So, the idead of blogging seems to be the extenuation of a very long process in human evolution. We've kept journals for millennia, and the bible is a colaborative weblog: it links back unto itself time and again, rewarding those who foresee future trends.
Weblogs are all about the prediction of the future. I write about it first, then it becomes one of those god damned memes: Bingo, I have predicted the future by my own judgement of what is cool.
So here are my current attempts to predict the future of Internet meme journies.
I recently watched Bottom, the live show. Fucking A cool. Absolutelyamazing modernized toilet and slapstick humor. It's Comedia D'e'larte in the modernworld, with two Zanni's.I must say, however, that Ade Edmunson and Rik Mayall are old. Christ, this is bad. I feel older too, god dammit! I mean, I was in short pants whent they were Young Ones, but this is seriously more frightening than the aging of my parents. Which isn't that bad, actually. Am i blind, or are my parents very young, still?
I think my father still avoids it, but I can see my mother sitting in front of the TV, volume low, watching South Park in secret in the living room, hoping my dad, who's upstairs watching Fox News, won't hear her laughter.
I got Battle Royal today at Wonder Con. Overall, a fun Comics convention, but kinda small. I got a press pass, and payed for V, while Paul paid for himself, like a good parent would. I objected once, and he stood firm, so I did not pursue the issue. A god first experience, and the 501st, Vader's Fist was cool to see walking around. The whole team of Star Wars-clothed figures marched up the escalators at the end of their day. It was a double barreled shot blast of Cosplay. That's when everyone dresses up like Bill Cosby and hangs out in a convention center with old, has-ben actors. Seriously, it's not porn. It's just women and men dressing up like their favorite geeky characters.
I saw no Vash the Stampede's. But I did see lots of very small, very expensive, very hand-painted-by-some-poor-bastard- in-china-who-paints-by-hand-every-day-but- only-pays-56$-a-month-for-his-1-bedroomi -apartment Vash the Stampede's, with Kuro Neko Sama.
to the best of my abilities, Kuro Neko Sama means "Little Black Cat," which means "Kyle" in our vocabulary.
So, the only reason I ever read anyone else's blog is to see them mention me. Imagine that! I am that self-centered: but so are you, so don't deny it.
No mentions tonight, as I have consumed an entire 6-pack of Hornsby's hard cidar tonight, thanks to Paul.
