changes

it's amazing how theory comes into praxis when I start considering the way my identities change over time. I feel like such a different person from when I was in high school, college, South Africa, Ohio, last year, last week even. I am amazed at how things change when we least expect them or how they stay the same when we try so hard to be different. It's amazing how desires change based on situations, based on trauma, based on pain-physical, mental, and emotional. I am amazed how much things change, how much I change, and how constant it is.

my life on twitter

so i joined twitter because I really do nothing else via internet to let people know what I am up to. Well twitter is hilarious because it is super micro, you can tell people your dreams for the future or the fact that maybe you just took a poo. I mean who would write that-but the point is that you could. Better yet it can get texted to people via their phone-even better. It i also the ultimate form of voyeurism, not only do you get to decide what people do and don't know about you but whoever is "following" you can see what you wrote at almost any moment. So both people or the multiple people participating are all engaged in this fetishistic voyeuristic game. And I love it. I wish people did it more so I could feel like I am even more connected-ok that was a joke but also sort of true-I would never think admit I like knowing what people are doing at any given moment but I guess that is what I am admitting to. So all of you out there please keep twittering with me so I can feel like I know you-like I really really know you. Or don't. Your choice.
