technology Etiqutte

Epiphany #2,370 I remember being the most depressed that I'd ever been sitting with my high school best friend while she was absorbed in her Nintendo DS back over a decade ago...then shortly after having lunch with Mom who between bites was constantly on her cell...sigh...Etiqutte? I assume all these virtual interactions are addictive and compulsive and ruining future generations...

writing assignment #314

I told Steven I would take him up on his assignment and would write a few blurbs. 2012 is here and the frenzy of doomsdayers playing telephone after overhearing key phrases of catastrophic scenarios is like shoving Hari Krishnas away in the movie, "Airplane". I am currently facing a fork in the road that I've given until the end of the year. I don't want to stay in the Bay Area if things don't look up by then. Financially, the picture is dismal here in this expensive place. Why do I always live in these highly priced cities? Well, the nature of my birthplace was out of my hands, speaking of which this was the second year out of my family's lives. It was a lonely Holiday season and even though I have a mate I adore, he cannot be everything for me because those are not his roles. He has no sentiment for Christmas though. And it is not just me in we...I had also lost a second child a couple days before Christmas and I found out my girl Alexandra had her cancer spread to her liver and she is younger than me and I hurt. I hurt for her children and her husband. I hurt for myself because I am selfish in wanting her to live on because she has always been such a beautiful person. I am finding an envy in her youthful approaching death as if she were lucky it was over (though of course that is a terrible thought)...I find myself wondering if Bobby is as lonely as I am in our relationship...It's hard to have separate lives and to not feel more like strangers after going through everything we have gone through together, after feeling such closeness.
