The Astral Pilgrim

Lughnasadh has passed us like a swift wind through the cornfields – it came and went with much less impact on me personally than is usual and this has left me feeling a little odd. These things often occur for a reason, and that reason is not yet ready to present itself to me.

That being said when I look ahead to the impending autumn equinox I do so with a slight tinge of fear – the dark is creeping in, and not the dark caused by lack of light but the dark in the soul caused by lack of nourishment. I have spiritually sat on my laurels a little too much and by now I know just how my my mind and body deal with these situations – through doing things in extremis blowing both consequence and causality. My mind is craving intellectual sustenance and is receiving none, I have become disparate at the whole social networking element of the internet – it is a time consuming leech, the new opiate of the masses that serves nothing but to distract people from actually doing anything constructive, creative, rebellious or at all interesting.

It is a time sink, a thought sink and mental void into which the entire connected world is buying into.

Think on these little tidbits of information

Twitter is free for you and me to use
Twitter is free for developers to create applications that use it
Said Applications are free
Twitter contains no advertising
3rd party applications that connect to twitter do not use advertising

Now think of the sheer server power both twitter and the applications that use it must need.

How is it free?

Anyhow, small rant aside it is very late and I should get to bed before it gets too late to be bothering with. My mind has been feeling very erratic lately and so expect more of these more spontaneous and less planned posts for now. You never know, it may give you a little insight when all is said and done, I will certianly try to write things with at least some modicum of meaning and to not rant on too much.

That said, bye for now )
