    Tumblr is a nonsensical concept.

    Not only does the little community’s center focus on external forces, their popularity also brings to question of copyright, privacy and originality in the “creative” space on the interwebs. Assigning intrinsically tangible value and human emotions to multifaceted pixels on an electronic screen.. I’m already beginning to mature these inklings of worrisome ‘portents of doom, concerns and unhealthy addictions to a virtual lifestyle online.

    It’s a difficult meshing of minds, adapting once again of this physical flesh o’mine as an avatar of the third dimensional world (and as because really, this human meat-ridden and decaying form is only an extension of the brain and it’s neural connections), while my mind travels into wormholes and destinations existing on a screen, an unearthly existence within the mind…

    Yet, history has proven that all forms of the humanities and arts aspires to this ideal: cultivating the realism of the non-real. Philosophers and psychologists have been debating this concept for centuries. Do yourself a favor and read a freshman-level textbook on the subject.

    The community members from Tumblr have subdomains featuring background music, humorous gif-clips from Dr. Who episodes, vid-podcasts and other shared information from other areas of the internet to create a revised environment.. a place that is a primitive, reduced version of our reality outside of the computer screen. Is the sum of our reality but an limited amalgamation of the five sensory experiences? Do we really reason our surrounding environment, ignoring stimuli or creating the appearance of that which does not exist?

    I don’t know what’s going to happen next. I really don’t.

    The imagination of the human mind is an unlimited and fertile resource of information.. yet also predictable, patterns of survival and repetitions of evolution. However, scholars still question our misbehavior of misfired neural nodes, as a nod to the fluidity of unpredictability and ingenuity of humanity’s history of noted geniuses.’

    I’ll leave you with this anecdote that flashed into the forefront of my memory while typing away at this post, that as a wiseman once said, “the world has always been falling apart, so relax.”

    Also, pretty photos! :)
