WHOA! NO WAY!! ITS NEW!!!!

So! Who would have guessed it eh!?! A new blog post after all these many months! Why the change? Well the equation goes something like this... at school + nothing to do = a new blog post!
It is a Sunday afternoon and I'm on duty in the dorm therefore I cannot go to Timmy's or for a drive, I am, alas, trapped within the confines of my room. There are white walls all around me, a few lights and a window that allows me to look and watch as people drive by on the freeway, continuing their normal lives while I...sit and rot in my room and think about...random things really. For example, the other day I saw this comic portraying a little girl holding a diary close to her heart, in the top corner it said 1950's and the girl is yelling at her mom "Its private!" Then beside that one was another girl sitting on her laptop, the caption, 2008, and she is complaining to her mom, "man only 103,000 people have viewed my blog today!" Crazy how times change! I began thinking about how our lives our so private when 'real' people are around us and this isn't a bad thing. However, online, we share photos, talk about our deepest thoughts, talk to people we barely know and the craziest part of it all is that it feels normal. I notice how at times I will be talking to someone online and a 'real' person will come and start talking to me and I'm thinking "how rude, they are interrupting my conversation!" My goodness, how times have changed. Last fall the power went off in the dorm which meant no more internet, period! Suddenly the lobby was full and people began talking to each other. I find it crazy how we know so much about our 'neighbors' online and yet we may not even know who lives in the house next to us. What is the difference? Perhaps it is that we tell ourselves we are still safe, if the conversation gets to deep, oops internet cut out, whereas in person people can read our expressions, we have to be real and honestly in today's world it is hard to be real because we do not really know who we are. The media tells us who we should be, how we should act and dress and the music we listen to also dictates much of this. We end up with a generation that only really has an online identity but in real life has no idea.
Anyways, I have gone on long enough. I do believe I am going to go and find something useful to do, not sure what, but something. :) Have a great day!!
