the value of information

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

after having not read the newspaper consistently for about 3 years

it is proving to be a treasure chest full of shit

today
i read about how technology advances seem to be affecting so many - or all -
industries that obtain their income from broadcasting information

the whole music download situation
the fact that newspaper editorials are being found online
the alternative media streams of blogs
wikipedia
etc
etc
etc

which is making me wonder if information has any value at all

my hunch is no

what MAY have value tho
is the presentation of the information
- that which separates something 'entertaining'
from something which serves only to deliver a message

with the increasing presence of these alternative and instantly available forms of
communication
do any of the old-standard forms of selling information stand a chance?

LHX is getting wise

i realize now that some people are comfortable on this planet
and
most of the things i have to say are said with an urgency that may seem manic

i think i am starting to understand

like i came from september 12 and was sent back in time to september 10

something somewhere is laughing

damn

shouldve gone sci-fi with that shit

like i fumbled my phaser
it fell in the space dirt
still feelin queasy
too many astro-martinis
and now im in a tight spot
caught between my ship and a big rock
these dudes were mean
plus i heard they got spock
or at least that was the rumor
five eyes and no sense of humor
strange growths on their heads
like it was some kind of tumor
spoke some kind of broken klingon
i had my anti-gravity-ring on
they lunged
i jumped
they collided like in a looney-toons rerun
all bloody at the mouth
they were down for the count
i grabbed the loot and some food
hopped in my ship
i was out

reading this thread will be of little use to you

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

because i have no points to make

and
im not an entertainer like stand-up comics or at
the circus

if i was a protester and was carrying around a picket sign -
it would be blank

all the points i could make
are available from other sources
or
how the fuck else would i have learned them
if they didnt come from other sources?

think about it for a second

sometimes me

reincarnation change in carnation

shape shifting

space travelling

changing form

it all seems pretty likely

theres lots of things to do if you can get yourself unattached to a body
