By the time you start reading these posts social networking will most likely be such a big part of our society that no one will think it is weird to hardly ever see your friends face to face. Mobile data devices and the gradual disconnection from human interaction will be the down fall of mankind. I can only hope that a renaissance will come before you get too engrossed in it and the art of building relationships by shaking hands and looking at the person you are speaking to will once again be the common thread that holds society together.

Months and moods
Since my culmination as an adult my favorite time of year has been fall and my favorite holiday Halloween. That wasn't always the case however. Of course as a child it was summer and Christmas. I mean come on, how could it not be? It's funny how things change for no certain visible reason. Yes, I suppose if I were to look into it, in this case, I would find that it has much to do with the different amenities that seasons and holidays have as you grow up, but who cares. The fact is, they change and it is not always by choice.
For me, months come with preset moods. Of course they can waver and change depending what you are going threw during that period of your life but if you strip away all the outside interference and small issues we deal with, I would bet you a red nickel you would find that you have a "clean slate mood" for certain months as well.
Is finding this and realizing its validity a hinderance to your actual mood itself there by altering your mindset and ruining the entire idea in the first place or is it the opposite, in that you can not realize this concept and embrace its importance until you undertand the futility of attempting to rationally analyze it? .....and now I've gone crosseyed.
Nevermind that. Think about your monthly preset moods and reflect on why they are what they are. Past important events, relationships, movies or music that left ideas and the sense of a season in your head even years after experiencing them for the first time. Ponder the good, but try to focus more the bad, you should find that once you undertand why your head is in a negative place, it is much easier to dismiss it and get through to the next month with minimal injuries.
Here is a bit of scientific back up for my idea.
