I was replying to Scott's post in Decidedly Undecided, and I started thinking it's nice to be posting again. Even if people were to find my opinions funny or misguided or flat out wrong, if the thought is out there, people can see it, and if I have an error in my thinking, maybe they can help me see things in a different light. I like that.

Then I thought that I wonder if Scott is slightly miffed that I seem to not be able to be around on Funeratic very often to converse and interact with my friends, but when new people I barely know show interest in Funeratic while looking me up on the web, I will come back and post for their benefit. Am I a terrible friend. (Lack of question mark intentional)

I think I need to hit the road and head home, but traffic is crazy.

I think if bonus posts had songs of the day, the song for this post would be something by They Might Be Giants. Probably "Bangs". I do like "Bangs".

Well, I gotta hit the oooooooooooooooold dusty trail. But remember the words of that philosopher mathematician Blaise Pascal "I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter."

I am never miffed, slightly or otherwise, when people aren't around any more. People are busy and they have lives. If there's something specific that's making them want to leave the site that I could fix, like a frustrating game rule or a bad piece of UI functionality or something, then I suppose I'd be miffed if they didn't tell me so that I could fix it for them instead of losing them. But regardless, you're back now and I'm always happy when someone comes back, or joins in the first place. :-)

23-VIII-2008 or Seen On T-shirt

This is not a great day for writing for me, as the loyal readers may or may not remember. I leave you with this phrase I saw on a t-shirt today: Life is like a jalapeno pepper. What you do today can burn your ass tomorrow. Go »

23-VIII-2006 or Please think for me, I can't bear to.

Work is going to kill me! I've been out in the sun too long. I need a quick break. Go »

17-VII-2007 or To See Or Not To See...(SPOILERS?)

I have two revelations to make, one of which is truly momentous and possibly a sign of the Apocalypse, the other is just me being stupid, essentially. I'll deal with the stupid one first, just so that the second will be even more earth-shattering! And I know that most of you will be disappointed by the second revelation, after I've hyped it up so much, but trust me, to me if to no one else, this truly is an amazing turn of events. Go »

13-VII-2014 or What The Hell Am I Doing With My Life

Title refers to a line from the Lonely Island song "After Party" as I have no questions about what I am doing with my life. I feel like I have three or so on-line communities that I post to, apologizing for the long absence, and claiming I'm going to start coming back and not ignoring the valuable friends I haven't spoken to in ages. And, typically, this lasts a few weeks to a month, and then I am doing other things, or getting busy, or just feeling blah, and there I go dropping off the face of the Earth for another extended absence.

20-IX-2006 or Man, those Samoans sure are a surly bunch.

That was the punchline to a Bloom County comic I read many years ago. It always cracks me up...which makes no sense, really. Go »
