Live Life

Connectivity. Is that not what the internet was designed for? Connection of everyones computer to one another, the ability to transfer data seemingly in an instant. The internet was made to connect computers for easier transfer of data. It seems fitting that a generation later its used to now connect different applications and sites together. To me this is what the internet is all about, a vast profile and vault of information. This live nation, the upcoming constant connection doesnt bother me. If it does bother you, there are more than likely settings that can lower how much is revealed. Everything you do online has had vulnerability of being monitored if someone wanted to do it bad enough anyways. As long as you have nothing to hide and nothing to be ashamed of, and use the web in a smart manner, then you should have no problem.

Hero Vs Epic Hero Vs Beowulf

In modern day culture, our heroes seem to be more personal, whether its your parent(s), who raised you and taught you many things that will help you along in this world, or an armed forces veteran, who gave up so much to try and protect this life we've grown accustomed to. Maybe back in the Dark Ages and any time where stories like this were written the heroes may have been the same kind of breed, protectors of their people, and those who taught them how to grow.

To me, an Epic Hero seems more made up than truthful, many of our legends and folktales drew influence from warriors and events of their time. An Epic Hero seems like an exagerated version of the ones we know. Beowulf, to me, definitely seems like an epic hero; battling sea monsters, slaying trolls, and having the strength of many men. Maybe Beowulf drew influence from a warrior of it's time, but I know that when I think of Beowulf, I think of epic battles, monsters, and yes, perfectly quaffed hair.
