These things

Day (2/365):
Thought: Feeling dehydrated I guess, drank a bit last night, woke up early and have accomplished nothing in the 4 hours since leaving bed. I'm looking at reddit and c.e.s. coverage at the moment. Every techblog and many non tech sites have deceneded on this trade show in the dessert to see what all of the big companies want to release this year. Reading about all the new consumer tech that would available within the coming year used to be very exciting to me. When I was a stupid teenager seeing this stuff made me think 'you know, the future may not be now but this stuff shows me how close it's getting and can be had RIGHT NOW!'. That excitement about short lived, short sighted consumer tech has passed much like my interest in a lot of things.
I have several reddit pages open in a window next to all of this gadget porn looking at discussion about c.e.s., gaming, photography, and all the other things you can find on the internet to talk about. I don't feel anymore enthused about that stuff either.At this point, in the place I am in and have been for several years now all these things I see seem inconsequetial. Maybe i'm jaded, maybe it's the meds, maybe I'm depressed (though I doubt it's some sort of serotonin imbalance), maybe it's because all these things I see are so far removed from my life and so far out of reach.
