Listen to What the Television Says and No One Will Get Hurt

The TV just told me that 1 in 5 relationships now begin through the Internet. It was a match.com commercial. I decided to think about it, and if you don't look at romantic relationships, I can think of perhaps half a dozen people who I communicate with on Facebook whom I have never met. If I have just misused "whom" please tell me. I don't want to look it up. I'm tired of looking up "affect" and "effect" every time I want to use them too. I don't know why I don't remember it. I digress, again. If 1 in 5 relationships start on the Internet as an average, I am seriously below average on this front. Lets look at Facebook alone. I believe that at the moment I have one friend that I have never met in person. A friend of a friend and we both comment on the common friend and such. I guess that could count as some kind of relationship. Out of the 70 some friends I have on Facebook, my Internet relationship ratio is 1 in 70. That's horrible when compared to match.com's claim! I think I need to increase my Internet relationship starting. I doubt that I will do that though. That's just something that I thought of when the commercial was on. Makes me think of how we are twirling away into a Brave New World.
I have also created a koan: if Ajax writes a blog post and Muffin Man doesn't read it, was the post actually ever written? Clear your mind. Zen.
Well, I'm 9 days into my goal of writing everyday in August. I'm also closing in on my 100th post on this here blog. Friday will be the 100th post. We should all go out for ice cream. Since none of you are here, I will go out for ice cream by myself and eat enough for all of you. It will be great. Thanks for reading.
