Final Destination

He used to dance
He used to be
He used to laugh
He used to be happy
now he smiles them all away

Never knew love could
turn to hatred so suddenly
never knew how sad he was
till someone actually told him

Late at night
things he thought
He'd left behind
haunt his mind

Yesterday on a train
on his way to final destination
he never imagined
it would go this far
he never gave up
he never stopped
he was the statue
which standed for love
but now it was time
to derail
for once and for all

Six Degrees of Separation

As everybody close enough to me knows is that I love to know something about just about anything. So as u can guess....once I had heard this "Six Degrees of Separation" term, I just had to know about it.
So I got myself surfing around and found out that it stands for a scientific theory about interconnectedness of human beings and has been derived from an expriment conducted by Stanley Millgram in the 1960's.
It simply shows that through a maze of relationships any two random individuals can be linked to each other by an average length of pad of about 6 people.
Thus having an interconnected world in which any node can reach any other node in a chain which averages about 6 links.
A pretty amazing theory as we now even see the internet growing in the same manner. Sites like www.hyves.nl and www.myspace.com are great ways of seeing the theory act in practice. Although myspace lacks the functionality, on the hyves website you can actually see through whom you are connected to each other node. This is ofcourse a very good way of testing the theory as an amature.
