Sociologist Irving Goffman is discussed in a recent podcast of CBC's ideas. He suggests that the shakesperian quote "all the worlds a stage and all the men and women merely players" is more than a clever turn of words. But more so a reference to the way we present ourselves in different situations.
For example, the way I act and speak and the stories I choose to share about my experience are different around my conservative grandparents, then they would be around my close friends.
There are accepted roles we choose to follow for different social interactions. We choose to be more outgoing or reserved depending on the situation. If I am approaching someone for advice i choose to be more attentive and less demonstrative. If I am in a position of power I need to be decisive and delegate. My fragile side is hidden in some situations where I need to give certain impressions.

Now, In our time and with the available technology ie. Facebook, myspace SecondLife Blogs etc. the possibility for crafting online identities different from our real self is possible.
Many would draw the conclusion that this is just a natural extension of the role's we have accepted in our social interaction. the way I act on SecondLife is different from my normal actions. But not in any larger way than the way I act changes when Going through a chekout at the supermarket. We accept these changes naturally as one of the parts we play.

With the roles being extended into digital reality we are able to have multiple online personalities expressing our different facets. Not necessarily known to others that they are all connected. Very different sides of people can be expressed.
Does this make it harder or easier to be an accountable person, or person of Faith?

When necessary, Chrisian sides of personality can be shown, and with the intrinsic anonimity of online interaction and control of reaction times and tone, people can mediate the impressions they leave on others with much more dexterity than in real life.

if different online personalities are linked to the same source, different facets can be linked together.
DOES THIS FORCE A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF ACCOUNTABILITY?
or
DOES THIS ALLOW FOR A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF PIOUSNESS??

Does this allow people to present themselves as they always have one way here and another way there.
Or does this blurring between public and private life force a sense of constant accountability?

Thoughts discussion questions?

she's gone

Tue, 10 Jul 2007 20:24:52 GMT

my gosh. my sarah has left me.

off to australia with her. and alas I am all alone. She should arrive in a day.
So once I know she's there safe everything will be good. Other than that it's just distracting myself until I know she's okay. 125 days until I leave.

Sweet deals.

also who might go to lollapalooza.. This guy

I like a Well manicured Lawn

Mon, 14 May 2007 05:00:51 GMT

So my house looks really beautiful at night now, blossoming apple tree in front porch swing in the back yard. Makes one want to retire. Work isn't too much, but one does wish they didn't do so much of it.

Working 2 jobs, good times. Summer will be very exciting at kelseys and joeys, but I can't wait until it is over almost. I leave for australia on november 12. it's 6 months away. Not that i'm counting. ( i am)

other countdowns include 2 months until sarah leaves for tasmania and 2 months minus a week until folk fest.
Also as a side note *wink my brother gets married in 2 weeks (may 26) That is scary. I need to write a speech.
Luckily the stag in next sunday, ample time to recover from getting pelted at airsoft.

Umm I wish that I had more late night drive, I want to stay up late outside and sleep on the lawn. I want to write in a journal. I want to write music at 2 in the morning.
I'm uselessly bound to a work regime right now, it's like all these things I want are not happening. I want to be irresponsible and blow a bunch of money. Eck. frustrating as it is, I don't feel like ruining my life. Hmmmm.

enjoy life while your young they say. I wish I hadn't grown up sometimes.

Tell them I say hi.

Hey allison chek this out about facebook

http://www.albumoftheday.com/facebook/

anyone else interested..

freaks me out.. Facebook = bad news

frustration high in a changing paradigm

Thu, 01 Mar 2007 04:22:09 GMT

Yo.

things are current, moving. A moving current.
Swift into a new wave I see myself in the future being carried in a new direction.
Everything is taking shape the outline is becoming clear through the fog. Implement new plans, invision your own image.
I can syphon the ideas to my head, Will they be absorbed or wash away. chisle a new image.

I think more.
I listen more
I build more

If only I see Sarah more. Boo. ( alas school pressure pulls us apart)

Developing view will break forth in suprising form.

thankyou for your support.

I believe i can do anything i put my mind to.

No Shit.! I really do.
I honestly believe that if i went all in, I could be a kitchen leader at Joey's in 2 years.
Or i could be a succsesful producer and musical engineer.
I believe I can buy a house and be financially sound.

I believe this. I believe I can, because I work hard for the things I want.

The problem is right now I dont' know where i want to be in 2 years. I have notions I have dreams.
But for me to succeed in a way for me to be happy with what i've done I have to go all in full on take control of my surrounding situation.

you know it's really all about that. not maintaining status quo. but affecting everything and everyone around you. i believe that at my current job ( at kelseys) i've not only changed the way the food goes out, but the way management deals with the kitchen, the way staff treat eachother and I think that i've personally affected my GM so that he doesn't stress out as much.

