I'm something in between.

No, not like that Britney Spears song.

I cherish old world Romanticisms, but I also value new world technologies - This is where I fall somewhere in between. I enjoy checking my e-mail, but I LOVE receiving postcards, cards, letters and even junk mail in the rare occasion. It's nice to know that in this very fast paced world, you can still receive something real.

Have you every tried ripping up a letter? Satisfying, right? Have you also tried deleting an email? 'Click'. I mean, it's not just about expressing your anger towards an inanimate object, it's about having real expressions. My life cannot be reduced to emoticons, acronyms and microblogs.

Anyway, it's a random thought I don't see the value in finishing. The bottomline is that embrace the new but don't forget the old :) That's all.

deleting an email is not satisfying at all!!! nor is drowning your blackberry!

yet somehow the opposite is true too...its way too easy to send an email you SHOULDN'T and regret...and sometimes things that should be left unsaid, would be left unsaid, if we only took the time to get out a pen and pad of paper (and let our emoticons cool off)
