the future has peaked

Its's sure to become a catchy new derogatory term on the streets

'He's fucking peaked dude,  he's going to get his ass kicked by that wave' 

Or 'that bitch has peaked man, her pussy is dust' 

Yay, we are living in peak times people

Perhaps we've all fucking peaked

We slept soundly up until the millenium in a consumption heated palm lined aquarium 

Were woken rudely by  9/11  the rumble of the War on Terror and this sudden unsolicited and very, very , very inconvenient awareness of scarcity...

 

I mean how fucking uncool is that? 

Where did all that shit go?

Someone has to be fucking with us , right? 

Perception is reality and all that.. 

 

And now we're being told almost everything- Society and the World as we know it - is Peak

Or has peaked

Meaning that we're about having as good as it gets or we've had it

This is it!  

We're on the crest of the great wave of progress

And this my friends is the peak

Or is was...

Cos here we go

Whoooaaaaaa! 

 

Peak oil

Peaked Polar Bears  

Peak grain

Peaked bio diversity  

Peak food

Peaked job security

Peak bourgeoise smugness 

Peaked just getting by ...

 

Jesus! This is Peak humanity! 

We've drawn history's short straw 

Why weren't we told this was coming?

We could have bought more beach towels 

In anticipation of riding the fucking Downwave 

 

I guess en route down there's one consolation

Gravity will do most of the work

And it'll be a real scream for those unfamiliar with being Wiped Out 

Those used to the struggle will probably  wear Ray Bans and go  faster shorts

And body surf into escape velocity with finesse

At least she has a dog watching her ass. I got no-one watching mine.

This century has been a shock. I remember being told the 21st century would be
the age of leisure as a kid.. We really do seem to have drawn the short
straw.I'm ovwewhelmed by waves of disgust.

Jesus Bjorn, must you speak about peaked out pussies? For all the women that
ran out to catch Sex and The City in theaters on opening night, there are just
as many of us that have never even seen one episode of the tv show.

We're the
ones with a certain song by Janis Ian playing on our IPODS.

Yeah, this is all
good as it gets, and I still haven't gotten any of life's great perks yet.

Oh
well, back to that irreversible bitterness that we often hint at around this
hitching post.

you fucking nihilists,
you should really just commit suicide,
you don't speak
to most people,
you're anti life,
this website is useless,
please get off the
planet
Vinny   |2008-06-13 06:04:54
Ha! I always thought the question of who the 'great despisers' really are
should be re-examined, there's something kind of peak about the answer...
bjorn   |2008-06-13 12:06:21
Lol Jillian. Sorry about that but avoiding peak sexual potential would be
'cheating ourselves at solitaire ' as Janis Ian puts it , like not noticing Sex
in the City morphing into ****en Girls , its another of life's givens although
I'm certainly not averse to burying my angst in the welcome distraction of
pussy now and again, peak or otherwise. And whats this about hinting at
irreversible bitterness on this site, I thought some of us were pretty openly
and explicitly expressing it.:/

anonymous: that's a pretty neat set of projections you've got going there ,
you're obviously struggling with some deep rooted frustrations yourself, I
sense an unhappy marriage has disrupted your cakewalk down the pathway to
personal achievement, enlightenment and happiness an untidy divorce perhaps?..or
feeling increasingly fucking powerless in your job and the world ..do feel free
to share as it helps reign in the nihilism.. It's just a thought..

Dont know what to think about all this talk of peak everything ,would like to
be able to dismiss it as more Y2K quackery but so much of what we are being
warned anout is now impacting upon our everyday lives, like oil, energy , food
and housing prices. I keep having this recurring dream that I'm running out of
air. How did life become this stressful???

Shut the fuck up pond life!

i'm not so sure this website is useless, for example, if someone from another
planet wanted to know why the human race is in the process of becoming extinct,
all the answers could be found on this website.

The problems and answers would be obvious to any other intelligent beings
scrutinising us but sadly we have no collective insight .We arent equipped to
see what we are doing to ourselves.
