Idle Idols...

While I sat idle... drinking my morning coffee...I once again was taken in by something I formally detested....my droid....or freaking cell phone that has everything....its ridiculous, people walking around... all over with little boxes of ticky tacky in there hands, staring off intently... into the great black oblivion of the internet,texts, or whatever else that may tickle their fancies....all the while I vowed to never become one of the mindless automatons... taken in by the sickly sweet song of the technological siren....beckoning all to just crash the boat into the rocks allready...I thought that the reality of reality was way more appealing to me...and would never be swayed by the idols of virtual reality or tv, or any other medium that I percieved only further separated us.... by choosing rather to stare off into little boxes of ticky tacky...wholly divided from the world around them by some fantasy land in a box in the hand...I told myself I was better than that...above it somehow...able to transend the beat of the rest of the herd of sheep... that eventually leads to the slaughter...I was above it....I could do this...look into peoples eyes rather than a box...talk to people again face to face rather than with boxes of words....like this box....that I find myself in now....tapping away on a virtual keyboard...in the virtual world...full of idle idols....just waiting there for me to cling to....I am a hypocrite...drinking coffee...on Tuesday morning...in Arizona...at Starbucks...oblivious to the reality of a room full of folks...alone in their virtual worlds... I can tell you though that it is Tuesday...according to the box...and that according to google....Susan Boyles cats all have personal trainers and psychics at their beck n call now...as do I...here in this virtual word....but I digress... Hope all is amazing in your neck of the woods....
