I do like the idea of blogs. This is not an ego driven blog but I will admit that I have a huge ego. I bring this up because I’m not sure if my interest is waning in exposing my life to you all. There was a time when this site was getting nearly 2000 visitors a day but that number has dropped off to nearly nothing (is that my ego talking?). I’m pretty sure it’s because of the lack of updates. The lack of updates are not because of health issues because I feel great now. I’m pretty sure it’s because I’m a lazy bastard. If that’s the case I say stick to what you’re good at. END?
Hi ya’ll. Been very busy hence the lack of updates to this site. I do occasionally have the time to think of it but laziness prevents me from updating. It’s a tough job to be a slave to laziness but I think I’m up to the task. I’ll make a quick update that kind of wanders around and let you try to make sense of it.
• Work has been consuming so much of my waking hours that I should complain except for the fact that I really enjoy it. • My furniture buying spree is at an end (I hope) so I have to find something else to do on Sundays. • My Mom’s birthday is coming up soon, Happy Birthday Mom!!!. Every year I’m late but my insane girlfriend forces me to be considerate to my family and friends. I keep telling my girlfriend it’s dangerous for me to be on time with the holiday and birthdays because my family doesn’t expect it and it could cause serious harm to them. • We’re planing a weekend dive trip to Okinawa in October, the weekend I had wanted to go is a three day weekend so that means the price is double. No exaggeration, that weekend the price is about 100,000 yen (about $840 US) the next weekend the price is 51000 yen, guess what weekend I’ll go. The island I want to go has a large manta ray population in September/October and I’ve also wanted to dive with mantas. I’ll post the pictures when I have them of course. Enough rambling this is a ranting site so when I collect my thoughts I have plenty to rant about.
Once upon a time there was a kingdom, called Blogland whose whole population was happy and content blogging. You see, they think they found an answer to Life the Universe, and Everythingtm and it wasnt 42. It was blogging. If they all blogged, the reasoning was, that they could come up with the complete works of William Shakespeare. Their system of commerce was built on blogging. So they blogged all day and they blogged all night, they blogged to eat and they blogged to shit, they even blogged for sex. This, of course is a mythical land being as they are happy and content and blogging for sex never works (the keyboard gets sticky). They all knew how to express themselves but not to use the rights others had fought and died for. Their rights arent being stripped away in the name of defense. I digress, topic for another day.
Did the answer fail to answer?
If we take a sentence or just a word from each person wouldnt we come with volumes of classics; Dickens, Shakespeare, even Stephen King should be in there somewhere (probably chasing Shakespeare with a Buick). Maybe they did it? What gauge of measure would we use to decide that the bloggers in Blogland did it? Ever since I became more interested in my blog I have been taking the chance to read other blogs. Some are very articulate and some others are the product of sick minds, and others are plain bland (this one comes to mind). There is so much energy being put on the Net I wonder does it every get reclaimed? Maybe readers reclaim the energy, I dont know. This is so stream of consciousness that I not really thing but just trying to see if my subconscious knows something that it´s not telling me. This whole blog thing started for me as an experiment, to see if I could have a conversation with a word-processor program. It has proved to be possible and I get the answers that to want to get, the answers I give me.
Lets go back to the million monkeys bloggers in Blogland.
Theyre expending great amounts of energy banging at keyboards. Typing gibberish like “rhgoireughirughiguq08oiwu24uhq4jihosj”. A big problem speaking a language that was indirectly influenced by the Romans, in writing we have spaces to separate words while the presiding gibberish had none. There are cultures that get along fine without these spaces, at no time resembling gibberish. Japanese is one 通り過ぎることができて嬉しい。 I think that says Glad you could come by or something about a bloggers butt. If we were more acclimated to this manner of writing maybe the bloggers already did it and we just discounted it as gibberish. Maybe the problem isnt spacing but that its too easy to re-write anothers work. They may be inventing a new language that will replace all languages before.
The people of Blogland have some similarities with monkey, one of which is the smell (too busy to shower as they must blog for sex). They and I are both banging on this keyboard device with no clear idea of when the finish will be, if it will end good or bad. Maybe the bloggers of Blogland and the monkeys shouldnt know when they are done, they may surprise us all with what they come up next.
We’ve all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.”
