Go Kempo
Was just going through some old photos and I found this doozy, taken in Kelvingrove Park around this time last year:
Yes, that does say "KEMPO FAE MYSPACE". I know that kids are fairly mixed up these days and whatnot, but are they really unable to distinguish real life from cyberspace? Have the lines between the physical and the internets really become so blurred?
I tried to find Kempo on myspace, but none of the suspects really seem to match. Perhaps Kempo has moved on to bebo, or has been attracted to Facebook thanks to the new developer platform. Perhaps Kempo was never even fae myspace, but was a fiction dreamed up by an aggressive News Corp guerilla marketer. Anyway, if anyone can find Kempo, please let me know. I'd love to meet him and debate the effects of global connectivity on personal identity, or even just discuss the logic in saying your hometown consists solely of ones and zeroes in a Californian server farm. Either way, I'm sure he's a fascinating chap.

That is one sleazy looking photo of you up top, man. And I mean that in the best way possible.
Sleazy in a good way then? Like Ricky Martin?
I did wonder about it to be honest. I also meant to rotate it to other ones but haven't been bothered.
