passing faces on the streets...have i seen you before???...you look familiar...it's amazing to think that there are only 6 degrees of separation that you will know everyone in the world...given the world today i'm not surprised if it's less than that...with everyone hitting the interweb (james' word for internet)...getting onto the facebook revolution...the friendster and myspace bandwagon...everyone will know you intimately...in just a few clicks...how much do you put yourself out there???...how much do you want people to know???...there's a fine line between what is reality and what is fantasy...it poses the scary question of stolen identities...a stolen me...is it comforting that you are also just a few clicks away from getting to know that boy you just met by flicking through his facebook profile???...how do you know how far is too far...and how far is considered stalking...hahaha...everyone has a little stalker in them i think...i tend to refrain from following the crowds and click the CREATE button on such community websites...after receiving a zillion friend requests...i click the button to get them out of my inbox...get caught up in all the hype for a few months...then my interest fades away...my policy is...if i don't know you...you're not a friend...ignore...if i've met you a few times and you're a friend-of-a-friend...ok, maybe...when i walk down the street...when i walk to work...when i walk home...i always wonder who i am going to bump into...will i bump into him???...you turn around in the hope that he is there staring at you...and then you smile...i've been waiting for you...waiting for you in the crowd of many faces...waiting for the crowds to part to see you smiling...i find it amazing how people meet people...you always hear of stories of people meeting their soul mates from across the seas...on the quest for love...where will i meet my soul mate???...have i already met him...hang on...was he that guy i bumped shoulders with the other day crossing the street???...you hear about the stories you read in the newspapers that have the makings of a modern day fairytale...will i get the handsome prince...or the smelly frog...i'd like to believe that i have met my soul mate...the one that makes all your problems go away...the one that will keep you safe...the one that is your soul's mate...the one that you will keep passing on the streets...
