Introduction

Today is the day I finally get around to starting my own personal blog. This blog is going to be centered around virtually everything that I feel is worth venting or talking about. Through these rainy weeks in early summer I have come across something that does not effect me very often...Bordem. I have many toys to keep me busy, for the most part wether it be my camera, banjo, guitar, mandolin or educating myself through discovery of environment. On occasion I feel like everything I do on a regular basis becomes "blah", even though I would have trouble living without any one of them. Lately I have been filling the void with facebook. Facebook is really lame other then the fact you can see what everyone you ever knew is doing now. For some reason I feel like a stalker so I usually try to avoid it unless I am actually wanting to talk to someone. Facebook only gives you the illusion you have friends, how many of those people do you see on a weekly basis or monthly even? I think social networking can work for some good, but over all I think it shelters us ever further. On the other hand I am sure it brings people together and you do end up talking to people you have not spoken with for awhile. But for some reason it all seems too sheltered to me. What ever happened to going out and having fun and meeting people out and about? Having a social network like your neighbourhood? It seems like these things are slowly dissipating as today's online social networking seems to be curving us slowly into solitude. Where we do not need to leave our houses to have a friend. Where we can have a partner we have never met. Where we can live in a pseudo reality. Or is our reality just pseudo as it is?????
