I have been using the internet for nearly 10 years now. Although I have gained a lot of knowledge from it, I think I was happier before I ever came across this cyber wasteland. It seems as though life's beauty can not be truly expressed though these windows to another world. Everybody online seems shallow and soul-less to me, they lack the magic you see in your friends, family, or just regular folks on the street. It is the same with TV and even music. It seems as though this form of electronic entertainment filters out the true emotion and magic and just leaves you with... the plain result. I don't know if it's just me that feels this way... But...

Eh, first let me tell you where i'm coming from, I have run into a few problems in life a few years ago and it drove me to a somewhat reclusion. I'd still do things normally but I just needed a whole lot more time to myself. I recently came back from a vacation by the sea and being exposed to this generic form of life i've been living for so long, i've forgotten how beautiful it is in different surrounding, and how beautiful the beach is. By the beach, I have reclaimed lost childhood memories, I remember what it is like to be a kid and just be happy. The magic of life has hit me by that beach and I felt so damn good, all my stresses and problems just melted away as I enjoyed sitting by the sand and listening to the music all those local musicians were playing. I noticed music is a lot more beautiful when it is not coming from a record. I felt great, and I felt that everybody else was feeling the same way. Now I come back home, to my internet, to my T.V., to my same surroundings, and I already need another vacation... Now I feel like everybody feels as depressed as me...

I don't know, I lost the whole point of this thread... Does anybody know what I'm trying to say?
