Thoughts, Predictions & Advice for the New Year
Try using marketing portmanteaus is everyday speech. This will help you acclimate yourself for the turning over point where we all become automatons within a giant computer network for the sake of consumer research and security analysis. Kinda like in Welt am Draht. Some examples of marketing portmanteaus include: malternative beverage, squeakquel, bromance, and swapportunity.
Barrett Brown is hot.
My mom said I should write a book. I agreed but stated that I couldn’t think of a single topic which I could devote so much writing space to. Then she said, “Why don’t you write a book of essays? You’re certainly opinionated.”
Things are getting so bad that satire is pretty much impossible.
I think I’m going to use the term Cyberpunk Realist in an essay. This does not denote a literary term but rather those people who think that they actually live in some sort of cyberpunk universe, i.e. “hacktivists”. Hey, another marketing portmanteau!

Going for long walks in the woods is really good for you. I know this is obvious but I just wanted to reiterate it. Great for your physical and mental well being.
Apparently you can buy guns online with bitcoins. I also feel that since I learned this it is no longer possible.

Being homosexual or just non-heterosexual is cool but the Gay Identity® will lead you down a road to self destruction. It’s a sick amalgam of consumer culture, self righteous victim complex, parochial bourgeois prejudices, misogyny and childish narcissism. This mindset has caused far more depression and suicides than any number of small town bullies. Also, The Gay Identity is to homosexuality what Zionism is to Jewishness: an authoritarian, politicized straight jacket.
We should all go back the 1990s aesthetically.
That Pochahontas soundtrack CD case contains a Mozart CD, just in case you were wondering.
