Why do we insist on leaving a vaporous vapour trail?

We are truly the generation that won't allow ourselves to get drunk in peace, aren't we.

First of all, there was drunk behaviour.

Which was frowned on, but forgettable mainly due to the fleeting nature of it (unless there was a video camera in evidence). Or photos. But they could be lost in the move, couldn't they.

Then there was drunk telephoning.

Bad.

Then we invented drunk texting.

Pretty bad.

And now there's drunk Facebooking.

Two types.

Actual Facebooking when drunk. Well, not drunk so much as slightly tipsy so that you can't remember what stellar thought was in your head at the time you wrote the thing.

And then there's the really scary Facebooking of the past through image and sound.

Why do we leave this vaporous vapour trail behind us constantly?

We should have one day a year when there's no technology and we all just have a party or a debate or whatever we want, in peace, with no phones or Interweb.

I hereby command that August 8th be that day from now on.

I'll organize the party next year, howzat?!



Sitting here waiting for the breadmaker to finish making the bread.

When you peer inside, the weirdly contorting dough looks like the beginnings of a clone or something equally nasty.
