"I've worked enough in marketing to know that everyone breaks at some point, that no one needs anything outside food, air, water, and shelter, and that our whole lives are corporation-conducted symphonies. The only way for this to end is for the president of Coca-Cola to stand up before the world and announce that everyone should just start drinking water."
I look forward to this day too, Tim.

pretty sure I washed it twice this morning
Dear human condition,
What the hell, man? I don't mean to overstep my bounds, but I think you really dropped the ball here. Of all the different things that could have encapsulated the emotional baseline of our species, you chose some pretty rough stuff: loss, malaise, the ever-present feeling of want for things you can't have, etc. Why couldn't the human condition have been something a bit tamer, like "that feeling you get when you're taking a shower, and you aren't sure if you washed your hair so say aw hell and just wash it but you still kinda think you might have just washed it twice"? I think that would have been a whole lot less unpleasant for a lot of folks.
You know, it's not too late to change your image, man. Give it a thought, yeah? Lemme know what you think.
Regards,
S.

Mysteries abound
Going to Pennsic this year. Not very sure why! Right now I think primarily it is sort of a fitness goal. Also I may do the Dungus House, which is a stupid idea that may have the benefit of keeping me entertained.

What I'm trying to say is,
the events in my life feel like a big deal to me. I'm more than happy to grant you the same leeway.

Say no more
I need to learn (another) instrument so I can write catchy songs with powerful lyrics! I was listening to Black by Okkervil River (thanks, Pat) over and over (and over) again, and that is what I felt! But I am kind of concerned that my life is sort of a cushy, uneventful joke. Now, I don't feel that way - from my perspective, every third day is a goddamn struggle against my own molehills-made-mountains. Now, does "powerful" necessarily mean "personal?" I'm thinking it probably does! So that's why I need to be able to do it on my own. Maybe my mom will teach me piano! This is a very weird post, it is not my writing voice!

Whoops!
I am so very fickle with my creative projects. Yesterday I wrote most of a goofy song, decided to see if I could invent a bassline or simple melody on the DS KORG, and get a recording up of something, even though it'd be far from finished, and get it out that night because I was super excited. I never got past writing half of it because I spontaneously decided it was either too silly or just bad. OH WELL. You can see my list of abandoned blogs, but I often think about doing entries for them. Today I need to prepare my D&D campaign. The remainder of this entry has been omitted due to conflict of interest.

New blog
To be totally honest, I just like starting new blogs! I kind of miss my old Myspace blog, which I used for many things, some of which I don't want to bring over into a Facebook context. So I'll be using this one as my place to complain about my life on cold Monday mornings.
Wondering about the title? And the url is just something I thought would be easy to remember.
