I'm bipolar (quadrapolar?) about this whole online business... in my philosophical mind I'm saying, "This is all bullshit, this is only a parade of people trying to get each other's attention, we should go back to the days without mobile telephones and internet." In my practical mind I'm saying, "What a great way to send messages to my friends to let them know how I feel at any random time I feel like it." In my fucked up mind I'm thinking that we're all converging into one singularity of consciousness through the web, like when all people over the world have access to all information some kind of revolution on a mass scale is going to happen... or we'll become one giant blob of consumerism and media-driven sedation. In my normal mind I'm just writing a bunch of words that sound good in a 'live journal' that other people may read and make me feel like I've accomplished something, albeit small and unworthy of vanilla icing.
Orgasm: an inward crystalization of ecstacy?
What do you think?
