life has become...

I feel life has become something weird.
Maybe i'm growing up. Being a man, and all that crap. Or,
maybe our way of living has changed with consumption of
internet into our daily life.
I'm on the internet every day. And every day I do the same
on my work.
I'll bet you, that I say more things on the internet that
actually makes sence, than I do in real life.

Does anyone else feel like theyre life is misplaced in all
this technoligy and interaction.

i do

but that is why i try to do 'traditionalities' like
knitting, cooking, reading. to balance it all out.

actually, that only makes it even weirder but i like it.

yeah life has become strange for me too. Being unemployed I
just use the net all day looking for jobs and conversing
with friends.

It seems the only time I go out with friends anymore is to
drink and party... the life of a 22 year old...ahhhh

The main question bothering me is what is being an adult,
being a man. And when will that happen?
Maybe is being an adult know that you will never grow up? I
think thats it for me.
Since I quitted smoking pot, life has become different.
My life seemed nothing more than a computergame in periods
when I smoked a lot. Even being sober was different than I
feel now.
I have more contact with the world, the days dont fly by
(last 2 weeks were longer then the past 2 months, I quitted
5 1/2 weeks not).
When I was talking to people I could just dream away and
forget that someone talked to me.
I can remember things again.
andso on and so on.
But I think being here and in chat on the internet changed
me positively.
In the past 4 years I have become very social :).
But I think the world is changing too.
Materialism and power, things like that.

i think i know what you mean about the net Junktion, and i
think i feel the same way...

i talk more and better (of more interesting things that is)
to my internet-friends than to my real life-friends.

i identify myself more to my web nickname(s) than to my real
name.

real life do seem "vague and unreal" most of the time
to me, whereas the internet doesn't really.

this kind of things...

but i don't know if it's really wrong.

internet can be just another escape from reality, even if it
is somehow reality from a different point of view...
in our routine lives, i think we need something to escape
our minds. i'm never concentrated, i have music and dreams
in my head most of the time.

One should always be drunk. That's all that matters;
that's our one imperative need. So as not to feel Time's
horrible burden one which breaks your shoulders and bows you
down, you must get drunk without cease.

But with what?
With wine, poetry, or virtue
as you choose.
But get drunk.

And if, at some time, on steps of a palace,
in the green grass of a ditch,
in the bleak solitude of your room,
you are waking and the drunkenness has already abated,
ask the wind, the wave, the stars, the clock,
all that which flees,
all that which groans,
all that which rolls,
all that which sings,
all that which speaks,
ask them, what time it is;
and the wind, the wave, the stars, the birds, and the clock,
they will all reply:
"It is time to get drunk!
So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time, get
drunk, get drunk,
and never pause for rest!
With wine, poetry, or virtue,
as you choose!"


- Baudelaire

maybe music and internet are other ways to get "drunk".
don't we all have one...

so.. youre 21.

im 24 soon. feel well and truly like an adult now. and the
pressures there for me to actually do something .

having said that though im quite unkeen to let go of my
fantasies. these things keep me going, and smilin :)

i think im one of the lucky ones. i have no problems with
other people now. and im surprised by more and more folks
telling me that they think im a decent guy. cant describe
how much that means to me.. makes all the material things
lose significance.

all i can really say is that people are very important, and
i dont intend to lose sight of that again.

you have time to edit your thoughts on a computer, but after
you say something to some one, it's there.
