these modern times

i keep thinking that i am going to start making short and snappy posts. sharp little zingers both clever and ironic that stab through all the crap right into the very heart of the issue. with my oratorical nature, though, i don't really think i have the talent for that. and in these modern times, i'm not sure there is a concise beating heart to every issue anyway. it's more like a long, tangled, fibrous cancer mass entwining an abundance of conflicting data and convoluted facts. how do you find the little mutation that started it all?

so what are the cancers nagging at my mind today? take your pick. i'm about to go on and on about wars and terrorism and who cares if joe lieberman splits the democratic party etc... but the funny thing about this dumb blog is that a lot of people that i lost contanct with over the years have found me again by reading my obnoxious posts on some of my friends' blogs. so now we are all checking each others' blogs and emailing each other now, and it's pretty cool. i guess it has pre-empted all my brooding about how stupid everything is.

even though it seems like the government knows how many moles are on your butt, and every heroin addict has all your credit card numbers, it's pretty cool to stay in touch with people so easily now. starting next week i promise i am going to make a regular blog with pictures in it and information about stuff other than late night quasi-political rants. i am even going to figure out how to use the spell check button.
