I woke up!

I woke up and had no shame reaching for my laptop like a fix, like a cigarette, I reached over and opened up the little white plastic coffin and logged right on to that damn website. I am beginning to feel resentment towards this site. I am beginning to resent having to think of my friends of top 8s, and when I think of my friends instead of their laughing faces I think of their profile picture...

TV rots the brain which is why I don't watch it at all anymore, but the internet is just as bad in some ways, and when the repeated image of someones profiles resonates with you all the time, it is just not right. When people quote what you write in your profile instead of a conversation you have had with them..I am starting to look at my friends and picture their profiles, like a little Total Recall style science fiction...everyone has a digital symbiotic self tied to them in an invisible umbilical cord ( a la Donnie Darko) that comes up when I see them. I am looking at and talking with a friend but imagining them playing ping-pong or at a concert or at a park...in an experience I never had with them. I am double visioning representation and reality.
