and here is the real

i wandered the web for however long i was gone from here and found nothing appealing to the real... facebook no longer feels real to me, it's just another distraction from real life, just another way to avoid actual communication... leaving notes for people when they are not available is one thing, but posting public messages to no one or even sending group messages to anyone when actual interactive contact can be shared by phone is avoiding the contact and less satisfying for me than ever before... living with a real person has something to do with that, but being online for more than two decades also puts the whole key-tapping lifestyle into perspective...

as does this: a wake up call for us all (are you online too much?... is your online activity affecting your real life offline?... hope it's positive for you)... as for me, i'll keep my updates here (or wherever the next stop is for my endless babbling) as i've been doing since i first learned to write and use the written word for myself as i do (ask if you don't understand what i mean by that) for me and posterity and anyone who cares, but i hope, if you find my daily updates here or anywhere, that you give me a call and/or come on over and make it real...

enjoy your life and treasure it and everyone who is really in it and please try to remember, life is offline, here we share words for a moment and that's nice, sweet, great, and sometimes wonderful, but the real people who matter are flesh and blood right there in your physical space...

i appreciate you sharing words here or anything online... but you are welcome to make it more real and meaningful by calling or sharing offline even more, for it is then, offline, in the flesh, that matters most...

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
