Again it really can't get much closer! I think it came down to not getting the @IFC tag for her pool and I couldn't get a Mayan Calendar photo! So we're separated by about 2 points I believe.
She just posted her power up spot a little while ago but I'm not looking!!
I screwed up in my last Power Up spot and forgot to bring an @IFC paper along with me which is my own fault! Ah well too late now.
So I was sitting here this morning contemplating what to do for my power spot and the beach and somewhere around here just didn't feel right. Then sitting here on my computer a lightbulb went off and realized my power spot or one of my power spots has been right in front of my eyes this whole time.
ENTRY
Not the quality of the picture but the meaning behind it. IFC-STEEMIT-INTERNET-LAPTOP!!! Honestly everyone looks at technology in a negative way and how we spend to much time on it etc..we waste our lives and it takes year from our lives. I honestly used to think like that and wish I was born at a different time because its sad what technology is doing to us.
THE CHANGE / SHIFT IN MINDSET
I mean of course technology and all this can be harmful, but instead of looking at it that way why not take advantage of it and use it to your advantage.
Technology has allowed me to make a new group of friends and try things I'd never would have done otherwise. Never in my life would I have wrote about a little character travelling to Cryptopia or running around the city doing scavenger hunts. IFC has opened me up to that and even though the journey may end here for this season or it may continue I've definitely opened myself up to more things and actually realized some stuff along the way! So regardless of the outcome I'm totally happy with how things have panned out. That I thank to living in a time where I can take my little macbook pro thats lasted me 10 years around the world and keep in touch with all of them almost whenever I want.
Of course it's not just IFC and if I look at the bigger picture it's a lot more then that. I hope one day I'll be able to travel the world and hopefully teach from my computer. It'll allow me to be free in ways that wouldn't have been possible 10-15 years ago.
I think it's time to take advantage of what we've been given and put it to good use. I'm thankful for the people I've met online and to be honest I talk more to a lot of those people then I do with lots of my close friends from back home.
FINAL LITTLE SPEACH
So it may just be a little computer but at the end of the day it's a little computer that wherever it's sitting it's my POWER SPOT! Travelling and living abroad can be difficult at times but being able to connect with real or virtual friends, listen to music or watch a movie this piece of technology that sometimes we tend to bash truly makes my life a lot better! I'm not ashamed to say it either because it's the truth and I'm totally fine with it. It helps me in more ways then I could ever imagine. We may be addicted to the black screen but for me everything's in moderation and understanding yourself.
I see the benefits of technology and I try my best to use it the best way I can which benefits my life and me as a person! :)
Thanks for everything @IFC Family.
Love Dom
