Trying to set up something aside from the prison blog that Emilie created for me...Not sure if I'll keep this one going or if I'll end up abandoning it for something else. I'm trying out a lot of things right now. Nothing out here is too easy to use anymore. Not to sound like an old man but everything has changed and its confusing and stupid and I don't like it...The world seems to have gotten bigger and faster since I went to prison. Everything electric tries to sell me something whenever I turn it on and use it. Being able to watch youtube and search the internet and pretend to stay connected to people on FB - all at the same time on one device - is convenient and cool, but it becomes immediately frustrating if you need to rely on the technology and haven't been using it constantly for the last six years. These fucking devices are more active and more aware than i am, and without wanting to act like a paranoid prison person...It all makes me very uncomfortable. Well, if not uncomfortable, suspicious as hell. But I think I've become suspicious of things in general.
My alienation and fresh-out-P.T.S.D. is mitigated by the following things:
- Gelato is now everywhere and since it's not ice-cream, which is bad for you and immature and sugary, we can all eat the hell out of tubs of salt caramel cookie crunch and it's cool.
- Toilet paper has evolved at an even greater rate than phones and the internet. Even the cheaper stuff is akin to wiping your ass with crushed velvet. Truly amazing.
- I thought that "On Demand" meant that you could pay to see the show/movie whenever you wanted, like a newer form of pay-per-view. Nope, if you have anything besides basic cable, that shit's free. 5,214 movies are currently available through Dish Network at my moms place in Minnesota. Through an ap, they can be streamed to my dads ipod and watched in bed here in Virginia. Whenever I feel like it. There is a lot of stuff I'd have to rent if I wanted to see it, but there are thousands of movies to watch on each subscription.
