Must spend more time thinking, or at least more time recording thoughts.  Thoughts flit in 

and out of my brain like butterflies, and a notepad shall be my net.  I'm convinced (either 

because I think I'm right, or want to to make myself feel good) that I do have tons of ideas 

worth writing down, and 99.44% of them float away into the cosmos.  I've really got to set some time

aside to write, too.  Maybe in five years, once it's no longer relevant.



So I sometimes like to call myself a student of modern trash pop culture.  It doesn't necessarily 

have to be trashy, I guess,  but most pop culture seems to be.  Also a student of the modern world

at large; a halfhearted zeitgeist chaser, if you will. I feel sometimes like I should have a firmer 

grasp on the influences of all this stuff, like, I don't know, read more old books, watch more old 

movies, old old old.  But I'm a child of this ritalin nation, and I get bored of them too easily.  

Too obtuse to get through, or just too dull.  



Bill Watterson: . . . a 30 second commercial exceeds the average American attention span 

                      by a good 29 seconds



all you who actually read this drivel;

don't read too much into the song of the day



listening to [change]

makes me happy, think of good times in high school

and sad, thinking of things that've been lost

and glad, thinking of things that are to come



I miss ya, G.
