Well, what is there to do while sitting alone in an airport for 12 hours. There is only so much that one person can do to keep themselves physically awake ... and so it has come down to two things:
1. Think and ponder about the last few days and nights and ...
2. Come up with a way to extend how long it takes to ponder and think about things.
So how does one extend what one is ponder about? It's simple, create a form of media in which one must communicate their thoughts to a mass audience, forcing them to re-live the events and topics they were pondering over and over again until they become comprehensive to everyone. Thus leadeth to the creation of the first Byrnes blog ever.
And if you were asking yourself what the chewing gum joke is I might as well start off my online journal by clarifying the choice of name:
"Chewing gum is proof that you can have motion without progress"
For some reason the joke came up again, as it always does, and I was the only one laughing as usual. I can still hear Derek in my head asking when's the punchline coming ... oh Derek, just ask Lisa. So now that we have defined the title of the blog, we can move onto other topics, such as the internet in this stupid airport. It keeps flaking out on me and sometimes it is really frustrating. But then i take a step back from my pathetic attempt to kill some time and realize that sometimes having to write the same email/blog entry three or four times is exactly what your looking for when you still have 5 hours to kill after spending all day here. It's sad, but I'm looking forward to being confined in a small chair for 15 hours ... at least I'll be able to sleep.
Let's all raise our glasses and give a toast to being bored and having no-one but your computer to have a conversation with.

Technology truly is an inescapable aspect of our daily lives, and I think it is safe to say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further advances, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could experience in my lifetime.
