The Routinization of Mythology

One of the most salient consequences of the WWW/internet phenomenon I've
noticed is the increased efforts to self-mythologize, a highly amplified
version of tooting your own horn. And I suppose when a group is gathered
to discuss the works of an eventual mythic hero, the temptation to
self-mythologize in order to feel worthy is even that much stronger.
Unfortunately for aspiring mythic creature, the efforts are *extremely*
transparent and, for this observer, tipping to the pathetic. 

What will be will be. 

'Mornin' all.
