and me kinda liking it. Except for the fact that my typing totally sucks and I backspace almost as often as I'm making progress. Anyway, a good friend of mine sent me some article about the universe and it's many possible futures and it was in a word, saddending. To think that in the future, if the universe is on a route of constant expansion and after all the red-shifting of galaxies due to their distance from one another, that we (if we survived another few trillion years) wouldn't even be able to see another galaxy in the sky or anything since the universe would have expanded to the point that seeing such things would be impossible, is a bit harsh at the moment. It's caused me to "go fetal" in that it kinda made me think temporarily about what my priorities in life are, and I even forwarded the article to a good friend from college whom I've had many a discussion about technology and the future (back in the day, over many a beer) and whom I've finally reached out to in almost a year after a not-so-great experience (on my part) during his last birthday bash at the bar. I know I've been somewhat of a lurker at times at this board, but after almost 3 years of seeing people come and go, I think I can safely say that everyone is more than welcome into my life and that I'm happy to have read many, many messages from people and to have gained insight into the various personailties that haunt this place. To an extent, you are almost like the family that kinda took the place of friends after college even though I haven't met anyone here. Yer all odd-balls but that's totally cool. In the end, after all the beer has been drank and pissed down the toilet, it's this place I keep coming to. Cheers ya'll. :)
