Steve Irwin is stabbed through the heart by a sting ray and died earlier this week. through the heart. The story has been plastered across the news media. I'm sure you've noticed. Only the first few hours after his death was it necessary to ask, "have you heard?" As I paced back and forth across the house this past week i contemplated his death. the death of an incredible man who was more cartoon than real flesh and blood. through the heart. a man i didn't know personally. In the very same week Facebook ignites a revolution by displaying how creepy and close the internet can really make people. http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1532225,00.html?cnn=yes
They then apologize, "We really messed this one up. When we launched News Feed and Mini-Feed..."
What is one to do? I've paced and packed and visited friends and family in anticipation of my rendezvous across the big water. After returning from wyoming, meeka and i visited juniata and jonestown, monogohela and coopersburg as well as some northern industrial town. its good to see family and friends. the family/friend relationship is an interesting concept that some claim to understand. people who truly care about you under any circumstances. incredible really. a constant in a revolving door world? possibly. maybe i'm being naive. but i'm rambling. i hope to update and such, later on. to be entirely honest i do not know what lies ahead, and i guess i'm ok with that. keeps things interesting.
