40 years old today.

Is it a curse or a blessing?

Well, it would be a darn shame without it I says.

The bloody awful truth is that without it I wouldn't have met all this wonderful people here in GL, neither had there be the pleasure of hours and hours of productive time spending with FB.

The no. of injuries amongst students has been on the decline ever since the internet and Wikipedia: No more paper cuts, no more bad backs, less fires due to illumination through the computer screen.

As well as the sharing of information has illuminated us all, made people smarter and understand the world better as with websites like:

I say good riddance to the real life! ;)

Of course we could do without it. We are doing well without all those things that haven't been discovered, or invented yet.

you're just offended

I hang out in here with YOU fools, and that keeps me out of real pubs where I could get into trouble. In that sense I could say it's a personal blessing, and, after all, that's the general angle you probably have to take in looking at the curse/blessing question.

On the other hand, I guess I didn't get enough of the total time I had to spend in libraries because I would still rather be in one than almost anywhere else at any time. I just love being in one. So I miss that. I got lazy.

There are too many "I"s in my post, but that's how I'm takin' a swing at it just before bed. :)Joj Y. edytował(a) ten post dnia 30.10.09 o godzinie 07:47
