This morning a lot of things rushed through my head, and that was only seconds after I opened my eyes. I then proceeded to go back to sleep cause it was about 5am and even though this is exam period for me, waking up that early seemed a little counter productive. Finally, I decided to get out of bed at around 10ish and the first thing I decided to do was check my facebook (I get disgusted just thinking about it, why? Cause I seem to be so depended on something I hate, or rather afraid off).
Once in a while, I manage to find my self to look at the bigger picture of things and it frightens me. I think this is where nature takes over the brain and I have been uneducated down to the core. Imagine living in solitude in the wild for 20years and you see a computer, think the film "The gods Must be Crazy". I can't seem to understand why this tiny screen on this tiny box is showing me all these things, seems like witchcraft. I take it all in for a few seconds, maybe a minute, then I ignore it and move on with my life. The technology is essential. You wouldn't have noticed I started rambling on again.
I was talking about this morning. After waiting for my laptop to boot up and I checked my facebook, which is still semi-open now, it's just hidden so I think its closed and I can feel better about myself. I decided to log into my blog(and that doesn't lead up to this point, that would be cruel. Writing what I happened in the 20mins that it took me to leave my bed and sign on to Blogger. What went through my mind would be a little more fascinating but exhausting too). Anyway, I stumbled onto this post about Love and Technology and that got me thinking. You can see where my rambling originated from, but I'll referencing his post and not that it's is just my opinion or rather how I treat these situations.

• If I'm really trying to get in contact with someone who I just meet, I'll call. If i'm not to keen I'll text and not give a reason for calling. I think calling is alot more personal than text typed with generic phones that could easily be "templates".
• Facebook, MySpace and the other social sites are great when you want to get in touch with people far away almost instantly, either cause you don't have their numbers or your current roaming charges are a b****h. Lets face it, money is one of the main reason too, who would pass up a free chance to talk to someone far away(the reason blackberries have major appeals, not cause its organisers and e-mail synchronizing make work handling efficient). The sites make it easy to be impersonal with contact and makes it short; "template conversations". "Hey" - "just thought I'd check-in on you" "Bye". If you called me to find out how I was doing that'll be a lot better don't you think

I think I've ranted enough for one topic for today or rather now.

I'm heading to my lab, which is still my laptop, to design some stuff for this blog. I looked at it and I thought it was a bit to plain, I like simple but this was taking the P. It wasn't personal enough. Hopefully you might see me personality and interest shine though some of the stuff.
I just realised that I'd have to do some research to find out how to change the settings to accommodate background images. Hmm, Revision..... Html editing...... You'll notice the outcome.

Oh, remember I said a lot of things popped into my head this morning and I ignored them, the popped in a couple minutes ago and I started writing them down and then half way though I forgot everything. My memories deteriorating fast. Help!!!
