ha... oh man, soooo for sometime now I've been thinking on the purpose of an online journal in the first place. I know this has been my topic of past entries in my journal but still... I'm stuck on this concept.
For the most part I just sit in front of my computer so much for work its become natural to use the computer as my thinking tablet too. So here enters live journal. You can post pictures, ad links to websites, all sorts of things you cant do in a pen and paper journal. Its also so user friendly that its easier to use than anything else like word or photoshop.
So I spend my time thinking about life and all its different ups and downs and I end up writing some of my thoughts or rants into it. Its a place to go where you can vent. The idea of it being online is still alittle odd to me. I dont really see the need to post your personal life on the internet for a billion strangers to read. For some reason though people flock to these things to read up on everyones lives. Hey, I cant talk too much shit. I do the samething. I have to say it is interesting to read what people write in their LJ's. Some people really do talk about their problems, some people just talk about their daily experiences but its interesting because its always written through the eyes of the person who wrote it. So everything is from their perspective and if you actually know the person ( like in real life, you know ) then it adds a whole other dimension. I though have a weird obsession with observing though. I just like to sit back and watch people, how they interact, how they behave, people are interesting creatures and our social habits are even stranger.
I dont allow comments on my LJ because I really dont care what people have to say or think about most my thoughts. My thoughts are exactly that, my thoughts. There not something thats usually a topic of discussion or something I want feedback on. I figure if someone wants to talk to me about something then they can come talk to me about it. I consider my LJ more like a book, a record of my life, things I do and things I go through.
I like to go back and read what I've written from days past. Its interesting to look back on things I've gone through. As I get older I get a clearer understanding of everything, at least thats what I shoot for. Personal growth. If your not trying to progress as a person then whats the point of even being here. To die with the most toys? why? you still die..... all the things you worked so hard for in life, the cars, the houses, the boats.. none of those things can go with you to wherever it is we go when we die. So why put so much fucking effort into trying to achieve those things? I have no idea.
So anyways... ha.. see, this thing makes me rant about all sorts of shit that pops into my head.
anyways.... the internet is a weird place. Lots of weird people pretending to be something their not. For what reason? Probably because they dont like themselves or something about themselves. Well guess what people, whatever it is in your head that your self concious about... ITS ALL IN YOUR HEAD! haha. Individual Perspective, thats what life is all about. We all see things in our own way and the only thing that really dictates what we like and what we do is the media. They tell us whats pretty and if we're not that then well, we're just not pretty and alot of people cant handle that. Especially girls. We put so much importance on things like beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and its something that can be created if there is a definition for it. So if its something that can be created then its fake and who wants to be fake. Just be yourself and be happy with that. If you arent then you'll never be happy.
Ok, anyways... haha, enough of all this. I gotta go check out some sugargliders for mah bebehs b-day. =0D hehe.
