Artifacts from the internet

Chernobyl 2006. Consider this, some music video from a shitty band called My Chemical Romance got 30 million views. While this video about a real nuclear disaster that was 100 times more powerful than Hiroshima only got 100,000 views. 

you’re not my father

Technology is crazy

I was looking at google maps street level views of Atlanta today. I felt so retarded. I’m all like “how’d dey do dat?” “Is this like some kind of live satellite shit?”

those fucking snorgtee ads

Ok, i fucked up. At some point I clicked on one of those ads for those annoying ass snorgtees. Now through the magic of google ads and double click i’m literally being followed/stalked all around the internets by snorgtee ads.

What are you doing right now

nobody cares. fuck your twitter

Youporn. a grim vision of the future.

A few months ago i read a business article about the rise of youtube style porn sites. The article focused on the emerging leader Youporn. This led me to conduct some research into the site and it’s content. I discovered that yeah it’s pretty much like youtube except this one has vids of people fucking. Youporn is still in beta form, and because of this many of the uploaded vids seem to be from people who are actually already in the porn industry. But a few of the vids seem like they might be homemade type shit, and this set me to thinking about the implications of a youtube for porn and where this is all headed.

We’ve all seen myspace skanks. You know, those girls who post borderline porn pics of themselves on their myspace profile. We’ve all seen the thong booty dance and stripping vids on youtube. (or atleast i have!) We’ve all heard the recent stories about  high school age girls sending naked cell phone pics to their boyfriends of the moment. And of course not a month goes by with out another stupid fucking celebrity sex tape.

So put it all together, do the math. Youporn is the next piece of the devolution puzzle, the next plateau of social networking. The ultimate look at me platform. It’s only a matter of time before all the myspace skanks and youtube wanna be stars will make the jump to Youporn and post fuck vids. Hell everyone has got a built in video camera on their computer nowadays, and sex tapes are no longer taboo. Not that i have any problem with that. Porn is great, sex is great, homemade porn is even better! I say lets fucking go there, lets take this thing as far as it can possibly go. And to quote the great poet James Douglas Morrison, “I tell you this, I’m gonna get my kicks before the whole shit house goes up in flames”.

Long live Youporn

The internet making me retarded.

I went two months without home internets. It was difficult at first, but I survived, adapted, and evolved! I began to read more, I dusted off the old acoustic guitar. I had quiet times, I wrote poetry.

 

I was in an interesting place, psychologically speaking…

 

Unfortunately that all ended last thursday when I paid my outstanding balance and got my home internet access turned back on. I can say with all honesty, I think I am a better human-being without internet access. There is something to be said for being able to have cable and internet, and then choosing not to have cable and internet. I’ve completely divorced myself of cable. Maybe it’s time to do the same with home internet.

 

Frankly, I liked being unplugged from 24/7 news, pop culture bullshit, and endless commercial bombardment.
