get dropped like a sack of potatoes.
it was the last of hl&p. while there are anecdotal pictures up on flickr of the outing,
this is the whole monkey. from start to finish witness some raw boomage.

i have noticed lately that the web is starting to become some peoples dirty secret. so a lot of people will pull back and not use a computer or the web or blogs or email to sort of diminish their online presence as a knee jerk solution to something. in fact i read somewhere that a large percentage of the blogs to date will be nixed in the coming year as people realize they dont really give a shit about posting things online and probably also due to the fact that they were losers to begin with and blogging about their loserdom was too depressing. i think its interesting. mainly because although i sometimes am not social on the internet i am constantly utilizing it and my v persona is usually intact. in other words i have never seen it as a bad thing to immediately consult wikipedia google elsevier medline or anything else for that matter that gets me information i need. that includes people i know. it also means i doubt i will stop blogging or flicking or emailing simply because people stop replying. it only makes sense. i may change the mode but the impetus will still be intact. when i see other people who are online quite a bit as well who all but kill their online persona off briefly i wonder what prompts them to do that. i have recently noted that given the nearly infinite photo storage on flickr that my memory has become strongly associative with events that i post online, including the accompanying meta data. so if i was to simply eliminate that i guess my brain would adapt but it would be like working out a lot and feeling good about it and then deciding time to go back to eating a shitload of fast food and pork all the time. not really a move forward. i dont really know what prompted this. could be plastikman in the background.
children of men was a beautiful movie. why? no. it wasnt a great story. no. did you see it? yes. i liked the burger. i liked the fries. how callous. did i see the movie? yes. i saw the movie. i saw only the actors. fuck the story. why? because its all a payoff now. the girl didnt die. the guy didnt die. the baby didnt die. reality is no prediction, no judgement, no semantic. reality is judging for yourself. humanity dies with you. im tired of masquerading. start assuming you. pretend it counts. the reality is. now counts. now is counts. now is i dont know the now.
