<< Valentine's Day | Main | Musical moment >> February 15, 2005 >> Look the other way Lately I've spent far more time catching up on people news than news news. When I'm idly clicking around the internet, I look for blogs and stories written by friends and other people like me. The CNN MegaNewsBloc falls to the wayside; no longer an IE Favorite, its hegemony unsampled. I choose to fish the vast deep seas instead, never sure of what I'll find but always confident in its authenticity. Somehow online lives seem more genuine than the detached efficiency of corporate news. Somehow I feel as though I learn more about the world from people like Tudor than the endless procession of sterile reporting that builds a dark mural of 'what's important'. I want to read opinion and experience, not muted objectivity. I'm always looking for something that looks, feels, tastes, smells and sounds more real. And, as Chad knows, the obvious follow-up question at work here is "What is reality?", delivered with the serious pretention that only a film major can muster and quickly drowning in laughter from the rest of the class. Because reality is clearly this, here, now. Real is us and not them. Posted by Chris at 04:47 PM >> Commentations (3)
