guess who's back, back again.
/eminem
i'm blogging twice in one day.
is the world about to implode?
hardly.
it's simply that life got ahead of me & my ability to blog about it. my witty candorical observations have been under cover mostly because my gym life has usurped my real life. yes, really. getting up at 5:40 AM monday through thursday has put quite the damper on my social life (in real life & virtually). although, to be honest, doesn't the phrase "in real life" seem to suggest that two people with brains & personalities that are connected by keyboard aren't real? oh to think about how that would weigh on such phrases as "it's disgusting with whom your keyboard has interfaced!".
i wonder if the internet is a phase?
i mean, back in the day, i recall people thinking the internet was a fad. there was the belief it was a passing fancy & people were crazy to pay $20 a month for unlimited aol access. at least we can say aol has kept it real & never really updated from those days. now people pay close to $50/month for high-speed internet service. when people shell out that sort of cash per month, it's here to stay.
the internet has spawned some great friendships in my life. some of them have endured in person, some have faded into the background. some have endured online, some have faded into the background. but it's obvious it's been a great way for me to process some things with words on a screen in front of me. at the same time, it's lacked the personalness(™ audrey from the apprentice 3) to truly understand what a person conveys. tone, inflection, body language & intonation are all true indicators of how we communicate. as long as these are missing from online communications, there will be difficulties in communication.
thus endeth the short delve into online communications.
say hi if you feel like it.
