Most people wish they could throw their tv out the window or take a hammer to their laptop. Most people never do it. I am not most people.
It was somewhat by happenstance, somewhat by finances, and somewhat by pure laziness that when I moved to the hills of Virgina I chose not to lug my 180lb television with me or fork out the $80 a month for a connection to the digital world.
So I have finally found some unprotected wireless connection and have come back from my sojourn from the real world. I only have one question, what is tweeting? I understand the concept, but what is the point? Is this a necessary addition to our lives? Does this aid in us becoming closer to one another, as humans, or just distance us more. More words and less meaning. More contact and less connection. I am young and pretty smart and technologically inclined but I refuse to give up my time spent talking to people so I can spend more time texting and tweeting and updating my myspace and facebook and creating online profiles. I can't even update my blog more than thre times a year, something I hope to remedy, but only to save those around me from having to listen to my dribble.
"The Internet was supposed to set us free, democratize us, but all it's really given us is Howard Dean's aborted candidacy and 24-hour a day access to kiddie porn, ya know. People, they don't write anymore, they blog. Instead of talking, they text. No punctuation, no grammar. LOL this, and LMFAO that. You know, it just seems to me that it's just a bunch of stupid people pseudo-communicating with a bunch of other stupid people, in a proto-language that resembles more what cavemen used to speak than the King's English." (From Californication)
Ok, holding the rest of the dribble for when I am bored tonight at work with only 2 rooms in house, both stayovers so I don't even get to do a check-in tour. Hopefully the phone will ring a couple times.
"Cream cheese, the people's cheese." (Again, Californication)
