Life's funny if you ask me. we all go through life wanting to get to know people and socialise and when we get our chance we either get the arseholes or the truly valuable friends.
Most friends you make are arseholes in one form or another but they're what i refer to as filler friends. people you hang with till your proper friends turn up.
Now these friends are ten a penny and come and go but they do serve a use at a time. It maybe alittle harsh for me to say this but its true we all think like this some times.
i myself don't have many friends who i'd class as being close but thats because i don't trust easily any more.
the second set of friends or the keepers as i think of them are the ones who'll stick by you no matter what. Always there with a shoulder to cry or alittle advice when you need it or just someone who makes you laugh.
now i've had friendships that have lasted a ling time and some that haven't and even dated a few friends but its always the same ones who have stuck by me that i've ended up been one of the arsehole friends and that saddens me because i've ended up through my own stupidty losing a very good friend and i don't have many to lose.
Recently i've been chatting to a really good friend and i think she could very well be one of those that will in time be one of my most valuable friends even ( dare i say it ) maybe more then just a freind.
i mean don't get me wrong if it does go badly i'll have lost another good friend but on the other side of the coin if i don't then i could miss out on a really really great thing.
its like we get on soooo well togehter we seem to get each other you know what i mean.
it's like i don't have to try and be someone else and she really likes me for me and i think thats what has had the biggest impact on me.
you'll probably read this and think what a tit but hey its my blogg not yours lol
we're dead we just don't realise it

the internet and its social impact
Now i'd like to talk about a particular subject that i find to be alittle sad.
Since the moment man was able to speak and understand we've had conversation.
But over time we have gone to lengths to communicate quicker and easier.
The humble word was invented and soon after the letter and telegram and then some brilliant inventor designed the first telephone.
Over the years technology has made significant leaps and bounds especially in the area of communications.
Now with each new device created we've come up with ways to help us use them effeciently.
I don't know if you knew this but text speak wasn't invented with the mobile phone but with the telegram.
we needed to send information but was charged for each word so short hand and abit of mind power came up with things like lol, brb etc.
Now we come to the invetion of the internet and my main point of my blog.
Ever since its creation people are talking less and less and the art of the simple conversation is dying out. We don't simply talk any more we text or email and this in its self saddens me because people are no longer interacting with others through speech and actually isolating ourselves (my self included i may add) through using the internet.
Some people are that bad they feel awkward when talking to someone in real life then if they spoke to them over the internet
and this i feel is a rapidly growing problem.
Eventually we'll be that much in need of our technology that if we were deprived of it i think it would take us a very long time to recover from it.
So i say why don't you stop using you emails and your texts for a day and see how difficult it is to talk to someone face to face.

the power of dreams
I've always been fascinated with dreams even as a child. As i grew older i found that dreams had alot more power in our waking lives then i first thought.
Everyone as a dream but only the few act on them. Albert Einstein, Mozart, Cesar to name a few.
martin luther king is famous for his "I HAVE A DREAM" speech. He envisioned a world where men were all equal. well look at his dream now men on the whole are equal.
His dream was that powerful that it started changing our world to what it is today.
So lets look at the darker side of someones dreams and the effect they can have.
how about hittlers dream of a master race.look at the effect that had on our world. it was devastating wasn't it.
He dreamed of killing all the sub races that wasn't german. but i thank our lucky stars his dream failed.
so there you go dreams have a power and we don't really know much about and what causes they can have on our world
No matter what you or i dream maybe its good that not all of us act on them.
would you really want another hittler living his dream or another albert einstein and his theroy on relativity?
i know which i'd prefer and i'm guess you'd agree with me.
