"We live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind - mass merchandising, advertising, politics conducted as a branch of advertising, the instant translation of science and technology into popular imagery, the increasing blurring and intermingling of identities within the realm of consumer goods, the preempting of any free or original imaginative response to experience by the television screen. We live inside and enormous novel. For the writer in particular it is less and less necessary for him to invent the fictional content of his novel. The fiction is already there. The writer's task is to invent the reality." -James Graham Ballard-

I like the way this holds a secret . . how we can apply any theme or circumstance of our own and find it fits just the same as any other.

Nice picture my friend. It does look like something you would see after you've been hit on your head with a really heavy object. lol.

Maybe you intended it this way, but the image has that sort of slick advertising apprehension of "coolness" you might expect to find alongside some kind of urban related ad copy. That world ruled by fictions quote is excellent, and it seems this fictional world has gotten more fictional since I was born into it some 50 years ago.
