The internet has ceased to amaze me.

I now have a love/hate relationship with the internet, including this forum.
Also with video games, I guess maybe I'm one of those guys who just stops getting into games so much the older they get, but I find it impossible to get into almost any games nowadays.

There's always Minesweeper...
Fuck Minesweeper. It's all about the Spider Solitaire.

Use that to find new stuff on the interweb.

Kind of makes you sad, but it's only "life". The more something is common-place, the more likely it is to lose it's panache.
For me? It's airplanes. I was an airforce brat and was around planes pretty frequently that I just don't get how they're so... cool? Now, that's not including stunt planes and sonic jets. There's nothing better than hearing the earth shattering *BOOM* when the plane hits sonic speeds, but the normal airplanes just aren't that impressive to me. The science behind them and how they lift is pretty cool, but the planes? Not so impressive.
Now helicopters and chanooks. Those rock.
Anyway, tangent - the few times I've seen people express exasperations over people not being impressed by the internet, I've thought, "What a moron". It's just a natural result of someone who is accustomed to a thing's existence.

The things that amazez me are likr a roulette wheel. Ususually it's all happenstance. If I see something on TV or hear about something on radio, or read about whatever.... and if it strikes my fancy.. I will temporarily develope a temporary psuedo-obsession with it and study whatever it is until I feel that my brain is as saturated as possible with that subject matter.... then I move on to the next thing... but i do not forget about the previous obsessions... they just kinda get tacked onto my psyche forever... When I was a kid I would get facinated by the most random things; then my elders would find me surrounded by encylopeadias and asking the most profound questions.. most of which they had no answers for.. I remember the first Gulf War, I got all about the history of Iraq and studied independantly about Saddam Hussein and his rise to power...
I don't know what any differentiation is in the choices that I make for things to obsess over... When i was a kid it was ALL science. Later on I got into fantasy stuff.. which got me into studying myths and legends and fables... which then got me into religion and spirituality...
The internet is interesting.. because it will lead me to mini-obsessions... One subject matter will lead me into another which will lead me into another.... and I'll go on for hours.. but I guess that's just normal "surfing".
I also used to play a mind game as a kid where I would sit and try to figure out HOW I came to be thinking about what I was thinking about at that moment... which I think did wonders in helping me expand my awareness of self a bit....I used to wonder if it were possible that all the thoughts in my head were tracable back to when I was born hehe... I would always go back as far as possible.... it was fun.

Bouncing object being my focus of attention and the sections of the wheel being the various subject matters... Yes. ADD like a muv

I do that when I'm high, be it on weed, ecstacy, or shrooms. I get a thought, then try to trace the thought that lead me to it, then the thought that lead me to the previous thought, etc, it's great. Except the stoner you are, the harder it is, and when it's stuff like ecstasy, it's hard to trace it further back than a couple of thoughts.
I also think it's a great mental exercise, since you understand your own thought process a lot better.
It's really bad when i do it in the middle of a conversation.. I'll start thinking "how did we end up talking about this?".. then the person I'm talking to has to snap me out of it

That is quite cool too
Especially when you reach the stage where you can't remember what was the original thing you were trying to trace because you got so lost in the back tracking.
Good times...

Sounds quite a bit like me. The current topic of obsession: Quantum Physics (now that's a fun one) - this one has lasted far longer than most. There are just far too many areas of study within this one. It's like a main topic with a thousand mini topics under. Fun stuff.
