since the advent of all the social networking sites, email to my inbox has dwindled considerably. it is gone the way of real mail, i'm afraid. we've become a nation of short attention spans and sound bites.
i used to spend mornings having coffee, cigarettes and answering letters by hand or typewriter. i'd also spend hours writing/typing my 'tagbuch'[ diary/journal]. then once computers came into play, i'd spend mornings answering emails, which i would save as diaries/journals. now, i've found myself spending whole days on facebook- trying to fit my thoughts into little space limited boxes- saving nothing- when i should be doing something productive; like maybe getting some real work done.
i have neglected my blog for too long, due to facebook. i havent sat down and written an actual letter in ages. so, today i begin. i'll see if my ribbon in my old manual typewriter has dried up- if not, i will write some friends. after all, there is nothing like getting a real letter!
