Living in an iWorld

It's been over a year since my last post on this forum. Strange how a year feels. So much has changed in my personal life and my professional life. For as much as everything has changed, so much still stays the same...especially when I look at my last post.

I originally thought of making this a political blog but even that has changed. Now, I look at this blog as a forum for expressing inter-connectivity. What do I mean by inter-connectivity? Well, in thinking about the title of this Blog, the iPhone, iPad, iHome, and every other Apple product was designed to bring harmony to the disorganized world of the individual. It's a wonderful marketing ploy to get people to buy a lot more things than they really need. It's worked well - even I have an iPad. But it's not what I mean by inter-connectivity.

No, inter-connectivity is how we approach the very disparate messages, situations, choices, and actions of our daily lives. We are each very different individuals with very different goals and in very different positions on a daily basis, but we each have to unite these different objectives into a coherent whole that we call life. And we have to do it on a daily basis with each action and reaction being predicated on the prior actions and reactions of the days before. That is inter-connectivity.

I want to write about this fabric of life that binds us together even though we have very different opinions on how it binds us together. I want to talk about art, culture, music, and life through the magic of words - through my writing. Some will hate what I have to say, some will love it. Some will agree with me, some will not. In the end I think we can all agree on one thing, and one thing only: I am entitled to my opinion and you are entitled to yours... and that is hopefully enough for civilized discourse in this iWorld.
