We will all come together In 3-d on the Forum.
The software exist now, I would be able to meet
with anyone on the forum,I'm not sure how tolerant
a Forum member would be with me. It depends on what
you expect.If Infamous Is what you expect,to what level.
All the Texans that don't share my passions with fire ants.
The world economy has moved me around like chess piece.
Had I did all the right things with computers I would have
been where you are now In limbo,no regrets. I would like to
be able to communicate better,but why what does It all
mean,Is there a purpose In what we are doing, I think so.
Young minds will remember this stuff when they are confronted
visual pictures In a fleeting moment that they must react for
good or bad. How they will treat someone or form an opinion.
Its really good for know It all's,they must confront a memory
of something to which they can move by In contempt of there
self worth,state of mind.Where are you.

self worth,state of mind, Where are you?
Well, loosewire, I would rather meet in a bar, then in 3d on the 'net.

Even if you dont drink.

I am not even on facebook and the like.

Actually, a friend said I am, apparently my blackberry auto-enroled me on facebook, but there is nothing there.

As for self worth and state-of-mind, that all changes "on-line".

Many people lie about their age, weight, hair color, etc.. Just because there Online-Self-Image and their true self-image are 2 different things.

I have a cousin who was "addicted" to the 'net.

A straight A student ALL HIS LIFE, went to college, first time away from home, and stayed on-line all day. Ate once a day, missed all of his classes, and didn't sleep until he fell over.

He was not an attractive guy, had speech problems, dental and skin problems, glasses.. skinny, scrawny..

The whole package.

But not on-line.

He has cyber-sex, cyber-girlfriends, cyber-friends, cyber-hangouts, etc..

In real life, he didn't even have a roomate in the dorm.

The first month 3 roomates requested different rooms.

They couldn't sleep with him click-click-tap-tapping all night.

It is a horrible thing. Many kids chew on a gun barrel to get out.

He dropped out of school. Had a full acedemic scholarship.

After the school psycharist talked to him, the school limited his connectivity.

4 hours a day. No more than 1 hour at a time without a 30 min break.

So, he downloaded webpages and spent the downtime preparing his replys and emails, then when it came back up, he wound continue.

Finally, they kicked him out. He had a 0.0 GPA.

I saw him back at his parents house. He would not eat with us, or even get up from the computer to hug or shake hands.

If you said hello, he would say "hi" without pulling his eyes off the screen of hands from the mouse/keyboard.

So, I dont think the 3d social interactivity is a good thing.

It makes the disabled, fixed. The bald hairful, the fat skinny, the bulimic healthy.

Ugg. Go outside.

Thats one thing I love about electronics.

Sure you can stay on-line and hunched over your bench all day...as you should ;), but at the completion of a goal, get out.

Fly or drive or whatever your projects.

Test the transmission distance of your transmitter/receiver set.

Walk your dog.

Find a dead-drop.

Meet a girl/guy.

Have a drink.

See your family.

HUG YOUR FAMILY.

What were we talking about? ;)
