When I was younger I used to have to go to rotten.com. I don't know if that's still around, but that was a nasty site. There's one picture that I saw there which will be with me forever. A dried up corpse of a woman, her skin yellowed and her eyes opened. The eyes looked like withered paper, it was pretty creepy. The good old days of the internet.

I remember before I even had a computer I was reading paranormal stuff on something else. What were they called? Oh, yeah, books. I still read more stuff in books than I would on an electronic device. I read every day in both, about three hours on a computer or phone, and about four to five hours on paper. Granted, a lot of the computer and phone stuff is work related, but it still counts. I love to read and learn new things, just finished a psychology book, and started reading a catchall science book, but also reading a Dean Koontz book. If the internet was ruining everything, the only place where anyone would be able to find any information would be Wikipedia.

The internet may have a lot of people who just rehash old ideas, but the same can be true about books. Look at The Great Gatsby, it was just a retelling of Romeo and Juliet, at least I think that was the story it was retelling, I forgot. But all the same, it just depends how well the author is at crafting something original from a old idea. Look at how many stories come from Revelations. The best adaptation, in my opinion, would be The Taken by Koontz, I really like Koontz. It's his take on it, but the world is infested with aliens and people are abducted by spacecrafts. It's really cool.

Ranting and forgot what I was even going to talk about. Hate it when my kids distract me.
