Screw you

It's all so god damn cliche. Everything. It's all been done before, and it's probably been done better too. No room to be original anymore. Originality is dead any way. Replaced unceremoniously with irony and gosh if that hasn't been swell for every one. Nobody means what they say any more, it's all filtered through more and more layers of ever complex irony. Whatever. Getting angry is passe. But originality is still dead. There's no where left to go that hasn't been mapped, photographed, and put on Wikipedia. There's nothing left to do that doesn't have a corresponding greeting card. We're too late for tall ships, too early for spaceships. We're all out there looking for some kind of authentic experience, dulled and numbed as we are by tv, the internet, whatever, but even looking for legitimacy, for something real is just another cliche. Just another thing we're expected to do. Europe is out of the question, and not just because the Euro is making us all look bad. Everybody's been there. You go there for a week or two, or however long your budget allows and then you get back and you tell the same two stories over and over again and adopt stupid accents and every other sentence stars "Well, when I was in...".
