introspective periscope : peeking inside since Y2K ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the most wonderful time of the year let's make a deal - 10 september 2014 "blind man beggin' for a little crust of bread/ rich lady wonderin' what the undertaker said / cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead..."~willie nile america, can we sit down for a second and have a little heart to heart? i won't hold you up too long...just a little request from Jones-Who-Loves-You, cool? there is gonna be another iphone launch because you know...it's just that time of year. i repeat: it happens every year. can we just take a deep collective breath together and keep our shit together and be humans about this? i mean, yes...the watch sounds pretty cool, sure. we'll all be knight rider by the end of september if we play our cards right, right? and i know you're gonna all want to have this new shiny thing in your hands but let's just be reasonable with each other, eh? please? because ya'all have been bitter pills these last couple of days and i'm going to put it behind us and blame it on the weird moon and leave it at that...and because, as cool as it is to have it on !!!!the first day!!!!, you know everyone is going to get theirs within a matter of weeks. let's take turns? yeah! you can do this, america. i just know it. and if you're on the edge of a tantrum because it is the only possible thing that will pacify you today and you discover that you can't have it yet, reflect: it's a bigger version of your current phone but smaller than that mini version of the larger thinner version of exactly the same thing. good....breathe in, breathe out...repeat. it is, at the heart of it, the same as the thing you have now...only different somehow. relax...relax. thanks, america. i know you're all going to be peaches in the upcoming days. i believe in you. xo, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .what came before. - .what happened next. a diamond at the bottom of the drain - 20 october 2017 |
