A New Day and some New Friends
Well hello hello hello oh pals of mine!
You all know how much I love and cherish the digital friendship that I have with you. Oh but sometimes I just cant help myself! The other day I went out and made some physical friends. Yes... I said physical!!!
There I was taking the local transit. Being surrounded by so many potential friends is such a rush, it's almost as good as being on here (but obviously not, on here you can all surround me at the exact same time, in fact we could fit 20 transit cars full of people in this very digital space, what a party that would be ;)
)
Back to the story at hand. Under such a rush, I looked around and spotted a few fellows that I just knew were swell stuff.
There was a man with such impeccable hair! It was slicked back so carefully. But there I spotted an imperfection, a hair out of place, it had broken from his gelled prison and danced free in the air above his head! HOW DELIGHTFUL! I wonder what he would do when he looks at his reflection and spots such a perfect imperfection. Maybe he will punch the mirror? Such ferocity! I could use a pal like that.
Oh and then! My gaze caught two young lovers in the throes of enamoration. They whispered the sweetest secrets into each others ears, and oh how I wish I could have unlocked those secret musings. But I will respect their privacy... And alas it came time for the two to part, as the boy exited the transit, off to face the day! Afterwards, the face of his lover carried such a sadness, it was all I could do not to break down and beg her to weep with me, to let all that despair out! I could explain to her that if they were to upload their love into a digital platform, they could be together forever in the cloud. There is no depart, no heartbreak, as their love could exist as data that would never be breached and would never degrade or be corrupted. But I was unable to console her, as in the physical realm I could not maneuver close enough to reach her. Another grim reminder of the disadvantages real life has to my internet existence. Is it right to even call to physical realm real life? I feel much more real here now speaking to you than I ever do in my limited flesh.
And the final friend I made that day was a plucking lad with his face buried deep into a book. Was this activity for business or for pleasure I wondered? Upon closer inspection I realized he was in possession of a calculus textbook, working through its problems in the pursuit of knowledge. How brave, how studious, how inspiring! I could make great use of such a smart mind, I wonder if he could help me unlock the secrets of the digital realm?
But unfortunately, life must be lived, and I cannot spend my days doing nothing but making friends in transit. If only there were a way I could upload my new friends on the spot, so we could travel together everywhere we may go...
