A Bunch of Things
By briantologist | September 29, 2003
I haven’t posted in a while because I’ve been haunted. By a number of things. Thing the first: One of my oldest and most trusted friends, whenever the topic of blogging comes up, always makes the following observation: “I just can’t understand why anybody would want to post their innermost thoughts for the entire world to read.” This, for me, is an absolutely airtight argument against keeping a blog.
Thing the second: Due mainly to thing the first, I’ve had a hard time caring about blog lately.
Thing the third: That ole black magic, not the good kind, looming again. My sweetie’s been feeling bad, real bad, and as the same black fungus monster haunts us both, it’s hard not to end up feeling real bad too when all I set out to do was empathize. (That’s where empathy gets you, people. Take note: When trying to help people with their problems, draw the line at sympathy.)
It is of course no fault whatsoever of my betrothed that I am feeling bad; sorry to even vaguely insinuate said. Truth is, I don’t know what twist of questionable genetics and shit luck leads some of us to wake up some mornings, imagine a thermonuclear explosion in downtown Tulsa, and close our eyes and smile, imagining the sweetness of being instantaneously incinerated while lying in bed spooning the one you love, listening to Bob Edwards talk about stuff.
At any rate, though, there it is again, and I ran out of magic prescription happy pills two weeks ago, and all I’ve got to say is thank god for the over-the-counter self-medication available from the good people at Johnnie Walker. And the good folks of Central America, who probably get paid significantly less than 12 bucks a pound for the coffee beans they bust their asses to grow every day. Ladies, gentlemen, senors y senoras, gracias para keeping my ass walking and talking.
Thing the fourth: I’ve been busy at work. I find my desire to spend fewer working hours checking my blog every ten seconds to see if anybody’s commented questionable, yet true. I don’t know what to make of it.
Thing the fifth: Dude, Temptation Island 3 wraps up tonight. Seriously, I’m busy.
