The Internet Probably Knows You Better Than Your Mother

Our professor just discussed how he "Facebook-stalks" his ex-girlfriend. Nice, bro. We've all been there.

Sorry there were no posts last time. Micah was not here, ergo I was too lonely to post. Now, however, Micah sits at my side like the Lassie to my Timmy. Oh, let's be honest here, he doesn't care about me. He's two seats away playing RuneScape.

I'm starting to not appreciate how much we are watched. Think about it, we use social networking sites to be social, while the second we are in a questionable situation, the government or the law can use your Facebook to track your every move. Privacy is nowhere. It's something we have come to accept, but mostly because we are (in my mind) ignorant to THE POSSIBILITY of having our lives tracked, watched, STUDIED, KNOWN. Everyone has the mentality of "oh, nobody is watching ME," or "I'M not going to ever be in a situation where my internet use sits in front of a judge or jury." Well, guess what? All of us are watched. All of us have too much of our lives, PERSONAL lives, on the internet.
Oh well, at least it's everyone ;)

That was a bitchy paragraph I just wrote. Let me make it up to you.

Hope you enjoyed that.
If you didn't, you're not my friend.

Is everyone loving this autumn? Beautiful, right?
You better love the f*ck out of it because next month it will be frigid, snowy, and dead. Until May.
With that, I do bid thee farewell.

Adieu.
