You know that feeling that someone has already explained it better, wittier and simply more original? You’ve sat there wondering how to package your thoughts about culture, social networking, online dating and the ability to zoom in on Lara Croft’s curves when playing Tomb Raider on the X-Box. And nothing. Your mind is blank so you start procrastinating and how convenient the Internet is for doing just that. Minutes, hours fly by, while you’re pretending to do something useful. You’re researching, brainstorming or something like it, is what you’d like to believe while looking at Facebook pictures of friends of friends because you can.
By now you’ve forgotten why you came online in the first place. The World Wide Web tends to have that effect. There is just too much other interesting stuff out there to keep your mind off the task at hand.
And then you stumble across Graham Murkett. Was it because a friend sent you a link or you kept clicking on fun looking buttons on other websites or you typed some useless phrase you thought was funny into YouTube? Whatever it was it doesn’t matter, because you’ve just found Some Grey Bloke who has already done everything you set out to do in the first place. He has something to say about Twitter, religion, Photoshop, chatting, Internet porn, and maybe even Lara Croft. You’re annoyed for a moment, because he’s just so much funnier and original and greyer than you’ll ever be. So when you realise that the creator of this grey bloke has already come up with all the originality you set out to blog about you decide to at least take credit for having found this online genius, surely that earns you brownie points right?
