The internet is both a work of art and the likes of a child in its terrible two's. With tides and fads that change daily, there is little that is easy to hold on to anything. You never know if it'll be there the next day.

At the same time, everyone has a large list of favorites that they check daily and places that they go. But as a user since the beginning, I know that holding on is a futile attempt, yet I find myself doing it on a daily basis regardless.

I've worked on quite a few different websites doing different things, be it writing, helping them set up pages, or just working on ideas, the majority of them ended up flopping. Nothing I did was wrong (as far as i'm concerned) but that's what happens. Most don't make it to day one.

So now i'm really opening myself up to the internet as a whole, mainly in the regard to videogames and news. Videogames because i'm interested in them, play them, and really like that small portion of the community that is cool. And news because, well, i'd like to keep informed when the world goes caput.

Now I know to not stay too attached too much at any one place, because places come and go. I know not to get too hung up on particular items, ideas, thoughts, or anything of the sort. They are simply too unpredictable to really take too seriously.

But from all this moving about and instability, the one thing that has stayed are the people i've met. I've got a full list of people on both AIM and MSN, as well as a few IRC channels that i'm a regular at. I speak to some people on a daily basis, and others once a month. Yet I still know all of them, and my list is growing. I've met people that are awesome, said goodbye to people leaving for the military, had great hello's and sad goodbyes. And each time was worth it.

So yes, it may not be a dump truck, and it may be just a series of tubes, but the people on the other end of the computer make it all worthwhile.
