The Internet is huge. I mean, the Internet is probably bigger than Earth, if you really start thinking about it. Heck, the Internet is probably more like the Universe… so amazingly big and unending (well, most of the time) and getting bigger all the time. It’s impossible to see the entire thing. It’s impossible to know where it begins and where it starts. It’s enormous.

At the same time, just like the world we live in… it’s also incredibly small (and if anyone starts singing that Disney song, I’ll cry). No really, hear me out. I was thinking about this earlier. Before the Internet, it was very easy to forget about people. Maybe later, you’ll have a fleeting thought… I wonder what ever happened to What’s-his-face?  You’d shrug, and get on with your day. You were probably busy milking cows or whatever it was we did to amuse ourselves before the Internet.

Now? I wonder what ever happened to What’s-his-face? Well, I’ll Google him.  Oh, he’s got his own website now! Hasn’t been updated in a while… so I’ll go search him on MySpace. Oh look… there he is! Man, he’s gotten cute. Really cute. Wonder if he’d still remember me after — oh, five or six years? 

Boom! Now you’re history’s right up in your face again, which could be good or bad, depending on the situation. No, nothing prompted this, particularly, besides Meli having fun with MySpace searches the other day. It’s just weird how the Internet doesn’t let you forget… both the good and the bad.
