Romantic cynicism

Someone once said that "every cynic is a disillusioned romantic."

Blanket statements are never true (including this one), but that one seems about right to me.

I was going to say something about "chick flicks for blokes" but I can't be arsed now.

Do you realise that next year will be the 60th anniversary of the human race demonstrating that it has the power to utterly destroy itself, and we still haven't actually done it? That is the greatest reason to hope for the future that I can think of.

This post should be read with David Holmes' "Don't die just yet", which incidentally will be the soundtrack piece for Armitage's demise in Neuromancer (when Chris Cunningham gets off his arse and makes me director)!
