Larger Questions

This blog is born out of sickness and the need for answers to larger questions than: What clothes should I wear tomorrow? Are there eggs in the fridge? Will it snow tomorrow? I find myself frequently staring at facebook feeds clicking on other peoples posts about their lives. There has to be more out there then staring at a glowing rectangle. Why are people choosing to be taken in to a world of infinit knowledge, most of which is useless data like a video of a chimpanze peeing into his mouth? It's not good to choose ignorance, but I hate the fact that our world is becoming increasingly put online. What kind of life is that? It's isolated and being "connected" at the same time. I guess it allows people more freedom to express themselves and to share what's on their minds. It's bringing more light to area's that would usually be dark. It's filling in the black spaces, but at the same time invites people to impose their opinions and emtions on to any given subject of event. It allows for tentitiveness. For example. A party on a Friday night.

monday: A: going to that party?
B: Yeah I heard it's supposed to be really good.

 tuesday: A: do you want to go together?
B: Yes, that sounds like fun xP.

wednesday: A: Okay, I'm going to were a blue top with yellow pants.
 B: Okay, I'll wear a green top with brown pants.

thursday: A: Omg, C is going to be there, I hate that girl. don't talk to her when you get there.
B: ... Okay, whatever you want.
A: K, See you tomorrow!
B: C ya!

... My example is kind of sketched out. But what I was trying to get at is that events, parties, gathering become more planned and organized. Everyone has their grubby hands all over their keyboards tweeking and fixing certain thing to create set outcomes. Everyone has a set notion of what's happening with who, and what the motives are at the party. Of course all sorts of things happen at events, parties and gatherings but I believe things should be more spontanious, free and natural. Untouched by rigorous pre-planning. Why are things so documented? I think this is my nature. Everyone should act as freely as they want, within the restriction of killing someone. Noone should let past histories or future outcomes dictate the way they act around other people. People should live free. But, this isn't how things work. There is alway history. I lived most of my highschool years living like there were no politics or vendettas surrounding me. I just got along with everyone I could. If someone reached out to me with a smile on their face, I would gladly take their hand and spin their world around. It's fair to live by how you feel. Life isn't fair and doesn't allow for it. My problem isn't with the interent, it's with politics.

It's sad. arriving at a party is like arriving late to a party, the way things are now.
