I am still wondering if this social media revolution, is a revolution. Did the French know at the time, when heads were rolling, that they we in a huge revolution? Did they know the impact of their individual actions would collectively reverberate the foundations of the western world for centurys?
So is this revolution, and is there other revolutions being initiated by the social media revolution. I think there is, Tunisia, Egypt and Libya to name but a few. Revolutions within a revolution....whoa!
Anyway saw this and I think it says something. Its technology, (web, video cameras, mobiles, PC's, iPods, iPads, broadband, VOIP, Internet TV, VOD), at its best all playing a part in this revolution. But it is Social media, the neural glue, that has caused the dots to be joined up and really create a total democratization of all aspects of human society. Viva la revolution!

More in quotes
I have to explore 'more', express 'more' and experience 'more'. We all need 'more' and sometimes we think having more is wrong. Its about defining what 'more' is.
It is said the hungry consuming nature of 'more' is the archilles of humans. Building bigger better, growing and consuming all in our path. But unless we want 'more' we are not human. That is fundamental reason why we have evolved and risen above nature with intelligence. It is because of our unending quest for 'more'.
We have to surrender to 'more'. Growth is all part of our existence and here is the distressing part of our life. Our quest for 'more' means we, by mere defination, are doomed to blow ourselves out. If we consume at an ever expanding rate, through simple numbers, we will consume until nothing is left to consume!
But as individual, this should not detract from our own personal growth. Lets not try to solve the worlds problems here but focus on ourselves as individuals. Then I think we humans have a chance. By focusing on keys aspects of our individual growth, we will mature emotionally and hopefully become 'more' in tune with our and earths nature. Some call it 'true consciousness'. Therefore we have, I have, hope for humankind. A big leap, but as with all life I have faith in life, in God, in us.

New Year ....and more navel gazing!
Okay its that time, new Year new promises. And new thoughts..."this time I will..." But before you can sort out what resolution you want to be your mantra, its February and you are back in the the thick of life.
I found this interesting article in Frank which struck a chord though.
The particular quote that struck a chord is how people forget the many roles we play and how we let our work consume us. We in fact have many jobs not one that pays the bills (in my case just pays the bills)
The writer quotes "I’m also a father and husband and know that those are my most important roles — not my role as a writer. I am more than that as well: I run and read and learn and help others and am constantly experimenting with life. I can do things other than my job and be fulfilled."
My 2011 resolution.....be happy and explore life. Be young again or least think like a young one, and get the mojo of life. The "mojo of life", I like that. just thought it. I will end while ahead.
End of log...star date 1st day of February two thousand and eleven.
