the internet.

i think the internet is pretty cool. and since being here in peru it has been extra cool. you see throughout my day to day living i come up with a lot of questions. there are just some random things that i wonder about. when i'm in the states i usually simply send a little text message to my good friend nick, because he has a lot of useful, yet random, knowledge. i'm pretty sure that he saved my life about a year ago when he convinced me to heed the warning and not put my non-microwavable bowl in the microwave. unfortunately i am unable to send a quick little message to him for all my silly little questions. therefore i have turned to the internet for random knowledge. and it has been very good to me. everything from which side of my nose should i pierce? to are you supposed to floss before or after brushing? to how to apply perfume. pretty cool if you ask me.

now of course there is a dark side to the internet. for every useful bit of information there is also some real garbage out there. and stupid things too. things that make you wonder what on earth the person who posted it was thinking. things like the entire bible translated into lolcat speak. yes, it does exist. honestly? what is this world coming to?

but all in all i'm a fan of the internet. seeing as it allows me to "have the world at my fingertips".
