connecting

12Dec07

social networking is the buzz. people get distracted by gratuitous attention. we connect through everything and to everyone. the fact remains that while you’re still not stopping that amazing girl in the middle of the street, subjecting her to a “let’s not be aliens anymore, i want to see you, to know you” speech (or that jedi boy), you won’t achieve anything. maybe you’ll see her summer photos, maybe you know which bands she fancies. maybe you’ll even chat all night about it. so fucking what?! messenger does not make a conversation. the next time you see him/her the same awkwardness we’ll be between you, even though now you know what she wanted to be when she grows up and how she used to play on nana’s porch with shells she picked by the sea. closeness. a stroke of hair not a buzz. laughter not smileys.

and still… while i smoke my hookah and think of someone can’t help but to wonder why i have accounts on facebook, hi5, yahoo, gmail, msn, last.fm and who knows where else… these social rules, “don’t say that cause he’ll think you’re weird” are a bitch.

ah, yes… on icq also… (insert loser emoticon here)

    e si asta comunicare…pentru cand nu ai timp de o bere cu prietenii (da, Doamne, sa am cat mai putin timp pentru blog :P)

    …. eu asta n-am inteles. a fost belea sa-ti faci blog, si ai pus si asta ca “motto”…. dar le aveai pe ras-celelalte de nu stiu cata vreme.

    acuma, eu eram de mult f de acord cu postu tau… da’ na’… ca sa intru in rand cu lumea (de fapt … pe de foarte adevar: talked to swedes, and you must have an account if you want to break a record on getting laid) … na c-am ajuns pe fb, hi5, etc.

    ps: last.fm l-am bagat ca sa mai aflu noutati, mai ales de la tine :) .. ca nu-s muzicant infocat, dar disting si apreciez totusi :)

    mdea…. true, true.. desi intru cu fiecare ocazie, desi te am in feedreader si n-ar fi necesar… e prea high-style fashion lately.

    dar totusi n-as vrea acuma sa te vad fara mess, fara social kk, etc
    it’s part of the ruxi package, kinda :)

    cand nu am pub-u’ la 2 statii de metrou si prietenii la o usa distanta merg si chestiile astea. oricum se tipa la mine ca nu mai intru deloc pe mess, dar na, febra asteptarii tot e ceva. si asa we have catching up to do :D
