i could get used to this

as far as my relationship with the blogosphere goes,i'm behind. it's like it's 1996 and i'm sitting in front of my parent's "cutting edge" pc,crossing my fingers and praying to the dial-up gods that the connection will go through.

what did people even do on the internet in 1996? i distinctly recall this one moment when i was 10ish,and i saw a mentos commercial on tv--at the bottom of the screen it listed www.mentos.com [the freshmaker!]. this was novel at the time. and there i was,sitting on this awful green corduroy couch in my parent's basement thinking:why would anyone give a shit about the mentos website? what does it say?

'we sell mints'
'we don't spend enough money on advertising,as you can tell by these d-list spokespeople'
or,again,'we sell mints'

anyways,here i am at my new job discovering amazing blogs that much cooler people discovered decades ago. i want to run through the streets and praise them! only,it would sound a bit like:

"holy shit,have you ever heard of a tamagotchi? crazy shit. it's a toy,but it's like this crazy little digital child that you have to take care of. and if you neglect it,it will actually die. so crazy! i need to be part of this."

oh god,i don't even know how to insert a fucking link yet..
