Well well. Sunday afternoon, an annoying itchy cold, a new blog, and some free time. I am probably going to see The Fountain tonight. That’s a film for all you morons. It has gotten some bad reviews but I am hopeful after watching the first ten minutes via some crap cam rip. But as they say, “It’s the experience that counts” so tonight I’ll be spending some of my father’s hard earned cash and watching it in an actual theater.
Other than that, my website is down. My host is a bit of a lazy man when it comes to maintaining his server. I might actually have to pay for hosting I suppose. God forbid the internet costing me money in ANY WAY AT ALL. It should be like the air.
So for now I’ll make do with a variety of these crappy little web communities like myspace, and facebook, and blogspot, and this one, whatever it’s called again. There really should not be so many people blogging out there.
I find it scary, bizillions of people writing their little diaries and notes about what music they like, all addressed to nobody in particular. Saying that, I look back at my rants on www.contactjuggling.org and it says someone looked at them, or something looked, 1700 times. So maybe that means something. Maybe they were just there for the links to whatever sad thing I found interesting. Bah, well whatever.
We all know nobody blogs to make other people happy or gd forbid, informed. At least not the humans. We write these things to vent our thoughts and frustrations so that we can avoid doing something about those very same issues. That is fine by me. I’m going to Prague later this month. No particular reason. Anyone know of anything fun to do in Prague? I’ve looked a little bit but it just seemed like it will be nice and cold and maybe snowy.
I do not have a winter coat.

Yeah, the internet is full of millions of voices screaming out, waiting to be suddenly silenced. Or something.
The whole blog thing has so many people screaming out to be heard that each individual is suddenly worthless. You scream as loudly as you can in this virtual world but there are so many other gaping maws belching out their own issues that you become nothing more then another piece of white noise. Any reader can discard you the moment they disagree or dislike you because there’s bound to be someone else they do agree with and it’s only a click away.
At any rate, it all depends on how you look at the thing and what you want to accomplish. I’ve got my own personal goals with my site (and I call it a “site” not a “blog” because I’ve got my own fucking url! It’s all mine
) and that means that I’m not judging the validity of it on how many random hits I get from people I don’t know or, frankly, care about. I’m also careful to actually say something beyond just ranting about what’s going on in my personal life. It’s not my diary and, I imagine, most people don’t want to read my diary. My diary wouldn’t be terribly interesting, quite frankly. I mean, who wants to read about a super-spy millionaire who’s also a race car driving brain surgeon? Exactly.