If I can do that just by being who I am and working my hardest as much as I can then think of the possibilities.

I guess things are going my way right now. I got a raise at both my jobs this week, I feel on top of the world. But at the same time, I am preparing to leave for 2 months in november, and then come back and but a house. This is my official plan. I want to own a house for my 22nd birthday.

stressing about money a lot these days. can't wait till pay day so i can abolish most of my visa bill. I think the rest of the month i'll have to be a hermit or something. plus i have to pay for my computer .. Yipes.

buying scotch at the hotel fort gary isn't cheap. neither is a coffee and baileys. hung out with chris and jackie on sunday night and ended up there. average drink cost 8 dollars, awesome company and not being allowed to wear a hat. priceless.

rode the glass elevator and jackie signed a wedding guestbook.. Slick. kinda wish photos had been a part of this excursion.

tonight is sushi with sarah. and general slacking about.

ohh.. in other news. i start my recording lessons at 441 studios on the 11th. shortly after my band will release a new song. maybe it will sound incredible. bets say yes.

The moment you all waited for

Thu, 30 Mar 2006 17:23:56 GMT

Jeremy does the random vocal song deal

Ipod in hand i embark

~~1. Hello is there anybody In there ?~~

2. It's so releiving now that your leaving as soon as you get paid

3. frayed laces rake lines onto the tile I'll circle this four walled room but my fate's one step ahead

4. Seek me, call me I'll be waiting

~~5. Industry is pushing onward making progress while the world vision children starve to death~~

6. Faint white figures paint my sleep please don't tell my secrets keep them hidden

7. take everything left from all to blame

8. They move too fast to be words behind your teeth The give and go of most of your memories

9. Cruel Akron bloody bastard I now spit on you You can turn my bones to black ash but I'll move the moon

~~10. I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks Who remembers your face~~

11. The talk it got so loud the sounds cut out well that's when i'd had enough

12. North to South Empty Running on Bravado

~~13. Who's in a bunker? Who's in a bunker? Women and children first And the children first~~

~~14. i tried to be perfect but nothing was worth it i don't believe it makes me real~~

15. Come on, come on, you think you drive me crazy well.

16. Wait until it fades to black Ride into the sunset would i lie to you?

17. so look in my eyes what will you leave behind once you've gone

18. Well, I’ve been to hastings and I’ve been to brighton I’ve been to eastbourne too

~~19. my cock is much bigger than yours my cock goes right down to the floor~~

~~20. when you've gone about things all wrong bury them here, with the lifetime you would never regret~~

4 years

Wed, 22 Mar 2006 22:36:05 GMT

Wow sweet long time.. 4 years me and sarah.. as of the 14th

but we just celebrated last night.. t'was as expected a splendid affair. went to star grill and enjoyed delicious food hung out gifted eachother and enjoyed company..

Sarah is my favorite girl. and i'm going to say the best one of the bunch.. sorry all y'other gals .. she's the best.

anyways.. she got me a bitchen pocketwatch with a bottle opener on it.. so watch out at all youz partays..

every listen to a cd you've owned for the first time.. like months after you got it??

walk with your blues,

Thu, 16 Mar 2006 20:01:17 GMT

guess who called? right... you never call me back... and neither do you , you should be replaced.
fuck it.

anyways. time is standing still as always and coffee seems to keep me alive, that and my new regulated sleeping schedule allows for that grade 10 energy level that dissapeared as soon as grade 11 arrived.. he's back.. crazy@!@! i can't sit still anymore, everything is in fast forward motion stop-ed-ness.

truely i miss doing many things, not for lack of opportunity but for lack or articulation,

I had my first guitar lesson yesterday. i have to work on my technique i'm more pumped than every, someone is going to be dissapointed if i don't succeed. I need mentors, i need inspiration.. i need to write some F'n melodies and get some F'n lyrics.. someone write me a fucking poem please. write me a monologue.
email me an analasis of home some song explains nature, and i'll set it too a trance beat in oakenfoldish proportions time travler.

stagnant hyperactivity. what the fuck do i want to talk about. everything is soo smooth, i need some drama. stir the pot. i should endure some hardship for this cooshyness.

why would you wish that upon yourself. empathy. to i want to feel what you do? NO.. i have sympathy is taht enough.

tell me tell me tell me why you never want what you know what you want where you need.
tell me tell me tell me where you go when you see where you go to be free'd
