And in the end, the love you take… January 1, 2008

is equal to the love. . . .

i was talking to my cousin who is a writer in New York City. We had a short conversation about how now, thanks to the internet, things have become next to immortal. Think about it, blogs? If this crazy world doesn’t change too much, your grandkids might be “Googling” and finding your exact words. Myspaces? whoa. better delete those before your kids get the impression that their parents were perfect. Pretty amazing how years from now you just might be able to go back and look at your past, through the eyes of a computer (if thats what it will still be called….) screen, see stories, posts, pictures, and think….whoa. Never thought i’d go back there.

Me: yeah, something like that.

…….you make.

living is easy with eyes closed January 1, 2008

One of my friends recently vacationed in Lancaster, PA. (aka) Amish Country. The whole thing weirdly fascinates me, them Amish. Having been in situations where i even feel that i’m way too sheltered, looking at the way the Amish girls dress, their transportation…or lackthereof, I’m trying to figure out, as a friend said, if i respected them or just thought they were utterly rediculous. I guess it saves the problem of any vice of female self consciousness creeping in, wearing make up isn’t expected at all.  Its amazing how “out there” their ways are to the average American. To not give a shit about Britney Spears, and…to not be judged on how much skin you are not showing….ps. gas prices never alter. But at the same time, using real toilets might come in handy once in a while, and i dont know for sure, but i think i love the telephone…or skip that, i guess i mean, cell phone nowa’days. They seem really intouch with humanity, and it seems thats what they are going for. They’re oddly enough populating without any problem. One of those, leave it alone and it will reside without need of aid. Sounds good for them….?
