Thanks man – I’m here Actually what you saw of me up there wasn’t _really_ “me”. The me that’s spread all across the webosphere is really me. I’m almost at 10,000 Vines showing various “me”‘s 6 seconds at a time. I love the constraint of time; keeps me focused and challenged to express as much “me” as I can in as little time as possible. Gamification of social expression I guess
I refuse to do long travel until the teleport is ready. I mean, yeah, ok, they FINALLY made the Internet available for everybody. Everybody FINALLY became nerds like me and have pocket computers, wireless communication, and they’re all staring at pieces of glass with moving pixels behind it like I always did….
…but where’s my freakin’ teleporter? I’m 43, travel is too damn slow and, ok, I can transmit concepts, videos, music, words, and other parts of my brain over to anywhere in the world that’ll have me, but my BODY? Meh. It’s such a a pain in the ass to move from A-to-B.
All we gotta do is fold spacetime like a map. Forget lines. Connect A straight to B, punch a hole through it, I blink three times, click my heels and I’m there, visiting you. When I remember I forgot my toothbrush, step from the B to A hole (there’s a joke in there somewhere) ,I can pick up my toothbrush, then go through the A to B hole and say, “Ok, got it!”.
But yeah. I should visit. I love my yellow chair though. Ugly but so comfortable.
It’s not, you’re right. I don’t mind trains or buses or even planes even. I guess I just keep myself busy with so many projects at once that I don’t really even think of travel. I get obsessed over projects and love the adrenalin rush. Lately I’ve been collecting my brain at http://icopiedyou.com – making a Google of my brain based upon whatever the heck I’ve been writing about all these years and hoping it self-organizes into a ‘something’ that I can turn into a coherent “How to [verb]”… “be happy” “organize your life” “organize your thoughts” “be everything you wanted to be” etc…. I threw two books up on amazon a year ago or so… took every word in the largest thesaurus freely available, crosslinked them to find pattens, and English seems to fall into five” slots” of seemingly equivalent words… and on an ongoing quest to understand/be able to explain anything anywhere to anybody about anything… and I’ve made progress… so it’s hard to leave it. The whole thing is absurdism itself yet I know the only thing keeping these things from being cash cows is just a) marketing. and the more I work at it, the closer I get to a marketable product I can push out there, sell-myself, yet be able to stand behind without any problem. Not that I -can’t- travel… it’s just hard to tear away from these “bigger than I can chew in one day” projects that are energizing, exciting and lots of fun for me.
