When I was in high school the internet was quite young. I didn't know much about it, I still know relatively little about it, and we didn't have access to it at the home farm until midway through my grade eleven year.
One of my classmates said to me one day, as they do from time to time while we weren't reading with our free-reading time,
"I don't know why anyone really gets the internet. You spend a week exploring around, finding new things and reading jokes and eventually you run out of things to do. Every time you log on it is the same stuff. I don't get it, I just don't get it."
I really had no idea if he was right, wrong or even speaking to me but what I think I do know now is that the internet has a lot more stuff.
( A person could say crap, however I enjoy using stuff because it isn't specifically good or bad, it merely suggests an abundance of material.)
Today I have the house to myself, since my roommates have either gone to work, school or doctors appointments, and now that I have finished the chores and ate my breakfast I've sat down and done a bit of inspirational searching. A quick recap of my last few weeks and my next few weeks goes a little along the lines of:
cleaned some house; harvested some corn; drove some tractor; booked some flight to and from edmonton; spoke with some friend; searched some couch; watched some high school and college sport.
Also, today I have drank and brewed some coffee, and not necessarily in that order.
With my inspirational search I intended to plan my upcoming airtrip and to get my creative synapses firing before I turned around and fired them.
I wandered around couchsurfing and found a member named 'elephantson' which I found to be a funny name but didn't know why. I punched it into my favourite search engine and, after a few adjustments, found a blog and then followed a link to another blog and laughed a bit and the word play title and how my sister, Mademoiselle Murray, would also find humour in it.
The internet is full of wonderful stuff. Take that reading buddy!
(Now I've got to clean the kitchen before my parents get home from the doctors office)
