Modern day technology never ceases to amaze me. It's crazy to think about the many advances we've been able to accomplish at this day in age, but what's even crazier is where we're headed. While I'm definitely all for research and development, I'm not exactly one to always be on top of the latest and greatest gadgets and internet fads out there. Nevertheless, it's clear that I strive for self-expression and an outreach for new-found knowledge and interactions, be it through people or any other mediums.
I think that having started this blog over a year ago was the catalyst for me beginning to grasp the vast distances of a global and modernized internet society. I have the freedom to share anything with anyone, and overall it's been a huge success. One thing that I was quite hesitant about exploring was new phone technology (well, new for me.) Until about a month ago, I was still utlizing my old LG Shine mobile phone that I bought when I first came back from my tour in the Middle East in 2008. Ever since, I had been very reluctant to upgrade simply because I felt that a phone should serve its purpose, to send and receive phone calls; furthermore, I barely ever even used the calling feature on my phone simply because I believe, and still do, that if I want to talk to you I would rather do it in person. It wasn't until my phone began to crap out on me that I truly began to reconsider my stance on the whole dilemma, and so just as change is a part of life, change found its way into my mobile means of communications and I upgraded to an iPhone.
Thruth be told, my fears have become reality and am now attached to it 24/7. It's kind of troublesome, but at the same time I suppose it really does serve its collection of purposes. To make matters worse (or better depending on the perspective,) my common use of Facebook and frequent status updates brought about many suggestions from friends to open up a Twitter account, and after minor reluctancy, I gave in and opened up my own account. With that said, feel free to click on the link to the left <--- and 'follow' me :) I hope that Twitter will present me with a different, yet alternative way to connect with friends, family, and my blog readers, new and old.
Aside from all of that, this weekend will consist of several random acts. The first occured today as I established plans with Daniel and Fernando, the same guys that I wrote about here in regards to my recent adventures in Munich. We've made plans to conquer Frankfurt am Main, all else is unkown :) What's even better is that for the next two weeks, I'll only have to work for a total of 5 days, as next week I'll be spending 4 days in Stockholm, Sweden and a few days after that I will be returning home to the United States for 18 days. Words cannot describe how excited I am. Expect new blogs full of details and experiences that are yet to happen, but in the meantime I'm out to do some damage :) Cheers all!
