I just typed the start of a sentence that read, “It’s amazing how quickly the furor over the new Facebook features died…,” but then I stopped and thought for a second. No, no it isn’t. As I wrote on Facebook Talk, today’s college aged group seems to be by far the most fickle when it comes to spending time on something worthwhile. I doubted the buzz over the new features would be longlasting, but I had I hoped that it would possible transform to some other medium for change or last a bit longer than it did. But no, people just bailed on the “movement” once the new features were not even deleted, but just curtailed. No worries, I’m still gonna keep the new site and run with it for a while. I still think it has potential, if nothing more than for the domain once I get a few daily readers and a decent PR. Actually, beyond the domain name, I’m happy about something else - I’ve found a default Wordpress theme that I both love AND is coded properly. I’ve been struggling to find some decent themes lately and that one is certainly a keeper - one that I might even want to take and use on a different site as well.

In other Goob news, I have an open letter to send out:

Dear Mom & Dad. If you could go back in time, buy this house, and then raise me in that, I’d be thrilled.

Much love,
Your Favorite Son

Seriously, imagine all the freaking fun you could have with a house like that, especially as a kid! When I was younger, my godparents lived in a large house in Chicago that was both huge and ancient. It had hidden doors galore and some of the earliest memories I have were running around looking for new rooms and passageways. There’s nothing like discovering something new in the walls or corners of a room you’ve been in a million times.

And finally, I’d like to request a favor of Mother Nature. Knock this “getting dark earlier” shit off. I’ve put up with it for 22 years and I’m putting my foot down this time around. I let you have your little natural disaters, killer snakes and sting rays, and even that fraking El Nino every now and then. All I ask in return is that you let the sun stay out until at least 8:00 at night or so. Thanks, I appreciate it.
