Does a journal post have to tell you what I’ve been doing? I have noticed that almost every post in my friends list from peoples personal journals is normally either a musing from their daily life with some small explanation or a full-on detailed post with everything they have been doing over the past couple of weeks since they last tended to their journals.

I note that a much higher proportion of my entries don’t fit into either of those main categories. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t pretend to be anything as glamorous as a “trend setter” etc but it does strike me that this is different. So are we generally more interested in what’s going on in peoples lives or do we care more what they think? Well the general populous’ lust for celebrity gossip etc seems to suggest the former to me. This to me seems wrong, like we are focusing on things that matter less. Having said that, is what they are actually upto of greater significance to us than what they think? I wonder if really we are just brainwashed by “intelligence society” to think that we should care more what other think. After all, which is more likely to influence you more, someone’s thoughts or their actions? As much as I think I should be saying thoughts I doubt this is the case.

On the subject of othe people and their actions etc. Have you ever just stared at a crowd of people and then picked out a few people and watched them intently? Who needs the internet… I have enough entertainment right here on the station platform…
