Oh, so now you're blogging, eh? How...original.

Jesus Christ. Like anybody cares about another freaking blog. The internet, once so full of promise [1], is now home to an ever-growing collection of yahoos spewing mind-numbing bullshit (like this, this and this) 24/7/365...all in the hopes of racking up the pageviews/clickthroughs which, in turn (if you're lucky), translate to $$$. And that's just the productive side of the web. Some sites seem to exist solely for someone's not-so-buried, yet-deeply-troubled/ing subconscious to scream pointlessly into the void.

Horrifying.

And yet. I figure, if you can't beat 'em...join 'em.

Welcome to my blog, you sorry, sorry bastards.

So, here's to mediocre personal journaling masquerading as witty cultural critique, here's to wasting your precious time, here's to ad infinitum relinking...here's to my not-so-buried, yet-deeply-troubled/ing subconscious screaming into the void.

Yeah.  And:  here's a picture of Jesus. Because the nice older lady who knocked on our door the other day gave it to me. I didn't have to heart to tell her that my soul is already spoken for...by Satan.

[1] As if. If you truly believe the internet was ever destined to be a virtual Valhalla filled with wisdom and good feelings on every page, then I invite you to check out this short history of the Internet.  For an old fuck like me, it's interesting to remember that Drudge started peddling his rightwing bile in 1998 and to see that the financial possibilities of the web started way back in 1995 when both eBay and Amazon got their start.
