Some years ago a good friend of mine asked me something ( actually not ) funny: “well,” he started “how do you recognize the future?”..i stared at him until he went on “by the digits on a towerclock,” he said.

That this “joke” wasn’t funny at all, not even a tiny bit, was not only my opinion.. and doesn’t matter at all.. because now i’m pretty sure that you can only recognize the future when it’s already there.

You wake up and there it is. It looks a bit like in those 80’s science fiction movies. Skyscrapers, the mixture between historic and modern, clean architecture, those huge advertising banners..a little bit darker and some flying cars and we got the blade runner style. But, im pretty sure that we won’t have to wait long. At least not for the darkness.. *sigh*

Yet even with that old analog clock on church towers i might think that we’re already arrived in our so called future!

..and yeah, there was a reason why i shot this on film..

Where are we headin towards? Where am i heading towards..?

It seems that this society we’re living in is rushing in forced speed. Headless towards an unknown future. Or has the future arrived and passed me? Caught while sleeping, huh?

Yesterday i saw two cute and friendly looking girls stealing the portemonais of an older woman. Right in front of me. I did nothing about it. To be honest i simply did not even recognise it.. Awareness is in somekind, sometimes usefull..!

Well, somehow it seems that this behaviour of “blending out” is an important part of our society. Even worst, most people don’t even care about it?!

“Blinded by the lights”

As Mike Skinner already sang it. Next to our shiny new skyscrapers and rising ( ? ) economy we are breeding some kind of perfect working idiots… Unaware of anything than themselfs.. unconsciously doing what they are told to do. Well, workerbees.. and all for the money. That’s the best part.. just for a couple euros or dollars they would sue their grandmother or rob her..! But well, thats another story.. Where i was heading towards?

Yeah, that was the big question..

I recently bought those superstylish headphones from Sony. They look clean and are stylish. I really love to wear them. At night, at a party, even in the bus. I love to show them around and they are even fully customizable but you will need to buy some additional tools like this pen..

In fact, they are headphones and do you know what i’m going to do with them? Listen some good tunes. Really, i will be able to listen to my favorite tunes when i’m on the go! That’s why i bought those superstylish headphones from Sony.

They are black and in a timless and sleek design. Indeed the sound is only good but way better then his friends made by other brands like WESC or Urbanears.. And you know what’s best at all? They cost less. Isn’t it great? They are priced half..

Oh nice new superstylish headphones from Sony. I’m about to have so much fun with you..

*sigh*

Thanx for the nice capture..

Life is ironic, really! But never thought it could be so much fun!
