The Daily Dott - Saturday

Hell, even the word emoticon sounds robotic, fabricated and quite frankly emotionless! But these are the life and times we find ourselves living in, comment after comment, smiley after smiley, ‘lmao’ after ‘lmao’ and when you find your ass on the floor and put it back where it belongs you kinda get sick of being a digital representation of yourself. I know I do.

Don’t get me wrong though, I do enjoy having conversations over msn, commenting on someone’s status or noticing I have been tagged in someone’s photo album on Facebook (actually I don’t enjoy the latter especially if it’s a photo I don’t like) however it just gets a wee bit tiring after a while, there is only so far this social networking can take us.

Now I may sound like someone who spends too much time on the internet but fuck it, chances are you are the same as me if you are reading this.

I have been talking to someone quite a lot on msn over the past few weeks and it gets to the stage where, okay, these conversations are the reason we may be meeting up in the future but if I don’t meet this person, I may go crazy!! Lol.

I suppose I will meet this person soon enough and then in our future msn conversations the ‘lol’ will remind me of her sweet laughter, the smiley’s will remind me of her dimples and the ‘lmao’ will remind me of, I don’t know, falling on my arse or something?

Emoticons will do for now but it is your emotions I want to see.

It’s The Daily... ;)

-Who Beamed It Up?

Star Trek is one of the most successful science fiction franchises of our time, grossing millions upon millions and entertaining us for the best part of 40 years and more recently the last Star Trek film, directed by JJ Abrams was, “one of the most successful films of 2009, earning almost $US400 million ($430 million) at the worldwide box office”

Now these facts show, especially the latter about the movie, that there is still interest in Star Trek, of course there is, I mean, they are still showing re-runs of Voyager and Deep Space Nine on Virgin 1 much to the delight of this blogger.

But where did it all go wrong for Star Trek, in particular, the last television series, if you remember it.......Star Trek Enterprise.

Why was it beamed off our television screens? Who decided that the ship would go into warp speed 5 and never return?

I had to find out and I started my own mission ‘to boldly go’ onto the internet and discover the reasons behind this, after all, Star Trek the television show had been running for 18 consecutive years since 1987.

Well it all boiled down to ratings basically, nobody was watching the show and it got pulled after five seasons...pants! I thought there was going to be a more exciting reason but it’s kind of obvious, the show was a bit lame, especially that lackluster theme tune:

I am compelled to write at least something about thatguyfromthebnp despite the fact that I vowed never to talk about politics on this blog and also the fact that I never watched Question Time or even knew the guys name until yesterday.

However, I think judging by what I have heard about the guys appearance on the show, I think you are all Nick Griffin the point, yes, he was always going to make an arse of himself but I am talking about him, you are talking about him and that generates curiosity and interest in the party.

Some say he dug a hole for himself, but is it a hole that is big enough for more voters?
