... at the same time I'm staying connected with people without having to have those generic converstaions. by making portions of my life public knowledge, my friends and I can discuss things we have in common. had I never begun tweeting and blogging, I may have lost touch with people whose grasps to slipped from having anything in common with me.
I'm not claiming this all to be a utopian idea BUT it is something I've come to enjoy & appreciate. but I also appreciate sliding around on a mattress that doesn't quite fit the frame in a house that doent have internet connection. I also, at the moment, love that I'm experiencing something like 'blakberry-thumb' and looking into the lit next room. grandma's turned the light on and is reading the news paper because waking up at 5am is just another part of her daily routine. and the best part about all this is we're going to enjoy eachother's company and laugh over the generation gap between her morning paper and my morning blogging!

i am blogging from my PALM
I am sinking into a mattress that is as old as I am. it is dawn and my mouth woke me up. I had my wisdom teeth removed monday morning. that's why this morning the pain woke me up at the immediate experation of my pain pill.
seeing as how I was awake anyway, I've taken the opportunity to plug in, tune in, and write on.
this summer I'm vacationing at my grandparents'. (hense the tired mattress.) I love being here. as it pertains to blogging, and facebooking though, my g-parents' home is pretty restrictive. they have no internet connection. seeing as how I'm a CIT major, I can't just stop surfing the interwebs for three months--it would be detrimental to my craft. for that reason, I've turned my Palm into a mini wave pool. I have access to the world wide web. however wave pools are incredibly shallow compared to the entire ocean, so using my phone's internet requires a little creativity.
adding creativity with a bit of elbow grease (asdfgh) and a lot of mispelling, I'm sure, I will blog! the topic of my first Palm Blog will be the beauty of Twitter in my current perdicument.
my uncle clay and I sat in my g-parents' living room a couple weeks ago and discussed the internet for roughly an hour. my uncle clay from the class of 'why do I need the internet?'. and even though I seem like an internet advocate, I see some of the benifits to web-free society. homever, the benefits of using the internet tip the scale completely.
the point I used that is relevant to anyone who cares to read this blog is the internet helps you maintain relationships with people met in 'the real world' & then it makes it easier to keep and share moments that will become memories.
I enjoy writing. but there's always been something overwhelming about journeling to me. I used to fear I'd tarnish the fabulous notebook I'd picked to use with my lacklusted thoughts and ideas...
now I don't need a journal to write in (and consequently be intimidated by) because I 'journal' constantly through text messages via Twitter. and at the same time...
