Well, the day has come and gone when I was inspired to make a change. I felt a great need to join the united voice that spoke against the corporate devaluation and manipulation of the internet as we know it. But I am lazy. I confess to you now that I have failed to “stay the course” because I had other shit to do since Wednesday. You did too. I know. I’m as baffled as you. Or I was until I confessed aloud that I am lazier than a fat teenager. I have not one time looked for news as to the outcome -if any- of our struggle. (Can I honestly call the struggle mine now that I have betrayed it to sloth?)
It is not a lack of opportunity. I use the internet regularly enough. I spend most days perched in this aging and creaking chair staring at the too bright light of the unnecessarily overdone display, leaning closer with every wonder filled moment. In fact I have played video games online for hours (browsing simultaneously in many cases), checked for new episodes of Terra Nova and NCIS of course, even built a website for a friend’s upstart. But I didn’t look to see how the legislation was treated. I am stopping now to find out. The suspense is killing me.
