Internet Infatuation
Since my “return” to the blogging community I find it necessary to be as “actively engaged” in other peoples blogs as I hope they will mine in the future. One thing that has always been amidst my experience with the internet is the ability to become easily and often infatuated. I choose this word carefully as I feel infatuation is nothing more than passionate, unintentional inspiration. Dictionary.com says “to inspire or possess with a foolish or unreasoning passion, as of love.” I guess I’m close enough…I’ve decided instead of trying to determine if this behavior is “normal” I’ll just categorize my experiences and see if anyone goes through something similar. Although this could be a very lengthy discussion I’ve summed up my infatuations in 4 basic categories. The Looker, The Thinker, The Artist and The Opposite. Now for a more in depth look:
The Looker: Usually an extremely attractive person by visual standards. My attraction to them is then perpetuated by their uncanny ability to be authentic and original in the areas of fashion, expression and emotional portrayal through photos.
The Thinker: An extremely articulate and usually knowledgeable individual. Some are happy in solitude while others are extremely social. Both are able to travel extensively in the various recesses and reclusive areas of one’s mind with no fear or map for the matter. Their purpose is the journey,never the destination. They ask questions that no one ask and answer with a voice that can belong to many, not just their own. They draw me in with their greatest weapon. Their mind and the inability to use only 10% of it…
The Artist: True to the title they inspire me through the canvas they choose to create upon. Whether it be poetry, paintings, sculptures or interior design they thrive in an atmosphere of creativity and expression.They often also fall into the category of the “Looker” and “Thinker” which gives me 3 times as many reasons to secretly admire from a far.
The Opposite: My biggest foe and the one I usually fall the hardest for. I’m all about experiencing things new and foreign. The”Opposite” is just that to me. They blog about bands I’ve never heard of, places I never thought to explore and points of view I probably would never see. They’re refreshing, exciting and always interesting to “get to know”.
Although I’ve placed my infatuations in categories a person more times than not will fall into more than one. Also to be noted infatuation is not be confused with sexual attraction. Although it is more than feasible to occur, for me infatuation is an androgynous phenomenon. I’ve come across great men and women alike that have contributed to what is currently”me”. The most recent would be @ZZephyrus hands down…
Do any of you relate and if so, how? Tell me about it!
Peace & Love

I love your method of writing. I’m not simply saying that because you mentioned me; though, i am flattered. I like how delicate you are with giving detail to your train of thought.
As Always ..peace and a lot of love

I know what you mean. I get infatuated with certain types of people. Let me think. Um, people who are really good writers/poets, intellectuals that are willing to have long conversations where they challenge my thoughts and I challenge theirs with no bad blood (not easy to find someone who’s willing to debate without getting hot headed!), people with oodles of common sense, and creative people. I think that mostly I love people who are different.
