Somedays I wish that life was simpler.
I feel that technology complicates things, I mean it is amazing that I can jump on a computer and communicate with people all over the world, fly to that said corner of the world, see on a television some one in that corner dying, being born or otherwise, but some days it just seems to much.
Recently I had the pleasure to sit around a bonfire with a bunch of people that I didn't know and just listen to some musicians playing, it was relaxing and I thought if the world collapsed tomorrow would little communities pop up like this, could it work......
Probably not, but it is a nice dream.
I am feeling very uncertain of what roads I should be taking, I am 37 and I still have no idea what I want to do with my life, I am not married and never have been and I don't have any children even though I have always wanted these things.
Lately I feel that time is running out and that makes me sad, I guess that is just my current perception of life, I wonder if I will ever meet some one to fall deeply in love with, someone to grow old with. At this stage of my life I am just growing old, not growing up at all, just getting older.
Anyway enough of this bullshit.

It can be very cleansing to remove all the high tek from your life for a while. My mom calls me a neo-ludite (which is something a kin to new order Amish as far as I can tell) because I don't email or chat or anything. I have an old cell that just calls and texts with no keyboard. SG is really my only internet vice. There is something to be said for being out of touch sometimes and to be able to enjoy a silent moment or a pause in the action. I think people are losing that with all the tek making the world smaller and more access-able .

I am so addicted to technology....but i really do love having a time out. Going camping etc. Just to get away from everything. You think 'man, I could really live like this'. I actually like camping when it's raining too...I must be weird lol
