An old man turned ninety-eight

He won the lottery and died the next day

It's a black fly in your Chardonnay

It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

And isn't it ironic... don't you think

Quote - Alanis Morissette

I thought i would use this time we have together today, to be ironic.

Mainly by writing on an online blog, about the joys of paper.

Paper is a wonderful thing. It lasts for years! We have fragments of St. Johns Gospel from 70AD (Just 40 years after the death of Jesus). We have had paper (of sort) since 3000BC !

Paper is a brilliant medium. The greatest pieces of art, literature, history and geography have all used paper. We would not have Shakespeare if it was not for paper. Leonardo Da vinci would be lost to us without paper (and what would we call the lead mutant turtle then!)

I, personally, am a big fan of Graphic Novels. Where would my time be spent if i was not reading them?

One comic book writer suggests that soon we will no longer use paper. That all books and art and comic books will be online.

HOGSWASH!

Long Live Paper!

Long live the novel and the comic and the map and the pieces of paper with paint slapped on them that children call their artwork.

Long Live Paper! (and long live Irony)

To finish on a quote that is both Ironic and about Paper...

"I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.” -Beryl Pfizer
