Virtual Clutz...

1

I'm addicted and my drug is StumbleUpon. This site is pure cocaine. Sign up and start tripping through the internet. What you do is pick a category, the first one I did was drawing, hit "Stumble" and here begins an adventure. The first thing that came up after hitting "Stumble" was a website with the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci...yes please! It hooked me right from the start. If you like the website shown, hit "I Like" and it'll save it for you. If you don't simply hit stumble again. Genius. Everyone should be a part of this site, there's so much to be inspired by and be exposed to. The image shown is one of my favorite stumbles. It's from cole rise which recently features teenagers "floating" in the air. It has a very surreal feeling but at the same time I feel like I identify with them. Is it because my secret passion it to be able to fly? I don't know but sometimes I feel like this boy.

I honestly don't know why he's running, but have you ever thought of what would happen if you just dropped everything in your life and just ran away? To just run away to another life, another world and start anew. It all seems so thrilling. I've had a feeling that it isn't as plausible today as it was, maybe 100 years ago when things weren't as connected as they are today. To just leave and travel around the world, not knowing where you're going to sleep, having to snatch food from a local market, to meet new people and see the beauties of the world outside your window.

I had no intention for this post to go this way, I was going to mainly talk about StumbleUpon, but oh well. I guess this explains the title of this blog. If you want to do something, go somewhere, don't let people or money get in your way. Life is too short to just look out your window, Madame Bovary.

I think you might like the music video for "Blow Away" by A fine frenzy. That's what your talk about flying reminded me of
