Is it possible to write a post without having the subject center around oneself? Mmmm.....
In this age of over sharing I have begun to wonder if we are now living in an age of the "I/me" generation.
Though I admit, I love hearing and reading about others dreams and accomplishment and I love to talk/write about mine....But it seems to me that we are getting away from the real world even more and more. At times I see things on the Internet that people write and I wonder if they would say the same things face to face without a computer as their shield. Do others see this behavior?
This whole blog posting stems from a review I just read on the Internet....wow, it was harsh. Are we becoming numb to others pain and feelings? I think cyber bulling is real and what we do on the Internet is just a piece of what we can be in the real world, if you can pick on someone anonymously than what stops you in the real world from showing your true colors?
Any thoughts? Do you write things on the Internet that you wouldn't state in the "real" world? Do you use Facebook/twitter to pump yourself up or do you use it as a tool to see what the issue's are in the world? Try reading your comments on Facebook/or any social site and see how many times you use the words"I/me". Is this the new generation? Narcissistic?
Just "me" thinking.....

Bucket List
My friend Tori gave me this great idea. I think it is so great that I have decided to put it out there on my blog and give it some thought. I'd like to hear what my friends might think are some of their ideas for things they may want to accomplish within a given time period.
The time period would be short: the month of April.
The idea would be 5 items that I would like to do within the month.
They are as follows:
Write a letter to a old friend.
Make time to call an old friend.
Clean out my desk and refinish my new one and get it into working order.
hike Iron Mountain again.
Go to the beach and read something other than microbiology for 3 hours.
Seems to me that I could do these things, but with school going full stream time is so limited. But after viewing my friend Tori's long list, I think this short one may be possible. It all sounds like good food for the soul.
Have a great day and think about your own "Bucket List"
