surf the blog

a few of my friends turned me on to this.  i have heard it said that "relating online is more authentic because you get to read what people really think."  indeed.  what a self-absorbed statement.  it's a great power to have to be able to "know" people without having to ever be vulnerable or to be known.  i imagine that it would be very affirming to blog something and have somebody else respond to it.  that's probably more "authentic" because men these days seek affirmation like my grandad used to look for empty cans to get the nickel deposit for (PA does not have a deposit on cans and bottles like NY or MI for that matter). 

i am not sure where this is going, but i am gonna inter the net, if you know what i mean.

peace

Welcome, friend....

I guess I hope for a "best of both worlds" kind of relating: face-to-face, mostly and ideally, but also online, for those who can't be face to face, or who haven't met yet, or as an interesting complement to "real relating."
