So it begins

So now I begin my journey into placing my scattered thoughts onto the web, so they can be scattered across the glorious realm of cyberspace. The most striking thing to me about the internet is that it has no physical substance. Sure there are servers and wires and interfaces across the world, but nothing is actually there to be held, or felt. For instance, Egyptian hieroglyphics are incomprehensible to me, but I could touch them, and interact with them in a way that is impossible with the internet if I were to open my computer and try to understand all the wires and circuitry inside.

Be that as it may, I'm suddenly struck by the thought that cars are the bane of my existence. They are plotting to ruin my life in various ways. It's not enough that I have to pay for gas, insurance, and licensing, but then headlights stop working which have to be fixed if I ever want to drive thru downtown with out being pulled over by the police. And to top it off, every car on the road wants to hit me. I can see it in their blindingly bright eyes.

This first random ramble comes to a close, as I have other things that are intruding into my life that must be taken care of. 'Til the next.
