a word

Iv always been one for the old quote 'actions speak louder than words blah blah blah'
but they just fucking dont unless you shoot someone.
I wonder who writes the script for life, and what kind of tv they watched before they were assigned this crazy project. Mayhaps (haha love that word) we are the actors and writers in this story without even knowing. Maybe some of us are aware of the power.

Dont you hate it when youre typing and you get back ache? I mean seriously Im not even a fully fledged writer but this is torture!
Developing a style of writing is a bit difficult. its like the words are all there but you just have to throw them together with your own character tattooed on.
Like that TV ad - 'he knows text communication can be a real turn on' bullshit but true. You see if you have character it doesnt necessarily mean that when you write it will entertain readers... but usually it does.
Some would argue that a writer has to travel the world and do amazing wonderful dangerous things (power of the triad) surely someone whos really fucking boring cant write a good novel? Imagination can take you so far I guess; Leave this world behind and all that jazz...

Where was I? Swear to God I turn 23 and my brain falls out. OH YES Internet communication!
Not necessarily social networking (evidently the devil) Im talking about this strange new scary world known as video phonecalls. Something I expected to be all over the 21st century like a rash on a chapped vagina. Now you see sci fi movies and video communication seems to be the way in which the government controls you. (back to the future George Orwells 1984) We see that us poor humans have no privacy which leads to agitation and stress panic attacks and shorter life expectancy. Oddly enough I think this new scary technology is something technologically advanced people have to deal with. Basically if youre self conscious about walking along a beach with no top on holding hands with your girlfriend then youre not going to get very far.
As a young lad me and a few friends had a concept called 'no shame'. Epic huh? Basically we would assign tasks to eachother that would require what poser gangsters call BALLS. Anything absolutely anything you would never ever do (hard to think of now eh?) and yeah its basically truth or dare without the truth... what Im getting at is that THIS is what people have to do for themselves. Not just for the adrenalin and serotonin but for the benefit of existence. I like to be lazy but if Im going to do something it has to be at least a bit dangerous, I need to know theres going to be some kind of kick out of it or at least a giggle. For me its easy to see how a lot of people fall into the BORED trap. Too much of a pussy to do something, or just completely have no imagination at all. No longer do people think ''im gonna jump off something really high - no wait i might hurt myself'' now the imagination simply doesnt care.
