wtf is the internet?

Holy ice storm batman!! Today began with digging my RSX out of an inch of ice. I then proceeded to drive to work (scariest drive of my life!!!) And am now working til 3pm. Its snowing, hard. It went from post-apocalyptic nuclear winter to post-apocalyptic winter wonderland. I love upstate NY. At work, I do meet random mutants and characters. One in particular just sparked my thought process. She was wandering, meandering even, and looking lost. I asked her if I could help her find anything, and we got to talking. She said that not only did she have no power but no internet. She felt lost. I was kind of taken back at this. Are we so dependent on our technology that were lost without it? Yes, I say to that. my morning routine is wake up, shower, eat breakfast and check WoW, gmail, and all of the forums I'm expected to be active on. This morning, however, I woke up, showered and ate breakfast in the same room as my parents while making commentary on the news. It was nice. Generally I enjoy my solitude in the mornings since I hate the world, but today was a nice change of pace. Granted, I don't want to do it every morning.

Anyways, I was seriously mindfucked by this... So much so, that I'm blogging about it, on the internet, from my Blackberry.

In hoc signo vinces, Slainte and keep it real.
