Wow. I hate the internet... I hate lies... light a match; burn it all. I am just a bit upset that I have been watching a movie when I thought I was watching a life... and more upset that I am watching the credits roll. + +
If you have known me on the web long... you know that I have always been concerned about REAL people... and to REALLY know the people that I speak to online.
I have made an effort to meet the people I love online 'in the real world'. While chatting online in the library, I have always met face-to-face 'that person' chatting in the same library. I have met Hal, PB, Ong, Wiz, Manda, Kimbo, IP, Olie, Eddie... and so so many more people from the internet. Why? Because they are cool, real people that I have had the joy of knowing online and 'in real life'... the internet is not as evil as I would like to say it is (at this moment).
My personal belief: It is harder to be a real human being than it is to be a fake one. I don't just mean online either.
I don't really know why I needed to rant about all that... other than: I have had a fear of not being a valid person my whole life. I try my hardest to be more than code, words, images, a man... eh... just go hug a person today... and stop staring at a stupid computer monitor (I am sure it will still be there when you get back).
Be alive.
