So I just got off my second conference call today.
LOVE business through technology.
You know the funny thing though?
We live in a world where technology dictates our every day lives, yet it'll still take about 17 minutes for a group of 5 people to get all their internet connections more or less to get working together.
OK, so we're past the first danger.
Secondly, something will go wrong. A presentation won't open, someone's computer will crash (great timing, right?), or someone's girlfriend will call in a jealous rage. It can all happen, right.
You will personally disconnect on average about twice. Consider it the norm in our complex age.
Technology eh...can't live with it, can't live without it.
So I got this e-mail today from a friend...

Ch-ch-check it owwt.
Seriously some cool stuff in there. Basically comparing online relationships to real life relationships.
Very true...because as they point out, online is all about consistency - you gotta keep your image, message, etc etc the same. Because once you change it, people get confused, uninterested, and BANG you end up with less contacts.
Real life is much easier (maybe that's why contradictory me likes it so much).
You can like this person one day and that person the next.
You can have a friend fall out, and then be back on tomorrow.
You can change jobs, and your friends will get it.
You can change your political views a complete 360, and your friends will understand and keep up.
You can go get plastic surgery, and the people you know will still know it's you.
Haha good luck trying to change your photo online after plastic surgery. People will think the person in the photo hacked into your account, and delete you as a friend. What a tragedy!
Actually, it's also funny how we dictate how many friends we have by 'numbers' on our profiles. In real lifem you see a good friend, and mentally you know 'They're my good friend'. Online - completely different game, ma man.
Gotta keep up cuz you snooze, you lose.
There ain't no other place out there where that saying it more true.
So technology...can't live with it, can't live without it.
And also another thing....Why is it that every time I sing out of my hotmail account, ever since yesterday, the redirected page keeps coming up with the same headline and photo: "Breaking News: Teenager claims McDonald's burger infested with maggots".
Hell if that's breaking news, then call me Tomato!
That's SO disgusting! I don't wanna see that!!!!
No wait...I get it...I should be a bit more sensitive to the subject...I mean, in the meantime while no one's bombing any peaceful countries, the media gotta make something juicy outta nothing, right?
We call the people powering this: ACC
Awfully
Controversial
Croutons (they're the dry crusty media who have contributed to farming and grooming entire generations of people who believe as humans they're mentally 'attracted' to disgusting news and gossip).
Either way, I'm grateful for this beautiful world we live in.
The Earth is still revolving around its invisible little stick, and it's consistently night and day, which means it won't be stopping any time soon, so I'm glad.
Love, Peace and Respect
