This is my truth. Tell me yours?

Because Teaspoon said, "Don't forget your blog."

Yes, I am guilty as charged. I've been hit with a little bump on the road called life and I ignored this demon child of mine that is called "THE BLOG", which is the direct descendent of The Blob, I think.

Kidding aside, it's our usual ranting time, boys and girls.

Today's topic: On-line Acquaintances, Are they real?

To me, on-line relationship developed on a different plane level from real-life relationship. It's more idealized. Certain things are more...intimate, for lack of a better word. These are people who do not know who I am, and specifically in my case, do not care. I picked my on-line friends from certain communities, and to me, which automatically translated to common interest.

Because the internet is a global worldwide communication tool, the market is definitely bigger than what is available in my hometown. Hence, I have much better chance of finding someone with the same brainwave pattern, same ideology, same way of thinking and looking at the world. I am not limited by any physical specification, it's their brain I've befriended with, and with that common-ness, I am able to tell them all my darkest thoughts without being afraid of rejection.

I've been picked-up, brushing the dust off, pep-talked and send back to the battlefield of Life's War quite a few times too many to called them anything others than "friends". These so-called "internet friends" do not know me and do not have any benefit in my life other than the pleasure of having myself present on the chatroom. They desire nothing but merely my company.

I'm not saying real-life friends are not that, but it's much easier to see the ulterior motives.


Real-life friends are more limited by the physicality of the relationship. The relationship is a bit more...fragile, again, for lack of a better word. There may be differences of opinion, but these are people, who deep down inside of me, I know cares for me and have nothing but the best of intentions toward me – and they said, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" – and I see them everyday, hence, middle ground must be reached.

You wouldn't take your best friend from Sunday School to a topless show in Vegas, would you?

Curiosity is my devil's plaything. I like to see life from different angles and perspectives. It is unfair of me to subject people around me to such exposure just to satisfy my own inquisitive nature. On-line communities are readily available for that.

Tomorrow if I have time: Lara Croft versus Pamela Anderson, is wanking off to fantasizing about one more real than the other?

Because, honestly, the chance of me doing the naughty with either Clark Kent or Tom Welling is equally zilch. But since Tom Welling is an actual real life actor, does that mean he possess more...je ne sais quoi?

...that is, if I'm up to it because I'm just flicker that way.
