My e-life, what happened to it?

To say that I've taken a hiatus from writing this web-log otherwise know as a "blog" would be an understatement. Why haven't you written in over a year? ..you ask, first I shall finger the supermassivebottomlessblackhole known as facebook to which I have a sort of love/hate relationship. Yes, I, like everyone, enjoy "creeping," that is.. looking at all of your photo albums and such. But who can resist with all you beautiful picture-taking people. In the end however, I never really feel that satisfied with the amount of "actual communication" that my time scrolling and clicking produces.

Most of all though, I suppose the longer I lived here in Japan, the more I got tired of writing about my life. As time has rolled along over the past year and a half, things that I would previously consider out of the ordinary have somehow become mundane and commonplace. Recently however, I've started to consider a grander perspective of the speed in which life is going. Am I the only one noticing that life is speeding up as I age? For that reason, this will continue to serve as a personal journal I suppose, as well as a forum for me to make some sense of what I actually going on in my life. If anyone actually reads this, good luck and please remember that my grasp on the English language seems to be slipping away as I spend more and more time speaking Japanese, if you can actually call it that. Onward...
