I just want to type. Of course I wouldn't mind if someone were to comment. I like comments, it lets me know people aren't out there just to peer into your life, but to actually converse with it. I'm not the social creature I once was. These days I spend most of my time sitting in front of a computer, pushing buttons. My friends are all gone, the new ones I make never seem to get my name right. I'm a fairly secretive person. I don't advertise who I am. Lately I have been wondering why that changed.
At one point of my life, I made it a point to go out and talk to people. To try and make a connection when ever I can. I joined many different organizations to meet new people. I took dance lessons and tried many leagues to get better and to get out. I joined the whole facebook, aim, myspace, livejournal thing to keep up. Now, I have forgotten the passwords for some, deleted some, and flat out ignored others. I started back on SoulCast because the name intrigued me. Soulcast sounds more like a place I can bare my soul then try to keep up with people who only contact me once a year.
Here I feel that I have no obligation to people and no one has on obligation to me. Even though I'm not friends with people on Soulcast that I see everyday, I feel people here will care a bit more than those who I do see constantly. At SoulCast, I can be vulneralble and not be concerned. The people who I read are not trying to take up my time. I choose to look at their thoughts and they choose to look at mine.
Next, we see each others thoughts. Not each others dress, clothes, shoes, make-up, or faces. Facebook seems more like a bragging site than anything else. Soulcast seems more like a collective of great stories and conversationalists. People don't brag, they post thoughtful ideas and questions. Thank you for all those who give the world a chance to use their intellect.
What happened to conversation? I try to talk to people these days and all it seems like is a contest on who can talk the longest and fastest without losing others. Nothing ever seems to go anywhere. Some will give the appearance of not monopolizing a conversation by utilizing tag questions. This right?, you know?, get it?, correct?, okay? does not justify indiviuals to continue talking on and on. I feel drown by the poor collection of sounds eminating from mouths. I like reading blogs, because then, people can take their time to think and edit what they say.
I would add something a little more deserving of your time, but it would be lost in this post. So I'll write another one that hopefully more people will look at.

Best of wishes in all your future endeavors and love to all,
- the one without shade.
