Lonely was the song I sang, until the day you came. -JM

Are we really never alone? If that is true then how did the word lonely even come to exist? The loneliest place I know, is the place where the most people gather in a single space. Have you ever felt alone in a crowded room? The crowded room being the internet? I find the internet to be a sad lonely space, a desolate land of endless nothing. Maybe the internet has become and increasingly lonely place for me because ive cut off most of my ties to the networking sites like Facebook and MSN, FB chat. Its kind of interesting to see who is really in your life when you don't have a screen to bring you together. I'm wondering if this transition has really changed the way i feel about the relationships in my life. But i cant go back, I cant continue to pretend that all these relationships i have with people are real just because they are on a list. Maybe it is this sad realization that the most of these "friendships" aren't real without the screen in between. I wonder what would happen to the "now" generation if they took it all away, if we had to actually speak in person, call each other, and make an effort to remember someones birthday.
