FRUSTRATION!

I DID indeed see Jay Reatard, a week ago! But my camera, like all my technological belongings, has gone dead dead dead dead. my poor pictures are lost in limbo

Everything I own that is the least bit ‘advanced’, (something you have to plug in or put batteries into for life) has been faulty and unreliable.

EXAMPLES:

my computer gets a virus and I can only use it for limited purpose - the internet

My ipod player is a shitty and only works when i push it against an angle

my camera’s screen fucked up and now it won’t work

my IPOD went bananas, in a negative way, and I have lost all my music on it and need to return it to factory settings.

but despite all this complaining I’m totally happy and satisfied.

It’s okay, INFACT GREAT, to detach yourself from all these robot products.

It’s a bummer for sure, but it’s teaching me to not be reliant on technology- it’s faluty, and none of that stuff is tangible.

I lost all my music, but do you realize if I had all my albums on vinyl they’d be BIG and SOLID and I would have them until I physically threw them out. No robot to push me around.

I’ve been reading and writing so much more since I don’t have all these futuristic distractions up in my grill. those are both REAL touchable things.

I think when you do things that are not derived from gadgets and gizmos and electrical outlets it’s replenishing to your soul. it gets back to nature and our human instincts.

Not that reading and writing are so primitive- but in today’s world YES! they sort of are.

So I’m happy, even though it will cost money to fix/replace these things. if it weren’t this it would be something else.
