Been thinking about just what one of these things are lately. they are pretty interesting to me. I like mine, it helps me think through experiences and lets the few people that know its here take a look and see what Ive deemed noteworthy enough in my life to write a post about, but the blog world is pretty screwed up.
We get on these things and write out the drab details of our emotional struggles in parables of sorts so as to inform / confuse the people that we think will read these things. I think blogs make people think that they are deeper than they really are. I do sometimes. I find myself thinking, "Wow, that was a profound thought, I'll blog about that." Thats kind of a bunch of bull crap though. "Self improvement is masturbation." That's what Tyler Durden says at one point in Fight Club (honestly the most thought provoking movie Ive re-watched in a long long time) and I wonder if blogs aren't the same thing. I wonder if thats why I do it, just to make myself feel better about not having many actual relationships with real people. Its an interesting idea at least. One to blog on...aren't I so deep and smart and cool because I thought of it?

a few random thoughts...
1. I don't think I'll be a home-owner this year, and Im ok with that. But I think I will live alone next year.
2. One of my best friends is sick and I hate it and it sucks.
3. Its holy week and I barely care, and I don't like that.
4. I will soon own Tetris for the NES, I paid less than $6 for it.
5. I miss this place a lot of the time, but not really.
6. Probably the best sentence I've heard in quite sometime..."Sometimes I had to use a pencil to get the poop out of the teeth." (Sentence taken from Bonnie's account of the joys of electric cat litter boxes.)
7. Ive made about a hundred Cadillac commercials in the past two days.
8. Soon enough Lightning Bolts will be up on this blog, and it will be the single coolest thing that I have ever done, or will be likely to do.
9. All the places in Birmingham that are cool and cheap to live are being sold and developed into high end lofts or condos. This bothers me. What makes Birmingham cool is the fact that its cheap enough for all kinds of different people to live. If all the cheap places are converted for rich ass hole people, the people that make Birmingham worth living in won't be able to live here. Again this is starting to bother me.
