Life on the internet and beyond.

THIS HAS NOT BEEN PROOF READ. I POST THIS WITHOUT GOING OVER WHAT I JUST WROTE. THIS IS JUST WORDS AFTER WORDS. NOTHING CONSISTENT. IF YOU CAN FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO FIGHT YOUR WAY THROUGH THE JUNGLE OF HARD TO READ SENTENCES I WILL FIND MYSELF IN A STATE OF EUPHORIA.

So what is this thing we call life anyway?

I'm sorry for my lack of proper choice of words, and incoherent grammar but I've been having a very inconsistent sleeping schedule the past weekend. So anything that follows here is just a rambling of a very sleep deprived 20 year old geek with absolutely no motivation to do anything.

So let me give you the story in gray and white and black. Portray you the situation.
No I won't overwhelm you with a massive amount of orange links; nor will I give you boring updates about projects I work on.
What you are going to get is a shit-load of sentences ending in paragraphs.
Like this.
Jumping a line down after every sentence. Why? Because it makes me feel comfortable in how I write.
Yes I know I won't get not as much readers as I used to. So what I write is pretty irrelevant to what the audience enjoys reading.
Now lets get to the story I want to tell.

Anyone who signed up before '07 will remember that day when they implemented the User pages and where everyone went haywire and started reading what everyone wrote.
So much shit that was spouted at that period.
Golden shit as it may.

You didn't even have to be a well respected animator or contributor to the site to get a frontpage news post!
It was glorious.

Then things went back to his original state and things calmed down. We are now in the year 2008 going on the year 2009.
The awesome series is now a full blown meme. Madness day was greater then it will ever be. First tank awards arrived and so on.
It was the start of a new era for Newgrounds.
And with the start of every new era, the vibe that comes right before the uprising of this era has such a huge impact on those few people that are a part of it. Something that the people who are born in this new founded era will never feel.
Yes it is more then just an update.

Was the start of the new millennium just an update of the roman calendar? No. It was a feeling we all felt.
We felt fear for change; but also excitement for new discoveries.

So what is my point in all the shit you might have managed to get through?
My point is that times have changed so much from the start of the internet; In the field of entertainment that all the content put up now gets drowned in the flood of massiveness.

Admins now resort to their users to help them find "gems". Which is an impossible task, because of the wide variety in opinions.

Now while I feel like closing this off without proof reading it; I will continue with my current situation. Which was the plan all along.

My current weekend plan was to get completely closed off from society and lock myself up.

Cellphone. Off.
Door. Locked.
Friends. Far away.
Fridge. Stacked.

After days of no sleep and lack of decent hardware to keep up with my habits I arrived on a conclusion that the revolution we are going towards will all be focused on technological advancements. [DUR]
And anyone who is unable to follow this will feel lonely and left out. They will feel as an outcast and resort to artistic mediums to define themselves.
Don't follow the zombies.
Zombies will be replaced by robots. Thank you Chris for telling me this.
To avoid being replaced by a robot, you need to develop a skill that no robot will be able to do.
Develop creativity.

Creativity to create and destroy. Creativity to think beyond others thought. Go out your boundaries and be someone more then you are.
Be special. Be someone. Get noticed. Start a riot. On or offline. Doesn't matter because the revolution will be find in both realms until they collide in an enormous explosion of frustration and depression.
People will loose themselves.

My structure in sentences is getting less readable.

I have disregarded all my rules of building up something. Just in the hope to get people to read these things by taking an impulse act of writing here and so ending my weekend with no interaction with society.

That was a long sentence.

I say to you goodnight. Maybe see you people in Dublin. Hopefully I will find some self respect to refrain from being a social human being, and suppress everything so I can find words like I just put down here to not come out of my fingertips, but out of my mouth.
For once, hopefully say something intelligent. And not stupid.

We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.

Well now that I've read your post...

