the internet is boring

i've been thinking this lately, but it really hit me today. i usually spend the time i take to eat my lunch checking out stuff on the interweb. today, i could think of one site i wanted to go to. there's nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing original, nothing creative, nothing unique, nothing odd. even my blog is boring, possibly the most boring thing on the web.

i like that people are using the web for communication - to find like-minded people; to connect with old friends or lost family; to debate politics, religion or any difference of opinion.

i hate that people are using the web for communication - to stalk exes; to hunt down innocent children and do terrible things to them; to spew hatred and filth and rumors because they think they can do it anonymously and without remorse or retribution.

i've always thought the internet should be about communication and artistic expression, but lately i feel like me and everyone else has lost that. and maybe it's because there's nothing left to say, there's nothing left to explore. all taboos are out there and public domain. they are Dr. Phil'ed to death. there are no more taboos to explore and deconstruct. what's left to say? what's left to explore?

    Speak, the mind is a lovely thing to explore, its always great to find things u want to express, even more great that u have the power and the strentgh, courage, to say them, so many people keep their mouths shut when have something to say, like me, for instince, i am loosing my voice, in short its just good to know someone has something on their mind that their not afraid to speak these days....
