old is old and bored is bored
and it's for the next generations to get out of the confusion
and refind their development
whitout losing preshis time in ugly side roads

People have substituted actual cool and fun things with boring and mundane things, and then can't figure out why they are always bored. They can't understand why every video game gets old, but they keep going out and buying them in hopes to fix this, instead of going rock climbing or hiking or something that is always fun to do.

But this is off topic of things being to instant. In a more related note:

I'm not going to pretend to dislike the speed of today's society. It is the result of a changing society. Neither good nor bad. Things happen more rapidly, and perhaps society's impatience has grown with it, but might this not further encourage the research and development of technology that got us here in the first place?

We're at the end of the first decade of a new millennium people! Don't be stuck in the past for some indie-cred or nostalgia!

I do not have bandwidth issues, but I'll tell you, if my coffee is ready BEFORE I arrive, heads will roll.

I found myself doing the whole deliberately audible sigh routine in the supermarket this morning, while waiting to pay for my stuff. It was ridiculous. The guy in front asked a couple of perfectly reasonable questions to the girl on the till and I was ready to rain blows down on his head with my triple-can pack of drainless tuna chunks. And to think, I haven't had a properly busy day since around 1986.

Notice the downturned mouth all these top phychics have. Is it to supress the giggle reflex when he puts one over another gumbie?

Thank you, though I obviously take influence from others both here and elsewhere. It takes a village.
