Scott Speaks

So as it turns out…I still have a blog. I thought they expired after a few months. Not so much disappear, but just not the same as it used to be. You know how a can of Coke can go bad after a few months, even if it’s still sealed, and it just doesn’t taste the same as a new can? That’s kinda what I thought would happen. Like the internet would be like: “Hey, this Scott Speaks…it’s ok. I mean it’s not fresh anymore, but it still has the caffeine.”

Well, it’s time to open a fresh can of Coke as it were. I know my crazy desire to have a strong online presence comes and goes (and comes and goes (and comes and goes (and comes and goes))), but  I’ve been feelin’ it lately. Plus this week, for whatever random reason, I think 4 people have asked about my blog. So I updated my Wordpress to version 2.7 finally, fixed my add-ons, set up a couple new feeds, including what is hopefully going to update twitter/facebook automatically when I post a new blog…all kinds of fun stuff. Long term, like in the next month, I’d really like to get a new theme happening. I changed the background color for now, just to set the mood (ladies), but I think I’m ready for a new design. I’ve been looking at making a new portfolio website as well, so I think they need to compliment each other.

First off, I just wanted to say that there are several ways to keep up with me, even when I haven’t written a post in 4 months:

• Twitter – I update my Twitter at least twice a day. It’s like the mini-version of Scott Speaks. Random thoughts, links I found, what I’m working on…everything’s game. I recommend Twitter if you’ve ever wanted to follow a lot of news online and dump your brain droppings to your heart’s content. This is the best way to stalk me and know my every thought and move.
• Facebook – My Facebook status is synched with Twitter, so that gets updated a lot. Also, I’m constantly commenting on things and I upload photos sometimes. If you don’t have a Facebook…well you should, dammit people! What is this, 2003?!? Just get one!
• IM – You can IM me whenever the hell you want. Granted I’m at work usually when I’m online and I can’t always chit chat, so don’t be offended if I ignore you. But I’m on a lot so send me a hello and an emoticon with the pukey face. (on AIM, I’m ScottyF420 or scott_fassett at mac dot com, on googletalk I’m scottyf311 at google dot com).

That aside, there’s going to be more blogging. There’s been several things lately that gave me an idea for a blog, but for whatever reason I just haven’t gotten to the computer. Plus, I mean…there was a point where I was like “well shit it’s been 2 months, why start again now? I mean if you were all up in some girl’s bidness for 10 days straight and then just stopped talking to her for 4 months and 3 days, can you randomly say hi again?”  The answer to that question is no…but I’m hoping for you, dear internet, it’s yes.
