Movies is conversation fodder for grade school dating. I am too cynical to enjoy more than a handful of movies which are the same movies everyone else is apparently into.

More like “opiates I dig” LOL AMIRITE?

You were NEVER alone.

Apparently she’s into burning man and I’ve never been there.
She’s also not head-over-heels in love with the fact that I can play an tune or two, this is a winner in my book.

Ska is dead, you stupid son of a bitch.

Science fiction like Terminator, I, Robot, and The Matrix have always stood out as some of the favorites of mine due to escapism. Wouldn’t it just ROCK if all this shit disappeared and didn’t matter anymore? The world’s over due to killer robots and now you don’t have to pay rent?

Ever since high school, I have always become entranced with a mish-mash of topics that can be tied to the concept of Singularity. I made a final project of mine for high school history class consist of interviewing a graduate student that was involved in a cutting-edge yet peon labor project that now seems old: mapping the brain by stimulating it with electrical shocks and tracing the paths the circuit takes.

Since then, I’ve become quite skeptical of technology, and I’m in opposition of getting a new computer until I really do need the computing power. Which right now, I really don’t. I’m adamant about the government leaving people alone about what kind of television they happen to have in their homes. A mandatory HD purchase? Are you kidding me? I suppose you want us to buy Verizon FIOS or Charter Cable while we’re at it?

Today, I read a favorite comedian of mine-John Campbell feature a rant on singularity. During this pessimistic monologue, a character smashes a twenty thousand dollar flat-screen HD something-or-other, functioning as an effigy for technology in general. This portion of the rant that I’ve linked to regards singularity with disdain. The problem, the comic states, is that a third of the world currently functions without electricity. [I think, they’d function just fine without it for at least 30 more generations, if possible.] The rant’s high point, in my opinion:

The top of the world, dreaming of a world that consists only of them and the consequences of their actions, ignoring everyone else. My personal technology-driven eschaton?

In the future, every rich nation in the world that professes itself to be technologically advanced will come together in a massive consciousness trasfer to a single network spanning the globe. The network will only consist of the wealthy, fat nations. Similar to the internet, except dealing with actual minds interacting rather than people sitting at computers.

The network will go live, and crash/freeze in about three hours because the thing was rushed through beta and blue screened itself to hell.

No, actually.

The network will go live, and crash/freeze in about three hours because everyone forwarded stupid chain e-mails and I Can Has Cheezburger pictures to each other.

...because everyone went to check at the same time on what Paris Hilton’s network module was thinking/doing at that particular moment.

...because everyone decided that they’d rather masturbate to networked pornography except that they didn’t have bodies to pleasure anymore.

Either way:

The rest of the world will then function just fine, now that the arrogant ‘top’ ten percent that can afford such luxuries as dying due to something as stupid as selling your soul to a computer did just that.

I am Brenly. That is my real first name. I’ve been playing music since I was 16. I am pushing mid 20s now. It’s getting pathetic at this point. I work simple low wages and live cheap to pay for my music. I will get a better job someday, I promise. I’m currently in Denton, Texas which is a great town for my lifestyle. I have a girlfriend that makes this town worth staying in. I’ll go back to being a student someday. I go to deaf colleges because my parents did, and it’s usually the only colleges that have my major for me.
