Most things are fabrications of somethings that were once legitamite. Then merely ghosts of ghosts of ghosts. Those things that cannot be packaged are still around, but there are less and less of them. Occasionally people can even appear packaged, but, as far as I can tell, we are still all real. Our experiences are hard to see around all of the commodification of ourselves, but I'm glad they (and this blog) are still very much present. I hope I never live to see the day when the two are confused, but, for now, I am happy with accepting things as they are because that's probably how they should be.

Homogeneity and ease of resources in a way where there doesn't seem to be any need for personal style, outlook, or self-definition: just pick out something on the internet and latch on.<br /><br />It's good to find your blog and at least have a small outpost of voices against the masses, at least.tamerajanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08031243893501906507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209738874840921100.post-44902811589511557262010-01-29T06:26:51.118-08:002010-01-29T06:26:51.118-08:00[Insert joke about the iPad here]
