Community

the idea of community has completely changed in recent years. it has nothing to do with geography any more.

i have dear friends on other continents and we share friends on others still. some of us have never met and may never meet. some of us haven’t seen in each other in decades, but i am part of a community on fartbook and wordpress and it is real. i have made such wonderful friends online. we small talk and gossip about each other. we even fall out at times. the human spirit shines through social networks. we share movies and music and jokes, our happinesses and our sadnesses, our pains and pleasures, our losses and gains. we spend hours and hours together. i love farcebook. I love wordpress. i love skype, and i love you. all.

i met a friend from australia the other week, we had only known each other through facebook. we got on like old pals.

my mom doesn’t do the internet, she says that my online lover is probably an 87 year old, one legged, fat man from bolton, masquerading as a beautiful woman. i hope she’s right.

    I feel closer up many people I’ve met online than to some of the people I know in real life. The level of honesty is what makes it great.

    I’m sure your lady is a lady. And a pretty one at that.

          • Ok. I give up. I think your whole family said it during an intervention they held for you to confront you about your internet addiction.

              • I thought so. I’ve always felt that I was psychic, and now I’ve proved it. Thank you, Kyle. I can now pursue a new calling… 🙂
