The internet trips me out.
It's weird how long I've been on this site, nearly four years.
It's changed so much. And this myspace thing... fuckin $450M?
Holy crap wasn't it kind of an SG inspired thing just starting out a couple of years ago?
I just spent some time looking around at various "social networking" sites. The internet keeps mutating and growing.
Whenever I go for walks I try to think of new ideas for some new internet phenomenon.
It looks like there's something close to what I was already thinking about, basically link real locations to a social network kind of thing:
streethive
dodgeball
There's this duality. In a way it'll seems kind of cool and interesting or whatever. I'm intrigued by the idea of how the internet and society are evloving.
But then it just seems kind of cheesy and sad to be even be thinking like that. To think of nearly everything in terms of a computer, all the while stuck behind a monitor.
But then again the whole point above is to facilitate more interesting real life activities from the online ones.
Whatever, I need a vacation.
It kind of makes me want to do something drastic like go live on an island or something.
For some reason I have this strange idea that it would be appealing to live like a redneck somewhere in some dusty nowhere place. Maybe it's only good if the fantasy is to actually be rich and cultured but live as a redneck as a disguise.
I don't know why that seems so appealing.
I'm at an ever narrowing path. There were the times from basically my whole 20s where it was much full of life, I guess you could say.
It's been an ever shrinking range of interaction though the last 7 or 8 years.
Things tightened and dried up when I hit 30 when I got the home computer. I have this thing where I can fixate on things like computer related subjects for example, but I don't like what it does to me. I studied CS in college and had a job as a programmer for 2 years before I bought a computer. And I avoided because I knew it would suck me in. And it did. But it was unavoidable I guess. I just miss that mode of living of how I used to be. That's an observation not a whining kind of thing.
In other ways things completely chilled out so all the good has to go with the bad.
I think by an observers account my life is very boring. I don't feel it's boring though, only because I never feel bored myself.
I miss boring. Boring is relatively relaxing compared to stressed out and overwhelmed. It means you have no major problems and are just unable to find some frivolous amusement.
It's this hectic draining burdensome crap that's a drag.
Yeah, I think my life is about ripe for a complete overhaul.
Going back to the fantasy. I'd like to be in a place where time slows down to nothing and I'm in an entirely new environment.
Wow, I was just going to make a comment about surfing the web and then I had an emo moment and a fairly long entry just popped out.
