It’s official. The world is going to fully migrate to the web. No longer will people congregate in traditional social settings, they’re going to be financially forced to virtually visit with one another. In other words… The only clubs you’ll be flash-dancing in, in the future, will be digital discos.
Yesterday, one of the world’s most trusted oil analysts predicted with certainty that we would experience 10-12 years of gas prices that will hover well above the price of $12 per gallon. Now, I don’t know about you, but I can’t afford that crude craziness! I’m sorry to get so upset, but this sad situation really concerns me!
Fast forward to the future for a second and think about how difficult it will be to live in a world where you can’t afford to travel anywhere. My Toyota Tacoma gets about 15 miles per gallon, so if I want to enjoy a lunch meeting with someone who lives 30 miles from my home in downtown Dallas, I’m gonna have to pay between $20-$30 just to get my happy - rather, UNhappy - ass over there.
No longer are we going to be able to afford to spend time with friends and family because, thanks to our addiction to the policing of our worthless online savings accounts, we’ll always be in a constant struggle of the heart as to whether we’d rather hold onto our dollars and cents more, or our mothers and fathers (Don’t worry Mom & Dad I’m just being dramatic. You know who’s number one ;-). I mean, can you believe what we’re about to get ourselves into? Our lives are about to dramatically change! How will we adjust to a social landscape that doesn’t include opportunities to interact with our loved ones? Thanks to the root of all evil - money - we’re all going to have to declare bankruptcy on our relationships so we won’t have to declare bankruptcy on our finances. Now THAT is a sad, sad, situation to be in.
Now please don’t interpret my upcoming analysis as my way of trying to slide in a shameless plug (Click here to contact me about my Virtual Biography services ;-). But if we’re to stay connected with one other throughout our upcoming period of social separation, we’re going to be forced to embrace the Internet as our best friend.
That’s right. Virtual Biographies ( << Click to learn more.) - online, day-to-day, reality programs about people’s lives - are going to be our only means of staying in touch with the lives we love. If you can’t afford to drive over to a buddy’s house for some drinks and some small talk, you’re going to have to figure out an alternative method of mingling, and that method is going to involve logging onto your WEB of relationships.
Again, I’m not saying all this just so you’ll contact me about my Virtual Biographer services (Seriously, you need to contact GHOST BLOGGER ;-), but doesn’t a world of $15 per gallon gas prices, where you’re not able to slide on over to a friends house as easily as you once could so you can sit around and talk about a lot of nothing, cause you to think twice about what our immediate future is going to feel like? We’re currently in a period of damn-near $5 per gallon gas prices and I’m already a hermit, so what could possibly make me believe that my social life will be any richer when a single tank of gas costs $300 bones. Geez! That’s nuts!
So if you wanna host any house parties in the next 10-20 years, you better start drawing up a blueprint for your virtual mansion, because without one, you’re going to start to feel like one lonely loser.
