as the title implies, this one will be short.
i think.

today while at work i came up with this quote:
"facebook gives us the terrible ability to know what all our friends are doing without us"

i say this matter-of-factly. you're sitting at home on the computer, looking at facebook, and you can read people's walls and see their pictures. you see where they have been and what they are going to do and you aren't involved, you're just viewing.

some aspects of facebook are bad for me. i like knowing things about people, sometimes i'm nosy. if somebody handed me their diary/journal, i would devour it. i don't think it's a desire for something like gossip, but sharing inner thoughts/feelings/secrets is what makes me feel close to somebody else, and i want to feel close to people. i think part of that want is why i do this blog. i desire to be devoured. i also think that it's easy to see some of not many of my faults spilled out onto these posts, and i'd like it if somebody saw all my imperfections and downfalls and thought i was pretty alright despite them.

but yeah, facebook. it's easy to feel left out. it doesn't matter when you don't know what other people are doing. before, you could always call them to see what's up. now you can check their status or away message without ever communicating with that person. you see they're busy with something else and you give up contacting them at that point. if you had called them, maybe you'd have found they were just finishing up some work, or they were hanging out with people and then you'd possibly get invited also. in breaking the barriers of communication, we almost break part of communication itself.
or maybe it's just me? i could be one of the few who act this way at all.


nothing super interesting happened today. philosophy class was good like usual. i had a sweet pasta stir-fry thing for lunch. found out ferris doesn't have classes today or tomorrow for Easter, so i went home, read, took a nap, uploaded a video and went to work. came home, filmed video for emo's project, played some smash bros with the guys, and here i am, about ready to sleep.

i get paid tomorrow. yessssss. i need to pay for:
credit card
soccer
gvsu parking ticket (lamesauce)
rent/cable
well, really, i need to make sure i hold $300 for rent. i'm hoping my check is pretty significant, but i won't know until tomorrow. i'm also going to need money to start picking up concert tickets. hm... i think i could get by eating a little less than usual this week..... haha.

i can't wait for the warm/sunny weather to come and stay for a while. i want to do something workout related. there's a field with soccer goals like 1 block from my house, i think i'm going to take a soccer ball out there and run around or something. i figure if i'm going to work out outside, i might as well be making myself better at soccer at the same time. maybe i should have a workout/training partner. we'll see when the time comes.

i guess this wasn't that short after all. heh.

life is blessed. goodnight.
