Late Night Ponderings

      Before I went to bed tonight, it struck me how much of our lives are filtered and how little we know about the people we see every day. everything you see online of someone has been somehow mentally approved by that person before they posted it. they always hold up some sort of online persona that can only be changed when they desire to do so. The entire world is taking leaps towards larger and larger advancements in technology and it is only making this problem bigger. My guess is that before Facebook, Blogger, Instagram, Etc. this problem was still there but it was much less of a problem and more of a small issue. The reason I think this is because trying to hide things in person is much harder that through text on a screen. What you type doesn't carry any emotion, it only causes the reader to think and construct their own reasoning for what you wrote. Sure it can be right, the process of doing so is even a lit technique, tone. 

      What I'm trying to say is that our society is heading in a new direction, and the possibilities of people living double-lives is more and more real with each passing day.

Return (Finally)

      It's no secret that I haven't been posting to my blog as much as I should be posting, and I'm not trying to some up with any excuses. I'm just trying to bring up a fault that I have found in myself over the past couple years of high-school. The fault I'm talking about is this, it is hard for me to keep something up and running when I'm alone in the matter. You're probably thinking "what does he mean?", I mean that when I have to keep something up (Blogger, Facebook, Twitter) I can never seem to make myself do it. I have plenty of time throughout my day to do it but I subconsciously avoid it. Same with homework (but not quite as bad).
      I plan on fixing this before I finally leave this school. I'll consider it a part of my masterpiece in order to help motivate myself to do more work on my blog (considering my masterpiece has to do with technologies influence on the modern world). The end of the road is closer with each coming day, and I want to make the most of my high school experience while I can still live it.
     I feel like this rant could be the start of something new that I post daily (if I can keep myself doing it) because it felt so nice posting on my blog after this long drought of posts. Let me know what you think.
