...

i've been thinking about culture.
why do people connect with each other through common media? why is it that media and technology rule lives? there has got to be more to a person than their relationship to media. it is true that ones responses to something disclose stuff about them... but i guess it's just that that's not my language. how is life treating you? what's really going on with you? i roll mad deep, yo. :P i guess it's just hard because i'm still trying to figure out how i want myself to be reflected through my media choices. is there a right and wrong answer? i find so many things interesting for their own purposes... i like being exposed to new ideas, even if i don't really agree with them. i was going to write a whole blog post about being at camp, but i wasn't inspired with words to say, thus i have written this, instead. i know i have a lot more to say about it, but my thoughts must first formulate. i just feel like technology is another one of those masks that people put up to hide themselves... or maybe technology really is a part of the identity of some... i don't know. i'm just different. i value different stuff.

After reading your post here, I thought about a Wordsworth poem, and I recited it to myself while replacing the word "world" with "technology."
