with all of our busy lives and our disconnect from our immediate surrounding do we ever wonder where all the normalcy went? we don't meet the same, we don't socialize the same we don't even love the same anymore. can we fall for complete strangers? can we rationalize that it makes sense? can we be promised and not have met? can my best friends be the ones i make believe, made semi real via some cables and cords. can my hottest fantasies be ones i have never seen or heard? can i reach out and touch you having no clue what direction to extend my arms? it is a strange world, this blogger world... i have made some unexpected friends, stumbled upon some strange enemies, realized some of my own insecurities, and then realized a few more things i didn't care to know... saw some babies and watch these little beings grow, swapped music, books, and celebrity pics... reached out across the ocean to find and lose love... shook some hands, and patted some backs and maybe even sold my soul for a few comments...

Seems that I've collected too many souls of late. Look for yours on ebay soon.
Nice post and I know of which you speak. Like I told you before...all my friends are an assortment of 0's and 1's now. After I moved away from the only two I would ever truly call brothers, I've never felt the need to make more.
It's sad...but not really.
gaaawd yeah. you've been thru a lot. really!!
but it's good tho isn't it. I wish I could make more contacts with blogger, but strangely, how hard i try it's not really possible. (maybe I should upload pics of me, showering nakedly).
It's these moments where u think. Is it good? Or bad? I just figured that I blurted all stupid stuff out ... true narcism, and almost got purple from it.
I hope you're talking about me when u mention fantasies ;) muahahaha...
and you truely shagged... shooked my back.
WOW. Deep post.
All that I see is missing from this post, is the phrase, "sold a half eaten piece of toast that looks like the virgin mary on eBay", and you've done it all.
Shroomie rocks!
My exploits are nonexistent by comparison! You do get around, Shroomie.
At any rate, you nailed it. This is an unusual form of communication. However, think of everyone you've contacted -- everyone who races to read your latest post and laugh, cry, feel stimulated, or all of the above. Regardless of what anyone thinks, no one does it better than you...
A Thousand Times Yes
I said yes, I said yes, I said yes,
I prayed a thousand times yes.
And the no that was hanging over the buildings
Faded like the moon at dawn.
When I was young I thought I was facing
A very aware world ahead,
I didn’t know it was going to be
Beware of dogs instead.
I said no, I said no, I said no,
I said no a million times to no.
But the yes that was in it’s last breath
Still hovered in a room with a permanent flu.
When I was young I didn’t know
That one can only read life in braille,
I was still struggling to catch life on it’s tail.
I said why, I said why, I said why,
I asked why for the billionth time.
And my bone slowly lost it’s moist
Like a leftover coke bottle on the street.
Yes, this dry whiteness of a thing on the square,
That’s my bone.
It lets the wind pass over like the last tender fraud,
Makes a little noise like old campaign billboard.
I said yes, I said yes, I said yes,
I prayed a thousand times yes.
And the no that was hanging over faded.
--Yoko Ono
Is that one big rhetorical question?
Skincarver- in my move from Phoenix to Atlanta, the one thing I forgot to pack was friends. I think as we get older it becomes harder to make friends... Sooo I look to all my little internet whores for some small talk every now and then.... it is cool- I like most of you....
Bubbly Theater- mmmm, naked shower pics- I will be anxiously awaiting those- and of course babe I have mini fantasies about you- you know you make me hot!!!!!
Speakeasy- Deep? seriously??? I take great pride in being quite shallow.... Deep, ahhh man.....
Tumuli- Did you hear that suckas- Tumuli says "no one does it better than ME" Damn Skippy!!!
Dale- a million times yes, I will let you out of the cage to use the restroom... seriously dude no need to get all serious and lyrical on me....
(you know I secretly have like a huge crush on you right???)
Creepy- uhhhh no. no it wasn't...
All I wanted to say was a thousand times yes Shroomy and then I thought, isn't there a poem that says that. While secretly Googling at the back of the cage, I found crazy gasbag Yoko hiding out. So all cut and paste that I am, I spit her back at you. (You're my secret shame too - shhh!)
Beautifully expressed Shrooms. It is a strange digital world that we have come to inhabit.
If you extend your arms East, I'll let you touch me all you want :-p
again, its puck. i dont seem to be able to leave messages any more
intresting post and it made me think, it seems to me our culture and capacity for communication has excelled our ability to control it with protocals of politeness and an antiquated understanding of interaction. people seem to be worried about living in the "end of days" i embrace it and cant wait to see whats next.
Dale- ahhhh, you little google cut n paster.... a thousand times thanxs...
Sherry- ok, got my arms extended back that little ass up here so I can give it a squeeze....
Puck- wow sweetie- that is a pretty thoughtful comment that made ME think.... I love how you phrase things. here is to the future- eh? lets see what kinda mess we can all get into...
Kinda cool, actually, isn't it?
its so weird what you can find in unexpected places, kinda awesome really. we live in exciting times.
next great invention im anticipating: the tv that you can grab things outta like in charlie and the choc factory. i'll be watching replays of greys anatomy 24/7, bitches!!
ps: love the new look blog
I am deaf - But I am a hell of a lip reader. I love talking to people online, blogging, etc.... it's amazing how it works- People are amazingly honest, because, fuck it, who is gonna bother lying - therefore we lay it all out there. And it's not so exhausting!
You possess the kick-ass ability to get people talking -
You are uber-talented and hella funny.
You have entertained and educated all of us who read your blog - keep it up!
Evydense- yeah, it kinda is....
Syandiedtoday- it is an exciting time... you get to reach out and meet all kinds of interesting and cool people we would never meet otherwise. Sometimes I miss the ordinary, sometimes I wish I had more of an ordinary life or ordinary friends but honestly, this works for me...
Loudmouthbitch- awww thanks babe.... seriously thanks- that just made my day!
Well said, Shroomie. You've managed to write here what a lot of us have probably thought. Rock on, babe...your posts are always entertaining and insightful.
Angela- thanks hootchie coochie hot stuff! but I wasn't going for insightful, I was really hoping to get some of my religious and political beliefs out there... I wonder why no one picked up on that??
