Connectivity

We live in a world of connectedness. Cell phones connect people thousands of miles away, the internet connects businesses to consumers, and basically everything is “just a mouse click away.” All these wires and signals enable us humans to do things that we’ve never done before. In fact, they let us live in our fantasy as reality. They blur the line between fantasy and reality.

But is it good to have that line blurred? Is a boy who sits in class and dreams of the exotic land of Japan that he saw on the internet any better off? If he cannot go, the answer might be no. But, in fact, sometimes the connectedness helps us to expand our horizons.

Realizing that the world is too large to fathom is a prerequisite to using technology to our advantage. Just like any drug, connectivity can corrupt if it is used to often. If we realize that the true glory of life is people then we will be all the happier.

I know that I have been living in a distant land for the last few days. It seems oh so real to me since I know it exists. I speak to those who are in this land. I wish that I myself could be a part of it. But for the time being I cannot.

Consider whether connectivity has helped or hurt your life. Let me know.

Strange Relief

It is odd how the things we hope for can leave us feeling better after we've had them. Let me explain this a little bit more. When we want something so badly, and are in anticipation of it's arrival, sometimes we get so strung up that we cannot be ourselves. When the thing comes and goes and is in the past, we can take a clearer look into our own state and our emotions.

Right now, a girl that i know is in a far away country. She came, and she left; and I don't feel as crappy as I thought I would. In fact, I feel strangely confident. Perhaps it is because we left as "just friend?" Perhaps it is because I have a new found freedom. Perhaps it is the fact that I know I will not see her for 2 years now. That is so long. Perhaps I have finally let myself let go.

My job seems easier these days. My social life seems more lively. My future seems more optimistic, now that this enigma from my past has left me alone. Strange, love is.

If my goals and dreams come true I just might be happy here on this mammoth island away from the island. I might learn to prefer it. Only time will tell. Until then, I will blog...and I'll probably blog after that too!

Whisked Away

Today, the girl of my dreams comes to me from a far off land. She comes bearing gifts and wild things of fantasy. With her for a week will I fly into eternity. Neverland beckons with the sound of a siren, telling me to leave my life behind. Perhaps I shall not return to this land of barren desolace. Perhaps I shall be forever entraped in a blissful existance. Perhaps the fairy dust and wither wind will wear out my will to return. Indeed, I hope so.

But I am not a lunatic, for I know I will return. And when I do, I will show you things that you have never before witnessed. And when that day comes you shall marvel at the glory of the wonderland. Then, we shall know each other. Then we shall truely be kin.

Again...issues

I just posted the coolest blog and did not save a draft. If it does not go through I will be purturbed. But here is the summary:

Be good today, so your tomorrows can be bright.
Remember the good things that you have.
I love you all.
