November 11th, 2009 · Comments Off
Alright, so I for the first time in quite a long while, had a very vivid dream, and I mean very vivid. I think it is interesting because of the discussion yesterday about dreams and how they might be connected to our vision of reality. I think this dre…

Social Networking: Why Am I Blogging About This?
November 6th, 2009 · Comments Off
In all honesty, I don’t know why I am blogging about this topic. It came to me today in a form that caused me to think about it in a different way than I had previously been looking at it. For the first time I realized just how “close”…

The Time of my Second Life…
