The utility of home internet

Home internet is not all that bad as it has not been a complete vortex where my time is commandeered only by blogging, myspacing, and tenaciously checking my online bank balances. I believe I have earned a spot in the google-queendom, doesn’t that sound righteous? Googling is certainly my favorite regal feature of the internet and not far behind is an unmentionable site (though already referenced once in an earlier post). I have been studiously googling divine intervention, pygmy goat breeders, downloading Picasa, uploading web albums, and learning about successful relationships.

You may have or soon may witness the results of my online entertainment/education. I am particularly fascinated by Picasa and the ease at which I can manipulate and upload photos. You should try it. It is incredibly user friendly, it automatically organizes images, and easily loads images/slideshows to blogspot or email.

Some bloggers that I read have been participating in this cool online community project called 12 Hours In Photos in which they take a picture each hour for 12 hours in a typical day. You can bet I’ll have an entry soon (though it will be more interesting than a typical day) which I’ll post on the site and on my site. Won’t you participate too? Come December 31, I am also planning on posting “12 Months In Photos” – like a year in review or 2007 Highlights.

Perhaps one of the most enjoyable aspects of internet (and my typical day) is when I sit alone, flanked by kitty-toms and puplers, coffee in hand, laptop on lap, writing and emptying my thoughts. Only some of my blogging makes my blogspot. The others remain in draft form that I return to reference past emotions or feelings, and to see how far I’ve come or not.

I use this blogspot to pretend for a minute I am a journalist and you care about what I have to write. I believe that you return because you think and live like me. You desire to and choose to: travel around the world, write about it, meet bizzare people, write about them, live in rural America, write about it, go to shows, write about them, hike the Appalachian Trail, write about it...etc. We do what makes us happy and do things to make others happy – because what goes around, comes around (and I’m stickin to it).
