When i was down the street yesterday a group of teens wandered into the florists all looking really upset which kinda made me really worried. Something bad must have happened.
Anyway, I found out later that day that a person the same age as me called Joe Aveling (Avo) was killed lastnight at 2:00am in a car accident. People work fast and there's now a bebo group for him for people to leave comments. I didn't know him personally but reading all of these comments on his group has really made me quite sad. I'm sorry to all of his family and his friends and i hope your all ok, i really do. 16 years old and he's been killed for something that probably wasnt even through any fault of his own. Everyone else in the car lived, how horrible is it that through all the random things in this world he was the one person in that car that had the fatal outcome.
This got me thinking too, i found his bebo account on someone elses friendslist and tried to access it to find that it is set to private. I figured that if nobody knows the password for his account, he's never going to log in again, but his profile is always going to stay the same. While we may move on and once again become part of the earth, our internet footprint is there. To any person who would stumble upon his profile, it would be like he was there five minutes ago. It's really creepy i think.
Heres the more morbid part of this. If i was to die tommorow, through pure bad luck. Nobody online would know. I'd still have my profiles, my accounts and i'd have my passwords. Now i've only ever told one person my password to a few of my accounts. But in all honesty, it varies for my accounts. It made me really worried when i realised it would be really hard for anyone to find out what had happened to me who doesnt live here locally. My laptop has a password only i know, along with my bebo, myspace, JTV,twitter,blog,msn,skype and many more of my accounts.
I would honestly just drop off the face of the internet.
And nobody would know the truth.
Im sorry if this blog is really depressing for people to read but i've honestly had a week full of bad stuff. I've been to a funeral for starters which is the first burial i've ever been to and all i can say is its absolutely horrible.
EDIT:
im going to leave this on a happier note.
I started work yesterday at a local hotel, i made some great friends already and im looking forward to my next time there which is on thursday. I was waiting at a wedding reception and i got sang at by a drunken bride... interesting i know.
So hopefully I'm gonna have money for stuff now!
