Well This Seems Interesting

I heard about imzy from This Article. And i'll be honest.... I didn't even really read the whole thing. I saw the headline and thought, "What the hell, let's check it out"

So, without further adeu. My name is unanimous031515 and I come in peace? maybe? I mean this is a great concept from what I could tell from the brief time I spent reading the handful of sentences of the article I clicked on. A place where people can just come together and be... them...

Reddit was fun. But I'm over it. I'm over the circle jerkyness of the entire place. The "Hive mind" mentality. You really need to dive deep into unknown subs to even have a relatively normal conversation over there. I love learning. But learning is really mitigated when the group of people participating just want to bash each other.

I'm a 30 year old married dude. Going out and "Finding friends" isn't happening. I go to work. I come home. I clean some stuff around the house. I eat dinner. I watch a litle TV. I go to bed. Then on the weekends we spend our time with close friends or just with ourselves at home.

I never thought I would be like this. When I was in high school and college I thought "No way, that won't be me! I learned from my parents mistakes!". No I didn't. What I should have been learning was how they handled adult hood. My parents LOVED entertaining people. We always had people over at our house or we went over to theirs and had dinner parties. People in their 30s aren't doing that anymore. They are going to happy hours, still trying to hold on to their youth.

Maybe "holding on to your youth" isn't the best course of action. Maybe we need double dates. Dinner parties. Just to keep in touch with our closest friends.

But, we have something our parents didn't have. The internet. Now, I can face time with my best friend growing up who still lives in our home town. My wife and I can skype them while all 4 of us are sitting on the couch in our own homes. And we can talk for an hour. There needs to be a balance. We need to both accept new technology as the future, but we also need to embrace our past and our roots. We need face to face human interaction. We don't need loud bars or concert venues. We need small get togethers. We are losing our intamacy. I find it Ironic i'm writing about intamacy on a public forum to strangers I have never and will never meet.

I guess that's why I'm here. To embrace technology while getting back to my roots.
