can i say that wikipedia has taken over my life? the hypertexting is endless. last week, someone told me that mormons wear secret undergarments under their clothes, even during sex. in my mind, i'm picturing it looks like some kind of chastity suit or something. and i'm really curious to know more! so there i am on wikipedia, my source for all pop culture knowledge, to learn more about the secret life of mormon undergarments. so i read about mormonism, about their garments, about how they engage in a special ceremony to wear them, about how they're burned when thrown away, about how they have crotch holes, and more and more. but, in exploring the world of mormon undergarments, i also ended up reading about the amish, the scientologists, and cults. while reading about cults, i was thus reminded of my home in FW, home to many cultish colonies. home to the infamous david koresh, robert tilton, the trinity network, kenneth copeland. what a crazy place to grow up!
hypertexting creates unbelievably long chains of thought, sometimes leaving me to wonder what i looked up in the first place. how in the world did i get from mormon undergarmets to david koresh in one thought? it's like playing six degrees of separation in your mind.
1. mormon undergarments
2. amish
3. scientology
4. cults
5. david koresh
soon i shall like to learn how to hypertext, add images and video to my blog, to connect it all together in the way i experienced it.

your posting made me think how similar your hyperlink experience is to a conversation with a good friend...you end up wondering where you started off and how in the world you got to the discussion of such-and-such-tangent topic...it's funny because for the longest time i felt like hansel and gretel, making sure i knew from which direction i came, b/c i was very nervous about not being able to get back
I love it! You crack me up! What a connection. We should create new six degree games.
