Online Account Problems

It has become very apparent to me that whoever was/ is hacking into my online accounts wasnt just reading e-mails. Contact information in my online address books and e-mail addresses on my instant messenger accounts have been altered. I am not sure exactly when this started and I am not sure how to get in touch with a lot of my friends at the moment. If you have tried to contact me but havent been able to, I can be reached at adshanno@gmail.com. I dont use that e-mail address the most but I check it relatively frequently. If I dont respond it is probably because of the problems that I have been having with my accounts...I am working on fixing the problem. You can always attempt to contact me at the Southfield number where i have been reachable for the last ten years (Even though I havent generally been here)...

When I realized what has been happening with my account, i wasn't quite sure how to feel about it. Its not really something to be impressed by as much as it is a crossing of the line that I only fathom because it has occured. While most people are hesitant to litter, someone has no inhibitions about hacking into my accounts and has already built upon that decison by altering information. To the best of my knowledge, this can only be done administratively: Its more an issue of being in a position to steal someone's password than having a lot of "know-how."

Social Vacuums...

I realize that I rarely blog anything that happened very recently. My life is such that I wouldn't blog much of what happens until years later. This is because of two reasons 1) My life is so exciting at that moment that I wouldn't mention it or 2) My life is so boring at that moment that it doesn't seem worth blogging at all...

We end up in Social Vacuums a lot in life. By Social Vacuums I mean that everyone is similarly situated enough that, from a Social standpoint, the only thing that matters in the characteristics that you ring to the table. Everyone is similarly situated enough that you are free to make certain assumption about people just based on the fact that they are there. To the extent that certain assumptions might be wrong about certain people its not usually something that matters.

It seems like what a person assumes about a person in a Social Vacuum is usually about true of about 80% of the people. Like someone who is outside of the realm of what you would assume exists, but it is so unlikely that you don't walk around thinking about it. I feel that, for better or for worst, I encounter the 20% fairly often in life. Occasionally its an issue that is very important and obviously would matter. I constantly find myself saying, "I can't believe that they didn't tell me that..."
