  • As a Internet OG I can confirm. Back in the 90’s and 80’s the Internet was such a wild and interesting place. There was always a new website to explore and every website was so different from the last. Fast forward 20 years and now although other websites exists people only use like four and all of those websites look the same. If you look at sites like YouTube, MySpace and digg the one thing they had in common was that they had nothing in common and on those websites they allowed so much personalisation on each personal page that no two accounts ever looked the same. Now a day’s your lucky if you get your own background pic.

    People always talk about dead internet theory but to me not only is it not a theory it’s been reality for years now.





  • Back when I was 18 I wanted nothing more then to be a nurse. I didn’t have much going for me in terms of qualifications so becoming a normal nurse was out of the question so I decided to become a nurse in the military. I thought it would be easier and I would get to travel the world.

    I signed up and it turned out I was wrong. I sucked at basic training and following instructions. They did a background check on me and having gone to S.E classes wasn’t a good look. They also did a psychological evaluation on me and it turns out I was a “deviant sociopath” so that wasn’t a good look either.

    After a little bit I had to come to terms with the fact that I would never be a nurse. It was heartbreaking to do that. I had worked hard for so long just to be one and it really hurt to understand that no matter how hard I tried nothing would work.
