It's been too long.
I guess it's because I can never really think of anything terribly interesting to say. i mean, I had this idea that I could just list as many different words that all meant "penis", but would that hardly be quality entertainment? I mean, I know that everyone who reads blogs does so in order to really be enlightened by another person's unintelligible ramblings, so why can't I think of anything good to say?
I could rattle off all of my personal opinions and ideas about anything; religion, politics, the best place to get a burger, the most comfortable underwear. But why would anyone want to read that? But people pay fucking money for that kind of stuff. Like going to see a Henry Rollins spoken word show. Which I did in March. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Henry Rollins, he's a very smart man, very entertaining, and I enjoy his music. I also agree with a great many of his ideas, but the fact still remains, why are people willing to pay money to go listen to some other person's ideas? Are we so dependent on others that we're not able to form our own thoughts?
NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I think we just like hearing someone else say things we agree with, or having someone else present opinions for our inspection. That must be it, right?

Giiiiiiizmoooooo
What an excellent group of days. List of films watched with my friend Andy over the last two days (many of them not for the first time):
-Gremlins
-Equilibrium
-the Mist
-August Underground
-Cradle of Fear
All of them, wonderful films in their own special way. I cannot get the cheesy-80's synth-jam main theme of Gremlins out of my head now. So anyway, today is devoted to watching old episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond, drinking assloads of grape juice, listening to music, and catching up on B.K.'s blog.
Quote: "I only lied because I care about you; in fact, if I cared less, I wouldn't lie half as much."
This raises an interesting point. While most lies are told generally as an act of self-preservation, some lies are told so that the person being lied to feelings' will not get hurt. Does this make the act of lying in this case acceptable? At heart, you are trying to be a 'good' person and help the other person. So I guess that should make it okay.
It has now been since mid-March since I've eaten meat. Being vegetarian is going mostly fine so far, although I really miss peameal bacon.
