Introduction:
Once again I've been invited by some friends to go out and party with them. Girls, drinks, the kind of shit you'd think you wouldn't be tired of hearing, let alone doing at the age of 21, alas that is my curse.
I never truely was interested in going to parties and meeting new people. Perhaps it's part of the social behavior of my mother, at one minute screaming at me as loud as possible, the next picking up the phone and being a princess to all her friends. That might be what turned me away from being the socialable type. Someone that can easily mingle with other people in a social situation.
I prefer to keep to myself because I enjoy the calmness in being stationary. Observing in silence, and watching others as they make complete idiots out of themselves, or attempt to give the illusion of being an outspoken intellectual. While this statement alone could spark a debate in itself, I'll simply state that anyone outspoken, that claims to be an "intellectual", shows their arrogance in attempting to impress their views on others, while intimidating them with their so-called superiority.
My Argument:
Many have accused me in the time I've spent on BattleForums, that I'm not truley living. That I'm sitting in front of a computer, doing absolutely nothing.
I disagree wholeheartedly.
Many that accuse a person of something, often don't understand the actions that person is doing.
This is a newer age of electronics. Computers weren't as available to the public as they were when our parents were our age. As far as they know, they think we're sitting at home, typing meaningless garbage on our computers to friends we see everyday, or "THE OTHERS". Those people that are running rampant throughout the highways of the internet trying to steal social security numbers, credit card statements, and EBT numbers.
Through the glory that is the internet, I've learned more about other people's cultures, and ways of life by talking to people here, than I could ever have trying to make conversation with someone in real life.
Reason being my personality. In real life, I'd be too shy to ask a lot of questions or be friendly. I'm not normally an extremely friendly guy unless something extremely good is happening in my life.
Perhaps this is a character flaw of mine that I could try working out by getting out more often, but if life is something in which we're meant to improve on ourselves, and try to find happiness, I've found it through the things that I do on the internet. **** you if you think otherwise.
To be dead is to stand still. To never change, and not think.
I change everyday, and still experience emotions through coming here.
There's humor in The Void, stuff to zone out on in Chit-Chat without having to think much, and places like the Arcane Sanctuary for you to turn to when you're feeling thoughtful, depressed, or other.
People might laugh at this. Say I'm a loser. That's fine. In 20 years time, I highly doubt that'll still be the case. So long as the oil crisis doesn't escalate to the point where electricity becomes a rarity, I beleive global culture is going to change dramatically as computers become a more integral part of everyone's lives.
The people being raised to use computers grows exponentially every day. Schools for teaching people how to use computers will be a thing of the past.
