Interesting

In this day and age of electronics and communicating, my Facebook account is where I go to catch up with friends and family and just see what in the world are people up to. My Facebook account is an escape from the monotony of the day, which is full of crying kids, housework, and a host of undone accomplishments. These are details that I never would have known pre-Facebook, but now that we are all plugged into this communication machine, we get caught up in following people's lives. We find out what is important to people, what they value, what their priorities are. If I think about it too much, it's sorta scary how much information about ourselves is out there.

High School Memories


I really liked high school. Seriously I did. I had tons o' fun. To make it fun and interesting I used to carry a cassette tape recorder around with me and I would walk down the vast halls and narrate what was going on and I would have teachers talk on it and friends, of course. I'm pretty sure I would fit more into the intellectual, nerdy category. I would also do these strange social experiments like place my backpack in the middle of the floor inbetween classes in the heavily traveled "mall" as we called it. Then I would find a bench nearby and watch what people would do. I just wanted to see how people would react to a full Jansport backpack in the middle of the action. So random, I know. One of the only regrets I have about high school is the fact that I missed one important event. The Senior Banquet. And just guess where I was? At a Yanni concert. Now we know how nerdy I really was. Seriously, I was jamming out to Yanni instead of recieving my crowning peer-voted award of Best Sense of Humor. That is really humorous that I loved Yanni so much to miss my best moment. The black flowing hair, the synthesizers and the New Age crowd. What a fantastic memory I must say.
