Im back....

Disappearing and starting over are quite often impossible to do in real life, however on the internet the freedom to give up on everyone you know and disappear without a trace is very possible. In real life there is the process of moving your stuff without being noticed, there is the changing phone numbers and also not going out where you may be seen. Realistically it is not very easy to do. Also in real life if you vanish there will most likely be at least one if not many people who wonder and ask, “where did he go?” Online is a entity at least for me that is separate from “real life”. In order for me to disappear without question all I have to do is disconnect and not log on. Does it work. Yes!… I did this quite unintentionally recently. Mainly it was work and secondly it was moving to another house with no internet. Upon return I see no missed comments, no missed emails, nothing changed. I did however try to reconnect to a very sweet person who I had grown accustomed to writing. This person although happy to know I wasn’t dead found she almost rather me dead. Not convinced of my helplessness in the loss of computer access, not swayed by my lack of phone calls to make up for it. Basically after I received a phone bill of over thirty dollars in calls for minor calls to her (stupid sbc and their overcharging) I became very disillusioned to the idea of a phone relationship. Now I am back, not really, but occasionally, and have found the life I had vanished. I don’t know how to get it all back. Maybe it doesn’t belong being fixed. Maybe I must forge a new life. If this was possible in the “real world” I would probably jump at the possibility, so why not online… I think I will… All old friends are welcome, but from now on I will only let you back in if you make the first move, other then that WELCOME NEWCOMMERS… I hope I can make this life fun and exciting for us all…

Geez, You disappeared twice. Stupid phone bill. How's it going for you? Good I hope.

It's great how you can just start over. Too bad you couldn't do that in real life. Have like a...reset button. Just press and POW! You're back at the start. Anyway, I'm starting to rant so take care.
