Post topics considered and rejected:- Stabbed again at my long post about Joy Division's "Closer", but chose to let it lie.
- A hi-larious post trying to explain the links between Harry Potter and Charlie Manson (starting with the scars). I tells ya, it's a crying shame I decided not to share that bit of genius with the world. Fleah.
- Discussion about Linux distributions, especially the nearly totalitarian nature of the Debian distribution. Just plain too deep geek for this place.
- And this one which I think I'll type up anyway:
They say -- and they being..well, it's best not to type their names out loud. An awful curse awaits those who name them. -- that a blog is a like a conversation. In my case, I agree, though not in the same sense. This site is like me trying to have conversations with people. I'm terrible at it. Like I explained with my inability to make phone calls, part of it is my conviction that no one wants to hear from me, but part is also because as I'm dialing it crashes in that I have no idea what to say. This is because there really is nothing to me. I'm completely devoid of anything other than reaction and cheap jokes.
Every morning when I sit at the blog, I can't think of a damn thing to say. I need a "conversation starter" like a silly news story. But even then, I find I don't actually say anything. It's all just one line stupid jokes that anyone could think of, and everyone probably already has.
Which sucks. I actually love to write. I want to be a writer, but that's rather hard to do when one has nothing to say, or everything one says has already been said. A million times. And better. And sometimes in other languages. But never in Klingon.
Anyway, back to your scheduled day.

Have you considered hard drugs? It provides inspiration for many "artists" out there.
Well if nothing else you're so tweaked that you just write write write and can skim off the cream later. Any nonsensical rambles can just be explained as "being in the moment" or "my unique perspective", etc.
It explains Phish fans.
