up to - they'll be mirrored as notes, when facebook decides to re-parse my RSS.

So yes people, about the updates: I'm moving over to the UK. Having this blog (it was originally meant to inform the visitors of beach-bum happenings in Flic-en-Flac) is utterly pointless, but I'll keep it. Talk about detachment.

I'll be the exact same person, I'll be eating the same stuff (I'm a vegetarian now, did I mention that?) and will probably keep compaining about my short-lived pseudo-romantic fuck-ups. Oh, well... I'll put up another post as soon as I'm in the UK!

Hey Dick!

You should write more often man. Can't wait to arrive in Mauritius and have a blast. Need to make loads more money no so I can call you (from Bangkok perhaps) in the UK and say "Hey Dick want to meet in that nice London pub we went to the other day...you free on Friday?" and pack-up, hop on a plane and come down and get drunk out of our brains, watch a manga and not understand shit about it, listen to some Third Eye Blind, eat some nice vege-meat your mum cooks...

Man I miss you...see you soon

(no we are not gay)
