It is often easier for me also to let out what's inside of me in this realm and there is no doubt that I find other people who share my interests. I would never have been able to share thoughts with you, Sophia, if it weren't for the internet. And I guess, it is really important that new ideas and impressions be shared not only between individuals at this point, but also between cultures. And I believe that there has already been that kind of an impact from the internet. How else would so many marginalized people of the world be discovering each other? And with the incredible control over mainstream media, this may be the best way for us to find out what is really happening in the world. I guess I was really venting about my tendency to avoid the physical work and the physical interactions that I am going to have to face. And a lot of the realization that has happened to prepare me for that has come from ideas and thoughts shared through the internet. Actually, I agree with you both, Sophia and BJ.

I tend to avoid it, so I rely perhaps too heavily on the Internet for my socialization. One of the facets of the Internet that I enjoy most is that I am able to easily find people who share the same interests that I have. I've also found that at times, certain email discussions have so much emotional power to them, that they transcend the physical realm. For me, it is easier to spill my emotions online. I couldn't dream of it in the physical realm. I guess I would say that the Internet is a spiritual place. I’m happy that you’re able to find pleasure in face-to-face interaction.

But not everyone you want to meet is nearby. A simple fact. Also, not everyone who will like and maybe someday buy your music is nearby. Also a simple fact. Websites are a way for us to widen our circle. They can also, eventually, allow us to make a bit of dough doing something we love to do. So, it all comes down to balance. As it always does. ;) Yes, face to face is good. But not everyone you want to meet is nearby. A simple fact.
