Checking e-mails, making profiles, sending friend requests - I don't think I've done this much online "work" in a long time. I'm preparing my online life as I am preparing to leave the country. For a while now, I have had no need for any sort of "connection" with my friends outside of "chillin" at my place - weeks in a row of people hanging out every night have given me a very satisfied social life and in an instant, this will all pass. I fear as though I will become a "forgotten." It is almost inevitable for me to join the ranks of those that have moved away to college or took jobs in different cities and who, when upon return, have found that the social life they left behind also left with them.
This may not be the case with myself, but even if it is so, I am prepared for the realization that the "bachelor life" cannot be sustained forever (or can it?). As such, the forgotten have found a place where they can continually return to and remind themselves of their former lives - the Internet. Thanks to myspace, facebook, blogging, and e-mails the forgotten can sit at home and troll in the caverns of the Internet stirring up relationships that once were.
Herein this situation lies our hero (myself), sitting at home preparing for his life with his friends as a forgotten Internet troll. He knows not of the future or the actual preservation of his former social life, yet preparing the funeral all the same - feeling deep within the actual consequences of his bachelor colleagues finding themselves in relationships with females. "The bachelor-life is a fun one, but it can't go on forever." he said muffled with a deep sigh.
