the begining

I am not sure where this begins or ends..

suppose it is difficult to ever go back and think when things began. Suppose it is important to start somewhere? Who am i, isn't this the question that we all ask? something that we have been caught up with through the ages. mine is a lot simpler :-) I am an Entomologist (yes go and search the word on dictionary.com), but I it no longer. I have become something else, moving from the ecology of life to the ecology of data. I was fascinated by the ecology and interactions of living things only to realize that I had become redundant, not neccesarily redundant in the classical sense. But I had become redundant, my life had almost started moving into a redundant niche. My life had some other inherent phylogenetic sic! inertia. I landed up in the ecology of data. Soemthing I had never ever considered at an early age. I had always perceived my life to be going in a specific direction, only to be driven nearly into extinction by the forcesof society and lifes general ramblings.

Do I miss my old life, I am not sure we can ever say we had different lives, our life is a continium of events and journeys, I suppose this is all part of the secret :-), you will figure this one out later. How much of lives is practical and how much is esoteric is difficult to seperate. what si the value we get out of our living in teh way we know it.

but enough of that inane rambling on my life, i never though i would be trying to put my self at the centre of your universes. No this is only my view on what i perceive on what si going on around us. I allways perceived my self sitting on the rainbow warrior or spiking rainforrest trees in the forests of Norht america or south America or even central africa, only to realize that what drives the forces of our society cannot be simplified into retaliatory actions such as these. Our Societies or cultures have to be chanegd from somewhere else. Why we destroy everythign around us as humans? can we simply change the world as we know it singly as individuals or not. I have my doubts if we can, but I suppose it is a very good strating point.

I do suppose that we do have to start somewhere and the individual within a society does have the power to change things, how and to what effect I am not sure. I feel the hidiously fast anture of life currently does not allow us to actually make an impact, news is fed to us a second by second basis, we get so much information, my or some other folks attempt to change society from the ground up gets swamped in the general milleu of media within the flash of an eye, and there is nothing sensational about what I want to say. Yes you may argue that i am rambling, yes I am. the nature of my ramblings do tend to be extremely stream of conscious type of crap.. ya suppose so. But I hope that this may spark some thought on your lives.