The internet is always developing, always changing. It's like an ever changing cloud, that sometimes causes storms and lightning. Why is it happening though? Well, because it's still young and extremely free. I predict that in a few tens of years it will be somewhat stagnating. No major changes will be made. However I might be wrong Damien! The internet is free, and humans tend to enslave free things just for the hell of it (like pets). In this case though, I mean laws concerning the internet. Then again, starting extremely strict laws against the internet might be similar to declaring war against wine and song - people need it, and no one can stop them.

I expect a looooong reply GFG :P

OMG ITS SO LONG. I just clicked "Respond" to see what I wrote.
And it's HUGE man. I'm so sorry I couldn't help myself.
Just pick out little bits that look interesting. I don't care. I wrote it down. Its out there.

My actual response starts under this line
<_______________________________>
Not longer as usual I guess?
I mean, I have issues with expressing myself so most of the time I need at least a paragraph to express myself.
Bare with me; I just woke up so my brain is all gooey

But I like the analogy you made there.
Cloud - Internet.
I mean, yeah they already use that term for it. But you can go beyond that term, and compare it to actual clouds.
You can add steam and fog to it. But it won't have a big effect. It won't change the shape of that cloud. It'll just make it bigger.
Sometimes it DOES have a big effect, so big in fact, that it causes commotion outside the cloud. It then has an effect on our lives. Like your storms.
But like a cloud, the Internet doesn't have a shape or a specific path.

It isn't something you can put a fence around.
Even if they want a "war". Even if they do try to contain what happens on the Internet. It will brake free from it. It will find a way.
"Like a cloud it will just fly through the fence."
God thats sounds mushy.

To put it this way; There are people out there that can hack into NASA. Just because they can. Not because they have to.
Imagine what those people will be capable of if they HAVE to brake into the "most secure server "

Anyway. You get my point.
I never believed in the FCC or whatever it was that think it can control what happens around here.

Now your point of humanity enslaving everything thats free.
Your example of the domestication of pets has its exceptions.

We didn't really domesticate CATS. Cats don't really need us. WE kind of need cats.
The only reason they are a widely accepted pet is because they keep us company.
Like this :3
Not the other way around.
Cats can fuck off anytime they want. The only reason your cat sits on your lap(top) everyday is because you don't let it outside enough and the cat has trained YOU to feed it 2-3 times a day.

You ever noticed how your cat can be gone for days? And then all of a sudden he's back and he's like "Sup? Yeah I just went on a three day travel around europe because I'm awesome like that"

Dogs however are different.
Dogs fall under the category of farm animals. Animals like horses, sheep, cows and chickens have a very stable and boring life. We take that boring life and put it in a place where it benefits us.
Its not really enslaving, it's merely relocating.
But you can't do that with things that go beyond that.
A cloud isn't a chicken.
The Internet isn't a person.

Anyway I started googling that whole Internet censorship shit and came out here www.newworldorderwar.com/when-wil %l-you-lose-your-internet-freedom

....I started reading that so I lost track of what I was typing. So my response could've been way longer.

GOOD DAY MY LOYAL FELLOW. I WILL LOVE YOU UNTIL THE WAR ON THE INTERNET STARTS. THEN ITS EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF. I will never forget you though.

Oh that reminds me.
Another thing that the big government people don't realize (I think).

We consider this Internet Censorship as an actual war. The government is all "OLOLOL LETS PULL THE PLUG LOLOLOL"

WRONG. It will take a lot of debating and political bullshit before an actual "switch" is pulled.
And we are already preparing ourself for when sites start disappearing.

WE ARE ALREADY IN FORMATION; ARMED TO THE TEETH; WHILE THEY ARE STILL THINKING OF A STRATEGY.

If this war occurs. We will not lose. WE WILL STRIKE BACK LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW.

Mark my words.

<_______________________________>

It could've been way longer, just saying.
I had way more up my sleeve with the whole "Human <3 Enslaving" etc.
You're right on that.

Happy Festivities!
