Internet Incapacitated

I remember my first experience with the internet. I think I was in Fourth Grade, at a very small school named Edison Elementary. It didn't mean much to me then, if anything. I didn't understand what it was, why it existed, and I especially didn't see it reaching this kind of milestone back in that day.

With the emergence of Facebook, Twitter, and other sites in that related category, movements and protests and causes have become as simple as clicking a mouse button, if not easier. People can spread their message, gain supporters, submit and receive donations, and receive national media attention, all while looking up their high school girlfriend.

What amazes me most is the fact that a mere website that even my Grandparents use, can help to change the course of history for an entire nation. Iran may never be the same after seeing protest after protest after protest, with support spreading worldwide via social networking sites, including messages and groups and profile photos all depicting a nations' cry for change. With the existence of these sites, their cry can be answered with a unified shout from the world over. Facebook is the world's largest town hall meeting.

Decisions, decisions.

I'm closing in on a decision of what I want to do with my life at the moment. I'm leaning towards moving back to Columbus and getting an apartment there. I also really want to go back to school there, and quite possibly even go back to CCAD.

I know they are really an expensive school but I didn't hate it as much as I led on, and I miss how much I was challenged there. I don't really know what's going on with me right now, or what was going through my head when I attended CCAD the last time and left.

As of right now, I don't feel like I have my own life. I feel like I'm just alive, and that I'm not living.

Hearts, they break

and people, they change

one thing that should

just stay the same

is your outlook on life

and the course that it takes.
