These Could Be The Best Days Of Our Lives

Yo. So after advice from one or two amigos i've got one of these blog thingymagiggys (wow that makes me sound really old :s). Anyway, a few of these friends have got blogs recently, all for different purposes. I'm not really sure what this one will be to be honest. Probably just a bit of rambling about nothing. Or whatever pops onto my brainbox :). So, lately ive been getting interested in all this politics malarkey. And by 'getting interested in' i mean watching repeats of Have I Got News For You and Mock The Week :P. Frankie Boyle is a legend. To quote:

"Do you think George Bush actually knows who Gordon Brown is? He probably just thinks Tony Blair's put on weight and had a fucking stroke."

True.

In 20 years time people of our generation will be saying 'Oh yeah Mock The Week! Do you remember Frankie Boyle? He was so funny!' And then we'll be like 'Oh he was so politically incorrect! Everything is average nowadays'. But this will be a time when we also say things like 'Remember when people crowded round televisions and watched screens, rather than having images implanted directly into their brains?' T'will be cool. Actually that won't happen in our lifetimes. Think about that 2001: A Space Odyssey film. They thought in 1968 that by the time we reach 2001 we'd all live in space and sleep in hibernation capsules. But we aren't. Infact we're a long way from that. I reckon that in the future all cars will run on tracks, and when you get in you just enter where you want to go on a screen, like a gps, and it takes you there. In people's homes, everything will be touch screen. Everything will be powered by light, and everything will be wireless. And everything is controlled by PDAs. And i think it will take 20 years until every new home has this. But thats probably won't happen will it? We'll either be waroftheworldsed or iamlegended before then. Sigh. And Bye :)

You should read Magret Atwood, she writes great Dystopia. I would suggest "The handmaids Tale" or "Oryx and Crake" for other ways in which the world is going to end at the hands of human technology and science.

fucking scientist in their fucking labs. They'll be the death of us.
