so today i narrowly escaped being caught in a monsoon downpour, normally i wouldnt have minded but today just wasnt the day for it. I found my thought wandering today, as it was hard to focus on the task at hand, which well wasnt all that good. now thinking back i can't remember what it was i was thinking about, its almost as if i lost the entire day. I've been browsing the profiles here on cupid. hmm interesting people, although i wonder if i will actually meet any of them, not that im adverse to meeting someone as thats why i joined but just if this sight is actually for real or more of a gimmick.

Earlier i had a discussion with a coworker about the art of the conversation, and it made me wonder, is it being lost in the information age? All people want to do is IM or Email, gone are the longhand letters or face to face conversations. So much is lost in communication between people when there is no interaction, things are misinterpreted, nuances are lost, warmth, emotion, the intangibles. People are forgetting how to connect.  I have a few friends that still write in longhand, i always look forward to those letters, i find it soo personal, in the sense that there is the texture of the paper, the hand creased folds, the pressure of the pen on the paper, the flourish in the writing, the effort that goes into it since you can't hit backspace. I don't really know how to explain it any more than that, but its as if they are sending a piece of the themselves. I think thats why soldiers cherish those letters from home so much. its a connection. 

Well enough rambling for now.
