Sweet hot weekends…

It was a pretty good couple of days for me this go round. Friday night as I was about to go to bed, a group came bounding on my deck wanting me to come out and sit a while and chill, a mistake to make if you want to go to work the next day. The next door neighbor/friend of mine came out with guitar in hand to serenade us a while, which made it more enjoyable and easier for me to stay up even longer. Saturday I planned on doing nothing since my work ethic for the day was blown, I chose to get on a chat site. This is the whole purpose of today’s rant, this chat site of adults. Key word here is “Adults” folks; you have to be over the age of eighteen, some people would assume those at least over that age might have a smidge of sanity in them. In the past six months or so, I’ve never met so many pixel sex crazed individuals. Just as in the non virtual world there are dramas, game playing, cheating and lying, backstabbing and all around gossip and a smattering of stalking. I’m not knocking it, I like to get online with my girlfriend of three years and tease with her, but that doesn’t mean soon as she signs off I’m on the hunt for another menu driven thrill. Ok, that’s well and good, makes you a well rounded person -- I guess, but what I can not grasp in this whole process is the majorities of these individuals on that site are MARRIED and have children. Both on and off the site! If I was to be married and knew my wife may get it on with another man/woman in pixel land, don’t think I wouldn’t come down on her but fast. Then I would be worried that whatever it is I’m not doing making her happy and try to rectify it. To me, that is just cheating, to some it’s a game, nothing more than a super role play. Age doesn’t matter on there; my brother is of the minimum age requirement and women over the age of thirty, foam at the mouth for him. He however doesn’t get it and just like myself can easily get attached to people, taking it all in as serious; while they play out their little fantasy games to sign off and go to bed with their spouse. Are we all that desensitized about life, not only in murders and slaughtering from the internet and Movies/TV that we are the same in our personal relationships? It matters people, there are some out there that still have feelings about others -- Pixilated or Non. Believe it or not, there is someone behind that mouse and keyboard.
