have not been posting for a little while. the reason has been life. i have been living it and the internet is just a medium that is not as important a part of life that some people would have you believe.
i finished up my contract, i went to japan, i came back to watch the world cup and i have been enjoying summer and a month off from work. i went to nottingham and saw my friend in the army who got back from the falklands and i went to see nine inch nails there as well.
it kind of dawned on me whilst i was at the concert. at some point i would usually get my phone out and take a picture and upload it to facebook, because i have a couple of friends that are fans of NIN and might be interested. upon thinking about it a little more, i realised there was no need to take pics and post them because the 2 people that would be most interested in the pictures were with me at the concert, so what is the point?.
i did post up pics of japan when i was there because i know people that might be interested in seeing them, and had my friends gone to japan, i would definitely want to see pics just because i am interested in what it looks like. there was not a selfie amongst them.
on the flip side, one of the guys i used to work with posted on facebook 7 times in yesterday during a trip he made to brighton with his wife, to pick up a kitten. 7 mother fucking times in one day. the only people commenting on the pics were his wife, who he was with, and his mum. if you want to talk to your mum, pick up the phone and if you want to talk to your wife, then do it, instead of having a conversation on facebook with someone who is sitting beside you. what the fuck!!?. also, you are posting tones of pictures of kittens. you are grown man and married, not a 8 year old girl. man up.
from the title, the first part of the decline is about peoples need to write shit on the internet. the second is that i just read that Transformers 4 is the highest grossing film of the year so far. is this why jesus died for on the cross?. is this what the Nazi's were defeated for?. was this what the English civil wars were fought for in the 17th century?. so that in 2014 the highest grossing film of the year is trans-fucking-formers, part 4!!!!.
this is arcade fire. it will not make everything right again, but its a start.
