Everyone has a story

As I immerse myself further into the possibilities of telling and viewing stories through the Internet I am finding more and more real stories, about real people and real life. Not about Tiger Woods problems or balloon boy but things that that really hit home. By nature media has come to a precipice of disconnect from our day to day lives and only draws us in with drama and tragedy.Don't get me wrong, it has its place and time but I believe there are more worthwhile stories to see and hear and take with us in our daily lives. Here is a website telling just these kinds of stories in short little blurbs called Everyone Forever Now. Visually interesting and speaking volumes on everyday things we don't usually think about or discuss. Take a look at this short on Stoop sitting, something people have done for years. Its a nice comment, if it wasn't so cold today maybe I would go sit on my stoop.
