My friend's mother died yesterday...

It makes one think about why we attach our life stories to the internet instead of going out and living life to the fullest. Who knows? Tomorrow, you could step off the sidewalk and get run over by a bus. Sure, I suppose one could say that we live life and THEN share it on the internet, but perhaps instead of sharing it with strangers, we should share it with people we know.

I know for sure that many of my friends here are more informed about what is going on with me from reading this blog than actually seeing me face-to-face. That's a shame, truly. I really should be doing a better job of being with these people that I care about so much. I have become tied up with the self-centredness of this anonymous "fame" and the convenience of the technology. I know that I have said this before though.

So today, in honour of my friend's mom, I vow to spend less time typing (and surfing) and more time seeing my friends and family, sharing laughter and tears and holding each other's hands...just because...

I will jump headlong into making life what I want it to be instead of what it should be.

Cheers!
