The Real Story Behind the Jesse Jackson Controversy Friday, July 18, 2008

While everyone is so focused on what it is that Jesse Jackson said in a recent media flap, people are missing the real story here; who is that other guy? No, really... in every media outlet I can imagine, they have only referred to that 'other guy' as 'that other guy'. Will he go down in a history the same way as 'that apple' did when it hit Sir Isaac Newton's head that led to him discovering (more like giving it a name) gravity? A real investigative reporter will go after that other guy and find out his name.

The Christening Wednesday, July 9, 2008

Starting yet again a new blog, and I can't but help wondering (a) what keeps driving me to blog in the first place, and (b) who's actually reading this AND remembers it five minutes later?

To answer my own rhetorical question (and I'm starting to think 'rhetorical question' is the code word for 'question no one gives enough of a damn about to answer in the first place'), blogging definitely keeps a playa sane at times. Especially at work (and I'm going to step away from my desk for a second on purpose just to see if the monkey-mouthed bastard I share an office with really does be all up on my pc whenever I walk away from it; I'll know if he looked if the shit-faced glances I normally get from him consists of 15% more shit when I return).

... and I'm back; and yes he did look.

Anyway, blogging also helps me to not get caught up in the conventional use of the english language, but instead I can focus all of my literary energy on talking shit and writing detailed plans on how best to choke the hell out of this dude I share the office with (I know he saw that, because now he has taken to looking at my screen while I'm still sitting here).
