As things stand nowadays, pretty much anyone and everyone can be a star. We all know this. The bar for talent has been considerably lowered. All it takes to become famous is an entertaining internet video. The majority of the people no longer need a glamorous idol who will be remembered for decades; all they need now is a few minutes of quotable absurdity. Andy Warhol's prophesied 15 minutes of fame is more applicable than ever, with our attentions spans no longer surpassing that of a goldfish.
We steadily retreat further and further from reality, allowing it to become fully subjective, until reality is only what we see on our computer screen, whether it be funny videos of cats or images of purported irony.
I wonder what comes next.

A Part Of
Martin Starr is a babe. Bearded hipster babe. Ya dig?
I love having long, meandering conversations with strangers. Not most strangers, of course, but the strangers who are so easy to talk to we may as well have been friends for years and years. Somehow it's nice to be able to talk fluently with human beings outside my limited social sphere, even if they never become a part of it.
