BeachBoyRambles

My first ramble .. potentially my only ramble, time will only tell if I keep this going. How much does one need to track their thoughts especially in an online space. I should just buy a diary but I know that will only end up in a pile with all my other notebooks. I don't even like writing so honestly what am I hoping to achieve here.

Actually upon further reflection I DO know what I am trying to achieve here. I really want this website to be a world.. my world. A world free from the mundanity of digital spaces. I am working on a zine at the moment that will accompany the website. The zine is a curation of my thoughts and feelings as told through the lens of the old internet. I guess this website mirrors an online, real, tangible version of that.

One of my favourite spaces in the world is sowly dissapearing as technology moves further and further away from being something fun and useful to be becoming a bland draconian hellscape. The internet reminds me of how it feels to grow up - when you're younger you have these dreams and at the time they could be a real possibility much like the old internet. Characterised by lots of colour, fun things to do in every corner for the sake of it, oversharing and a general whimsy. As you get older and you realise the dreams you once had slip further and further away from your grasp. Life becomes the new internet ... bland, user firendly and to the point. Now im not being a total pessimist I have dreams! I have fun! I love my life! I am just acutely aware that maybe I wont become a world famous pop star and maybe I am doomed to live a regular life and thats FINE. I just think.. i guess.. what I am trying to say... is just because your dreams might be dying much like the old internet is doesnt mean you cant carve out youre own little space of the internet that is colourful, fun anda happy space free from influencers trying to sell you $29.99 diet jelly that will make you shit yourself for a week!

The zine and this site is a culmination of nostalgia for the past and hope for the future.
