Once upon a time in the Internet

Once upon a time the internet was a place for technogeeks, assorted sci fi freaks, game nerds, and shut ins of all flavors. Now with all the electronic gizmos getting net wired Joe Public is invading our sanctuary with their gay ass blogs, poorly constructed web pages, and wanna be famous pop culture bullshit. Now all of a sudden the internet is fucking cool. It was cool until these mindless drones began their invasion of mediocrity and dimwittery turning the once pristine electronic wilderness into an online version of their stupid WiFi coffee houses as they swill their frapamochachino berry freezes and display their gay ass VAIO's splattered with all manner of wanna be chic stickers.

Stanislaw Lem's "Robots' Tales" could begin like this: once upon a time on the internet was ...", only the man did not like internet, which is kind of amazing for such futurologist visionary. Anyway, once pure, high and of difficult access, the Internet has become popular, as in "of the people" or simply - invaded by idiots.

Which is cool and fine as everyone should have access to information, but it's not so good when literally everybody can shove their trash down the pipes littering the system. It's not even about MySpace or dating ad pages, it's about millions of wannabe artists, cientists, pundits, conspiracy freaks and general idiots who feel the urge to publish their "work", and now they can, for free and with "user friendly" interfaces of all kinds...

I need a new Google search option: "sift through idiocies". On by default.

Back to the roots

Can we travel back in time? In theory there should be parallel universes, bent space and time, and other post-einsteininc phenomena but going back mere two years to find everything in the same place, yet completely different and better in so many ways is eerie and cool.

Just like 2 years before Sting appeared in Lisbon, older yet better (and he's not the only renewed one), better voice, more of a musician and bass guitar master, back to the future of his Police days. Simple is good - overdone and decorative is used to cover up for momentary shortcomings. Who needs back up vocals, percussions andother stuff when they are back in shape like they used to be.

I know, I know, nothing new, only what the public likes old goldies, but heck he can still play and sing those, and I loved it... the man can sing "Roxanne" for me anytime he wants, not to mention the "Fields of Gold".

So, remember kids - simple is good, good music never gets old, time travel exists and so does love.

Sting? If you're reading- thanks for bringing two castaways back together, took only one message in the bottle about your upcoming concert :)
