Digital Memory

Was talking to a friend of mine recently about this blog, and it’s contents.

/log on

Killkell: it is essentially its my brain digitalized

(a)Mark(6): umm, ok

(a)Mark(6): guess backups are easier if you do that

(a)Mark(6): can go out and get ratasred and if you wipe no matter, you can reload all data from a webpage 🙂

(a)Mark(6): sweet

Killkell: hahha… hmmmmm

Killkell: makes me wonder … would i want this stuff put back into my head

Killkell: the whole point is to get it out…..

(a)Mark(6): well thats the beauty of backups, you can selectively reinstall

I have to say, after i had this conversation, i had to think… would i really want all this put back into my head? How much of this blog is “me”? Is what i say here essentially who i am or rather a quest of the potential me? What if i took this thought process and continued to blog in terms of what i would want to be “reinstalled” … I wonder how different it would be.
