"i thought it would be rad to create a visual dialogue via iphone starting in new york. this lasted about 3 days. i learned quickly that taking something current and real and posting it online felt very exploitive. even in a vague indirect way. i trip out on twitter users. besides daily exploitation, being constantly plugged into social media totally kills the incubation period thats necessary for anything special to develop. instead it's just a trickle of shit. and not to mention missing out on real human interaction. ever been at dinner while everyones tweeting? yep. omg i'm totally ripping on twitter. hey i run a blog. i've got no leverage.
i remember taking shots (it was my birthday) and yelling way too loud to an australian dude i'd just met that he's reading the wrong bukowski books. now that's reckless. how embarrassing. maybe they've got it right. human interaction is dead. there's no guilt or hangover in cyber world. reality mostly leaves you sick, disheartened and bummed out. maybe i need to open a twitter account. or perhaps just a lifestyle change.
