Alluding Life To A Video Cassette

When was the last post? Ah, Hell. It doesn't matter, I can never come up with anything of interest to write about at the best of times. So why have I started up this one now? Well, that's a mystery that can only be solved by going about seventeen seconds back through the passage of time. Of course time travel is impossible and we're all fixed on this constant trajectory. In the terms of the good old VHS, try to think of us as constantly on 'play'. There's no 'fast forward' to speed things up, no 'rewind' to go back a bit, no 'pause' to just give it a rest for a bit, and no 'record' to capture those special fleeting moments in life. Incidentally, there is a 'stop' function which you can press yourself (if 'play' just keeps getting on your nerves) or someone can horribly press it for you (with or without your consent... or in some cases they can run over the remote conveniently hitting the 'stop' button with the wheels of their car) but after that the batteries in the remote are pretty much nackered and you can't 'play' again.

Also 'eject' doesn't do much except make you have a shit.

So why have I started going on alluding life to a video cassette? Well, to answer that we'd have to go 134 seconds back through ti- oh wait...

Yeah, I'm bored. What of it?
