isn't that kind of sad?
i mean sure,
i could type in "inventor+napster" in the little google box in the upper right hand corner of my window
but should I even have to?
I mean, it really hasn't been THAT long since all that shit blew up.
It makes me wonder though, before the internet did people just have better memory?
Because I KNOW it's not just me who feels like I can't remember shit these days. Which one of you folks can tell me the name of any of Bill Clinton's cabinet members without looking it up?
I sure as fuck can't, i'll tell you that.
It's also possible that before the internet people did just forget about the shit that happened 10 years ago and brushed it off as irrelevant.
It sort of is, if you think about it. Irrelevant, I mean.
So much of what we think (if not ALL of it) is just like, a hyper-compression of all the shit we've heard.
Would I march a herd of elephants over the Alps
if I didn't know how hard it sucked for Hannibal?
I guess that's a stupid example, because clearly I would never ride an elephant over the Alps..unless I was a total asshole.
This all calls into question the whole "learning from history" thing. I get that it's like cool and fancy to know about history but in reality its kinda bullshit.
There are no mistakes that haven't been made twice.
Even the "marching across the Alps", fucking NAPOLEON did it,
and you KNOW he was about Hannibal.
But his spin on it
was to do it sans elephants......a level of jack-assery the world has yet to see topped.
Like..at least if you have elephants you don't have to WALK UP A MOUNTAIN.
also, it gets realllllly cold you could totally kill one, hollow it out sleep inside it.
Shit, you could put a fucking kitchenette in.
Top Ten Things for Aria To Do Immediately:
1) Make an elephant aparment (or, "elephartment") in the Alps
2).....
yes, the above is funny because it says "phart" which sounds like "fart".
haha...fartment...
I looked so fucking GROSS today, I have to get that out. I was in the library for 12 hours, so I can forgive myself a little. But I hated it. Skin looked good at least.
Anyway, I'm not going to be that bitch who is like "Oh my god, I hate my fucking faaacceee" because usually I'm not too shabby.
on that self-assured note. I'm off to bed.
Final bio exam tomorrow. It feels pretty weird...
