Truth is an impossible thing to write. It’s barely, if at all, even something that we can know. Truth can really only be experienced, and not understood.

The Internet is Down

The Internet is down. Damn. What was it we did before the Internet? I could listen to some music, I guess. Wait, no. All my music files are streamed from the cloud. Well, there’s always some tv. Oops, out of luck again. Remember bragging to all your friends about how you were a “cable cutter”? Living life free of the cable tv conglomerates? Finding all your tv satisfaction through streamed content via Netflix and Hulu? Yeah, I remember that, too, and now our hubris has come back to bite us.

So no tv, no music, what else? A board game? Nope, all the games we play now are through apps on the phone linked to other players all over the globe through…the Internet. Sigh.

So finally I settle on writing down my frustrations of being suddenly ripped from present day and thrown back to 1994, without even the warm tones of a dialup modem to comfort me. If ever I get Internet again, I’ll post this to a website, where it will be lost amongst the billions of other articles forced onto the web every day. For now, though, I’ll enjoy having the insight all to myself. A readership of one. But since I’m the only one in the house right now, I think this counts as complete market saturation. So I’ve got that going for me.

Where is the cure for the common cold???

Sitting here stuffy-headed, wishing my nose was no longer attached to the rest of me, I have to wonder where the cure for the common cold is. And flying cars. I’m pretty sure I was promised flying cars by now.
