Pages Of Old

From what little I know of pre-history, man and woman roamed the earth for hundreds and thousands of years, probably in small tribes, maybe two hundred or so people in a group. During all of this time all the collective wisdom was handed down mouth to mouth in the oral tradition (calm down you perverts). All the things that you needed to know in order to survive as a human, it was either shown or told to you in an old age kind of parrot fashion.Whether it was to find a boy or a girl (whatever you're preference was/is)how to have sex, have a baby, raise your family, deal with your neighbours how to find shelter, water and food.How to care for the elderly and sick, bury your dead. How to fight to protect your own, work sing dance get fucked up (even in the good old days they knew how to party) play twister..... ....what do you mean that they didn't have twister? and generally just interact (in a good way) with good old mother earth!

Now its at this moment in time I must say that I find the term pre-history, not only hilarious but truly fucked up! as to suggest that bugger all happened before five thousand years ago must surely put you into (must resist the R word) creationist territory (damn I see death threats ahead again) I suppose nothing freaky happened until we actually stood up and wore clothes!

Any way I'm led to believe that this might have gone on for just a tad, and all was good and stable, peace on earth and all that jazz, but then with a hop and a skip and a massive jump forward the need for more food and therefore more land to actually grow the food that was required, we allegedly moved forward, well then the old ways started to disappear, Our ancestors started to huddle together in larger groups in villages, towns and finally cities.Soon the precious knowledge that had been passed down with that great oral tradition and informed those groups started to be written down and not all people could read. The skills soon began to fade.and that priceless identity with it. The happy life that came with it faded with the lifestyle itself! So what are we left with now I hear you ask (damn those voices in my head!) not alot really when you consider except a self destructive paranoid species, who has grown more flawed with each passing generation. I happen to think because we don't have to remember anything but the pertinent things we will continue our inevitable fall from grace!

Oh and while it's in my head why don't you just pop over to Blurb.com and buy (ooops did you lot really think I had gotten serious all of a sudden....suckers!) my books that just so happen to be filled to the brim of that wisdom that used to be passed down orally from  our peers, but has been written down to preserve it for upright reading population of planet earth, now hurry along as all of these books are limited editions of 100000000000 copies each.

Wow two mid week blogs on the trot that are I think heading towards a sense of humour, please don't tell anyone they might expect it all the time! and yes for all of you who still partake, the name game is still play get this one suckers, until the next time ...Toodles!
