I hate stress so much. It seems like at the beginning of every summer it builds and builds until it apexes and I’m ready to explode on some poor soul. Generally this leads to several pissed off posts here but I’ve been trying hard to curb that. It ends up making me come off much angrier than what I like to think I am.

Anyways, instead I’d like to take the time to thank the friends and family that have been there for me when I’m stumbling emotionally. I like to think it doesn’t happen often but when it does, I know the people I can count on for advice or to just listen to me rant on and on about it. Then again, if you’re one of those people, don’t be surprised if I start bugging you in the very near future.

This phrase is uttered so much in aol im speak it’s almost as if it were habit. There are lots of ruts people get into. I try to avoid them. Unfortunately, I’ve learned that I’m just as guilty as the next person. A typical conversation with a long lost friend usually goes like this…

[friend]: Whats up?
[Me]: Nada, working and djing
[Me]: What’s new with you?
[friend]: same stuff

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard Brandon mention his distaste for small talk but I finally realize it. Although I’m guilty of the same thing. I don’t know how many times I open up a dialog with someone with a simple “y0″. If I have done this to you in the past, I apologize. Although I’d be lying if I said I’ll stop doing it. I have a few friend that don’t use instant messenger programs. It’s quite amazing, I used to think these people were those that were afraid of computers. Perhaps they just didn’t trust them. I now come to realize that in general, if I’m going to talk to someone for more than a couple short things, I’d rather make my cell phone bill go up.

In a way, this very much reminds me of people that don’t answer their phone but always text message. Do you fear direct human interaction that much? Sure there’s a time and a place. Perhaps you just want to know a short answer. Entire coversations? I’d hope you’re at work or doing something where a phone isn’t acceptable.

Maybe it’s because I feel like I grew up using the internet as a medium for social communication so much that I’m revolting on my own now.

Anyways, (there’s another thing I like to add to posts here and in forums) I’m going to try to start updating this page more. Ever since I pointed out to Brandon that he needs to update, he’s been posting like a mad man. I should at least try to keep up.
