macro about everything

Hi ! as i came out of an closed environment ( in the army) i realised that i was frozen in the time zone of last century. Then i was proud i had three email IDs, now , in the present world i definitely feel outdated. no more are emails 'in'.....its "are you on orkut?" and whats your blog?Now a blog was an alien stuff for me....what will i write? who will read?will i match the standards of a few of my friends blog?and how do i open one? so having sucessfully covered one base i guess i will cover the others in time.
So heres to my first blog.......CHEERS
