walls and cats

come on, guys, who still blogs nowadays? the sycophants and god impersonators are on facebook assailing your wall with pictures of cats and cute babies. your friends are posting youtube vids of music you wished you discovered first, so you withhold clicking the like button. kids are tweeting selfies and mom's old-fashioned apple pie ends up on instagram. where is our promised Mars colony? where is our industrial post-apocalyptic social meltdown? 

i want geekhood to be unfashionable again, so that the rage and dissent and isolationism of entire generations could breathe back down on us and tell us that being a know-it-all and writing poetry in your secret LJ account is a serious affliction. 

damn it all to hell. here's something cool.
