Social networking is a great tool. It allows you to communicate quickly with people too far away to see in person. But sometimes we forget to interact with the people we're with.

Real talk. Things like this make me dread the day I get a smart phone. Even without one, I feel trapped in this weird environment I call a 'solitary party' or 'solitary company' where all these people are together, but they're not doing anything together. Everyone's concerned about what's happening elsewhere. It's easy to get caught up in, but it's nonsense. It's ridiculous, because all we have is this moment. I wouldn't necessarily call it a waste of time to be playing words with friends, but there's so much more we can be doing. Maybe I'm just jealous because I don't play =P...
Einstein once said 'only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.' And I think in addition, only a life with others is a life worthwhile.
