Cyber world

[Moby]

Well friends. I had a discussion with my cyber sister the other night about the lack of posting on the board.

Cyber sister, now there's a thing. Resonance and I have never met. We've talked on the phone and for hours at a time on ICQ. I have said before and will say again that as far as I'm concerned she is like a sister to me.

My point is this. Am I nuts?

We all hang out online. We develope friendships, relationships and some of us even fall in love.
You see friends I got sucked in by an individual who's only interest in me was to massage her ego. I foolishly thought there was more to it than that.

So who can you trust and how do you know you can trust them? REALLY?

I do trust a lot of the people I meet online. You can call me gullible and stupid if you like. But I'd rather be that than cynical and alone. You see I have this attitude I treat people as I would like myself to be treated. It's just the way I am.

Your thoughts please.

Beware of strangers. I live some people on the internet and some I like very much. One or two I even consider 'friends'. They never call and write anymore, so, yeah: friends. I don't believe in internet love. I'm an honest man. It's the inside of a person that counts, but still: the first screening always goes to looks. You don't have that over the net. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying people should be beautiful. Hell no. I fell in love one time with someone who everyone thought wasn't that handsome. Guess they didn't see what I saw. What was my point? Oh yeah, a blend between my two points: beware of strangers and the screening process. You can never be sure. Remember that brit that was supposed to marry his girlfriend on the internet who turned out to be a seventy-something year old with a dead husband in the freezer. I'm not making this up. It happens. But I think people who fall in love over rather shallow conversations (sometimes deeper, meaningful ones, but still) are those who get sucked too far in. It's fun and you can make friends. But indeed: be careful. As I always say to my netbuddies: I could be a 49 year old lesbian woman from Germany. I'm not, but I could be. Just because I make it a point to just be myself here, doesn't mean that everyone feels the same way. Just beware! Beware!

I'm so disappointed in the human race and all I get to do is complain about it.

trust is a HUGE word

this is the internet........you have no idea who anyone really is.......you dont know what they're capable of unless you've spent some real time with them and i dont mean phone chatting, you know?.........trust is a gamble

and sometimes you win,

sometimes you lose

but always keep in mind........this is the internet *G.......figure out what your stakes are and if they're worth the gamble, then leave it up to God or fate.....

I've met some great people on the net... some i've met in person. Some, I could do with out. But, as a whole, my internet friends and my whole life on the internet, has kept me from going COMPLETELY insane. In my time of need, they were there, when the people in my "real" life were so incredibly far from my reach. They knew me better than anyone... even the people I shared a living space with.

Everyone has their reasons for being on line...there is always a reason. And no matter what it is, it is some how linked to the desire to escape reality, and enter a world where you make your "life" as you want it. You become some one you want to be... and in some cases, make others out to be who you want them to be. It's a fantasy. Espcially when it comes to romance. Some are lucky enough to bring their fantasy life into reality, and it works. But in most cases... it does not. The person you create in your mind is not always so.

As for my friends... they all hold their own special spot in my heart and serve, and have served, their purpose in my life. Afterall, I am a strong believer in "everything happens for a reason". We are all here for a reason.... what is yours?

And yes....Moby is my real pretend bro, hehehe *hugs Moby*
