Desk

So my room is slowly coming together. Well, at least my desk is. I've also found some awesome snacks to leave at my desk too: Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and flavoured croutons. Yeah I know, kinda random, but still very tasty. And you what, I probably wouldn't have known about the croutons if not for the internet. Everyday I'm more and more amazed by the internet. Many people say that the internet is like a giant library of information, but I think it's more than that. There are whole communities that thrive within the internet. A couple of months ago, I watched a youtube video by a guy named Dan Brown (not the author). He basically talked about the power of communities and the internet. At first I was a little weirded out, but over time I've come to see that he was right all along. I'm not good at explaining these kinds of things cause I just tend to ramble after a while lol. Instead, I'll just say this: the internet needs to be taken a lot more seriously. I've been on Reddit a lot these past few days, and I'm just so amazed. The fact that the Reddit community can function off of just ones and zeroes online is incredible. My only fear is whether of not I'l ever too disappointed in real life communities and only be able to live off the internet. I'm highly doubtful it'll ever happen to me, but I'm sure it has to some people around the world.
