Comment on #107 – Joseph Donnell’s Facebook Page Post-Mortem by Not So Bothered?

Rob,
This extends beyond facebook: even this comment is a sort of stamp that will be in the apparatus . . . forever? Thoughts of the collective, the invisible consciousness, a ballooning discourse . . . The Facebook is a crude flaw, and it seems that there are two reactions: one person sees the page as sacrosanct–the last social movements in the virtual world; another sees it as a memory-board, an ability to continue to write the narrative, perhaps out of personal necessity, sort of the way I have decided to add to the narrative of this blog.

In any case, isn’t the memory of the dead always written by the survivors? We may have control in our life, but it’s out of hands (thankfully) when we’re gone. Perhaps we have control on our narrative now, but we will be left to the collective–the apparatus–when we die. Seems like the facebook, in this and in many other social functions, has just added a new layer.

In lieu of these thoughts I am now going to post this review on the wall of my dear uncle (died in 2010), because posting it after he’s dead would bother the shit out of him.

I am currently accepting applications for cheerleaders. Submit your best dirty bowling limerick for consideration.

Yes!
I keep thinking of that scene in the Big Lebowski where John Turturro tongues his bowling ball…

Hilarious! There’s nothing quite so creepy as innuendo-heavy bowling alleys mid-day on a Monday….

I love this! I want to memorize it and say it over and over while I’m at the YMCA on the treadmill.
