As I sit here after work at 7 am, Having read some of Deepsea's and Akalla's blogs, I stumble again upon a thought I've toiled with for many moments.
The concept is this: in certain ways, I can trust people with whom I have NEVER seen, more then I can my buddies I spend every day with. Putting aside thoughts of money and things of that sort, material items that are to be trusted, since that has never came up with my online friends. Mainly, my ideas, thoughts, certain aspects of my personality, and weaknesses.
Having had many talks with people over the internet over my 10+ years of online gaming, I find myself in someways closer to those people. Of course, most of them I do not still talk to. The plague of online gaming, I'm sure you all know. Games fail, groups disperse...You know it's Sad But True -(straight from Metallica.) Asking opinions, advice on women...or anything is so much easier to ask and accept from these folks who are neutral from those of whom they speak. They merely take what information has been given and process opinions and their thoughts. So in many ways you get a better perspective.
Having been around mainly males my entire life because of sports, since I was four I've played every sport offered me up until I graduated from High school, and because of having and older brother and, I guess because from being in ' the sticks', what most would call the south....call me a Redneck, hick, ya all know the cliches......cause of all this, I with hold all emotions except anger (which as yuns might know I very rarely show.) But with people from afar, I can and do talk about stuff with which I cannot talk to my buddies , family and people I know in real life. Cause, if I showed any sign of weakness amongst my buddies...all hell breaks loose and I would never hear the end of it.
So I guess thats what this may become or is or ain't...we'll see.
I got a good one brewing but perhaps tommorow....who knows.

Good to see you start up one of these buddy, and to know that myself and Akalla haven't been forgotten. I miss talking crap with you on Ventrilo :)
Sure we'll meet up again in an online world somewhere soon enough! Until then, be good - and if you can't be good, at least be vigorous.
I shall follow your musings with interest.
PS. Please vote Obama :P
