I've been catching up on with Digimon Savers on youtube (where you can see all the episodes) the last few days. And I like it, quite a bit. It's silly, in an anime fashion, but I can't think of anything much more clever and fun than an actual digital world. Digimon makes much more sense than pokemon to me. The random occurence of small, cute, mostly harmless monsters appearing world-wide than their parents suddenly trusting them at about age 10 or 12 to explore their home continent with nothing more than a pokeball at handle has always been lacking in realism... to say the least.

Not at all less flamboyant, but more comprehensible in reality, or perhaps only to me, is digimon. Digital Monsters from a fictional digital world unbeknownst to man until the age of computer technology began, I presume theoretically of course. But this digital world is not so far-fetched, not much more than a game, like an MMORPG or something, the biggest catch is that humans and digimon can, and freuqently do, materialize in eachothers worlds. The digiworld seems to me like the "last frontier" since early America's journey west, the next place for the pilgrims of science and technology to "boldly go where no man has gone before." ( if you will :) )

That's what digimon fascinated me with as a kid, I think. You here say that Americans have a natural will to explore ever since the West. Things I'm most fascinated with are technolgy, space, magics, fantasy, deep sea monsters, realms of fantasy games, anything "unknown" or unexplored, but who isn't, it's simple human nature..

When I consider applying to college this year, I'm thinking about a major in robotics, which naturally makes me think of possibilities A.I. has in the future. And shows that I love, like digimon or be it Star Trek, remind me of the advancements in technology, or new frontier, I want to be a part of.

I think that it the best excuse I can come up with for not doing a whole hell of alot for the past two days?
