Down the clickhole of Russel Brand on YouTube. He's bright, clearly, and his mind frequently struggles to keep up with his mouth. And he does a fine job of being outrageous, cheeky, the seducer, the bad boy, and he's damned good company (to watch), throwing his invariably dry hosts on their ass or otherwise upsetting or challenging the situation.
So, click, click, click, and eventually you hit his "TREWS" channel, True News, an oxymoron if ever there was one. A few years since he's started this, he's clearly an awful lot less manic, calmer, he's kind-of doing the Jim Carey, Guru, Comedian come Messiah, the grey beard of wisdom, the 12 steps, they trampled him with the higher power, I don't disagree, I could use his advice at every turn, but - for the layperson, at least, I think , all this newfound enlightenment makes him boring.

Making big plans for summer, and in this department there's lots to be done. I mean LOTS. And here - with a few carefully worded queries - the internet becomes interesting again.
Really, it's been about 2 years, probably more, since I went deep into the topic, in which time there have been dozens of new maps uploaded, updated, and I'm finding new information with every turn of the shovel.
The death of Oil and Gas has spelled a new boom in prospecting the province, looking at other opportunities, and the information, largely, is online and free to search..
Good. And the weather, outside, almost good enough, if only I'd packed my shovel and pans back from Nelson, but that's only a day trip away, and I might just have to make it, and when boredom overwhelms me I go online and searching, planning the summers riches...
When did the Internet get so boring?

Now really, all these algorithms tailored to my tastes, youtube, newsfeeds, and despite this, or maybe because of this, the internet has become a boring place. Nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Read the news daily, surf about the net, there's really nothing that catches my eye, makes me think, inspires me, and I've come to the conclusion that it's been hijacked by tedious corporate interests, the meat of it is more digging than I have time for, and I don't have a date, but it's definite, it's certain, that it's become an increasingly dreary place. I need to find something interesting here or I'll go mad...
