Tuesday, August 15, 2006 

Welcome. I learn stuff everyday. Sometimes even two things
a day. One time I learned three things, and I spent the remainder
of the day very very dizzy. It is here on this blog that I will do my best to
inform the world of these new things I'm learning.... of course, they
might not all be new to you the reader but please humor me and play
along anyway.


Today I learned that indenting a new paragraph is very old fashioned
and no one does it anymore.... so who decided this? And why didn't anyone tell me? I have been happily indenting for years and years, and all of a sudden I find out its not cool. Its like someone could have pulled me aside and very discreetly told me, in a manor one would tell another that their zipper is down, but no, the embarrassment is all mine I guess. I blame this evolving communication ettiquite on that pesky metric system, its truly messing everything up.

Hey Riley,

     Great blog.  One of the best I've seen.

     However, I dont really know what you mean.  Indenting paragraphs is still very cool.  Everyone I know still does it!

     Anyway, I look forward to more awesome things you learn throughout your crazy travels!

Your friend and mine,

PS. I had to use Bob's Myspace because I dont have one.  I'm still mostly using stone tablets for communication.

i find it to be quite the opposite, really...

only the REALLY cool people indent their paragraphs...
It's kind of up there on the list with correct grammar and climbing palm trees to get coconuts...only the REALLY cool people...you know what i mean?

I thought your blog was GREAT!! Keep them coming... In regards to the whole indenting a new paragraph thing... I know what you mean! I thought I was the only one that does it anymore, but glad to know there are others! We truly are the cool people! Take care, be safe, and God Bless!!!

Nobody can really expect an international recording artist (or someone from Canada) to really know these types of things.  It's probably best if you just embrace your "noncoolness."

It's okay.  Dorks and nerds are cool right now.

Love you!

I say indent away.  It's the proper thing to do...do it for all of us, will ya?

And just FYI, this is how you spell gnarly:  G-N-A-R-L-Y.  See, the "G" is silent.  Wasn't that helpful?  Now you've learned another thing.  Dont' get dizzy.

Riley,

     Apparently, it takes too long to indent a paragraph. I would think that those who take the time to smell the roses and watch cartoons are the only ones who indent any more. Sad.

Take it from one with a degree in that there writing... indention is still a good idea. And why not support good ideas? I have a great idea about farmers you should message me about.

Riley,

I'm glad I'm not the only one to indent anymore. I was at a dismay when I read your blog and found out no one indents paragraphs anymore. I agree with you that it's the metric system that has messed us all up. The Springfield Real Encounter Week was a blast.

: )

You also weren't ever supposed to start a sentence with 'because'.

Because times are changing however, it is now ok to start a sentence with the word 'because'... go figure?

That used to get me in trouble all the time.  Wait, I still get into trouble all the time.

: )

Hey,

you know, maybe its a crazy Canadian thing, but I just learned from reading your blog that I've been pretty uncool for awhile. Guess I can just add that to my list of things that makes me pretty uncool and try to move on *sigh* How ever shall I manage.  Oi vei.
