Thanks Herman!

I have no objection to any person’s religion, be it what it may, so long as that person does not kill or insult any other person, because that other person don’t believe it also. But when a man’s religion becomes really frantic; when it is a positive torment to him; and, in fine, makes this earth of ours an uncomfortable inn to lodge in; then I think it high time to take that individual aside and argue the point with him.

HERMAN MELVILLE, Moby Dick

Uh-Oh! Now You Guys are Screwed!

I've just downloaded a dashboard widget to help me post directly to my blog. I can now instantly post directly or to a draft which I can proof later. This is far too convenient, if that's possible. I suspect you all, or, yawl (not the sailboat) will be hearing from me quite a bit now that I have this.

Cheers

Insomnia

I can't sleep. I can't sleep now, I couldn't sleep last night, or the night before. I don't know why, I'm exhausted and I shouldn't only be able to sleep, it should be nearly impossible for me to be awake. But here I am blogging.

Since this is my blog and I can say whatever I want I'm just going to run a little stream of conscience exercise for a while and maybe I'll push the sleep button in my head in the process.

Here I go:

1. Who is arrogant enough to think that anyone besides their mommy is interested enough in what they have to say to put it on the web in a blog. Cocky bastards, the lot of em.

2. If you're not using Mozilla's Firefox, you are wrong. It's soooo much better than explorer and though it isn't quite to the point of A.I. just yet, I swear the fucker knows what I like.

3. If you have Firefox and you don't have StumbleUpon, you're still wrong and you should take action immediately. GO NOW!

4. I sold three guns to pay for boat repairs this week. I'm sick in the head, must be. I love my guns and two of them were gifts. Gone now.

5. Music that queues up automatically on myspace home pages is annoying. You're eating up my bandwidth. Stop it.

6. I've had two bicycles, three skateboards, and a compound miter saw stolen from my house since September. Maybe I'm subconsciously staying awake to catch the fucker stealing my stuff so I can shoot him.

7. Can't shoot the thief, don't have any more guns. Damn!

8. Could I really shoot someone over a bicycle? In the good ole days of the Marine Corps, I think I could've. I don't know about today. I could hit them with a bat, though. And I would have to since I don't have any guns.

9. My truck is 10 years old and I put every single mile on it. That's kinda cool. Are you Stumbling yet?

10. Hybrid cars are ridiculous, don't buy one yet. Wait until the actually offset some pollution/carbon/petrol use. Besides, they're all so damn ugly.

11. No matter what "Mother Earth News" tells you, you can not retire and live off of selling chicken eggs, you can not make a living selling herbs from you window box to local restaurants, you can't have a composting/incinerating toilet in most towns/cities so don't ask, and ... I'll be back to this one.

12. If you do not like Monty Python we are not friends. There will be no negotiating this.

24. I can make my list out of order if I want to.

14. You may have had fun but I have really had fun. The illegal kind that you can't really talk about until your kids are 18 in case they overhear.

15. I wonder who invented darts. I'll bet it's an ancient game. Suppose I could Google it but I'm not gonna.

16. Isn't it cool that "google" is a noun and a verb?

17. Sometimes I wish my name was a verb, but in a good way. I know someone who shares this wish with me and it came true, to his detriment. He puked into his own shoe and forever more if you "Grosso", to me, it will mean that you've puked into you own shoe.

18. The "grosso" happened at a hash.

19. If you're not hashing with the winchester hash house harriers, you better be hashing somewhere. If you don't know what I'm talking about come on over to www.winchesterh3.com

20. I'm Rick James, Bitch!

21. That was funny!

22. I didn't feed my dog tonight. Did I feed her last night?

23. Yes.

25. I didn't forget that 24 already has a home!

26. I'm going to make a movie and you might not be in it. You know who you are.

27. Making movies is hard but you get to make people do just about anything including take off their clothes in a public library after hours. Which is HOT!

28. I probably won't be in my movie either.

29. I think I have to go. I'm not sleepy but I'm bored of streaming my conscience. You probably are, too.

Bye.

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

30. Doogie Howser invented blogging.

I'll be blogging soon.

So I've been blogging on myspace.com for a little while. Now I'm going to blog here for a while and see who is listening.

Cheers,
Brian
