In 2025 things are a bit different
Back around 2007 blogs were more popular than they are now, and email was even more widely used as a tool for communicating information.
My old blogger blog always seemed like it had some actual people looking at the posts, and when I used to press send and receive in Outlook, at least 25% of what came into my inbox seemed to be real email.
In 2025 things are different and I'm probably something of a dinosaur to still be blogging. I have no expectation that many real people are reading my blog posts, and in fact I’m often almost using my blog as a sort of notepad.
I do still think email is a useful tool, and I use it productively nearly every day. But i did eventually ditch Outlook 2003 (One of the last decent programs Microsoft ever released) on it's 20th birthday.
These days I do all my emailing on Protonmail which is nearly immune to spam.
Facebook can be a real time waster, but in the end I decided to quit using all the other social media platforms and only continue to use FB, and despite having already once totally stopped using it for a year or two way back around 2015, these days I rate it as the best social media platform, and think it can be quite useful and entertaining at times.
I want to be worshiped like an angry black man with a huge penis
Is my writing worth anything? I am always a bit uncertain as to whether any of my writing is entertaining or enlightening or is all just complete bollocks. But I still like attempting to change aspects of the world that are messed up, and maybe by helping to expose some things, I might be helping to shift the tides of perception.
We are all pretty small cogs in a huge machine, but we can still make an annoying high pitched noise that makes the machine sound buggered. And sometimes I also like writing about stuff like man boobs and freaks with misshapen arses.
I also want to make sense of things and take notes, because I have a memory like a sieve and whatever I work out today, I’ll probably forget tomorrow. Especially stuff about computers, because geek stuff is so confusing. And meaning of life stuff is confusing too.
Conspiracy stuff is easier because essentially everything we are told is bollocks, but the tricky bit is that this also includes many of the conspiracies.
A pleasing spin off would be if heaps of people read what I wrote and worshiped me like an angry black man with a huge penis. Or something just as popular. So in summary I am a boring forgetful twat with delusions of grandeur who wants to be worshiped. Sort of like most politicians and other bloggers…
Once upon a time, I used to write stuff quite often, and some of it was sort of OK. But in recent years I have been less productive, tending towards excuses, and possessing a lack of ambition to transmit messages.
If I’m some sort of conduit, then this modern computerised set up is ideal for letting messages pass through me, and onto the web were they can be ignored more widely than they ever were ages ago, when there was no Facebook, back when entire paragraphs used to stay in the same locations for years at a time.
Bloggers now lament the decline of their public forums, as they realise they have been replaced by the fleeting flow of trivia that passes for a book of face.
In 2025, the streets really are full of grey cars, everyone really does dress in black clothes, and the popular music really is the most boring sludge ever produced in the past century. But at the same time we all have creative opportunities that are way beyond what any time in history has ever experienced.
The creative bastards from past times probably could have imagined this world and what to do with it in ways that clearly most modern people can’t quite get their heads round. Including me, but sometimes I still have a crack at it to see what happens.
