Vielleicht denke ich zu viel...

I have always thought that one of the best inventions ever has been the Internet. Almost everything in the world can be reachable by only clicking a mouse. It has for sure changed the way we live to a great extent – a house without an online computer is a much more limited house. We can organize any trip to anywhere in a minute. It has even changed our relationships models. It is easier than anytime before to stay in touch with friends and collegues. Some people even maintain internet-based relationships.
Some applications like Facebook allow us to keep the world updated about our emotional status, the parties we go to, the places we visit… Almost nothing is private today and we are always available.
We are crazy about technology. Laptops and iphones are a great example of the last most desired treasures. And the main use we give them is to keep in touch with other people. We sometimes prefer technology to relationships, but what we eventually end up doing with this technology is to keep us linked to other people.
It is so easy to be online… But also so easy to go offline. It takes only a couple of minutes to sit down and compose and e-mail. But, as it usually happens, sometimes we feel terribly lazy to even do really simple things. We are even online communicating with the others and doing one hundred and ten things at the same time…
I can’t help but wonder: are these improvements in communication really helping us communicate? And in matters of love, do actions really speak louder than words?

Interesting questions :). Well, I can say that I spent too much time connected in a concrete moment of my life, and after that I learnt that everything will be ok if you control your time and it is not internet which controls it. When the time you spend here is more than the one you spend in the "real world", in that moment, you will have to ask yourself if internet is still good for u or not. A big hug and kisses, happy new year :).

Canción de amor propio (Ismael Serrano)

A veces me desdoblo y me digo al oído:"¡Qué bueno respirar, sentirte vivo!¡Qué bueno que te cruces por mi camino!". Rodeado de un espejo circular, soy feliz con esta esquizofrenia tan particular. ¡Qué grato es encontrarme vaya donde vaya! Por más que me cuento mis chistes, siempre me hacen gracia. Si me voy, si me duermo, la vida se apaga. ¡Qué potra saber que siempre me seré fiel! ¡Qué suerte desde un principio caerme tan bien! Y voy y me levanto cada mañana,feliz y seguro. Me hago el desayuno, me lo sirvo en la cama, y allá voy, menudo soy, me dedico un arrechucho: sexo seguro, sin riesgos, sin contemplaciones, dudo que nada me satisfaga mejor que un servidor, menudo soy para el amor... Y qué le voy a hacer si la gente me condenó al olvido, a ser autosuficiente, si con eso sobrevivo, que no es poco,mejor loco que mal acompañado. ¡Qué bonita, qué divertida es conmigo la convivencia! ¡Descojonarme de mi última ocurrencia! Y esperarme despierto, vuelva a la hora que vuelva, o ...
