Weather the Weather

*Licks finger & holds it up in the air* Yep, the wind is definitely blowing from... who the hell knows where. Weathermen certainly don't. They can't be trusted.

Got focus?

I've had this idea for a while now (since I was 12 or so) that I'd like to write a book. The problem with wanting to write a book, though, is knowing what you want to write about because you can't very well write a book about nothing... or can you?

In other words, for example...

In keeping with the random nature of this blog, I'd like to begin by saying that if I do actually write a book, it will necessarily be a book that does not take itself too seriously (i.e. I will not take it very seriously and am therefore not sure what the draw would be in reading it...).

On that note,... well, actually, this next bit is totally unrelated, but it's fun to lead into an idea with "on that note...".  So, on that note, I have to admit that I enjoy figuring out where very common expressions came from originally.  As a matter of fact, just yesterday I was putting those Google Guru skills to work looking up where "ok" or "okay" might have originated and was not too surprised to find out that no one really knows.  I wasn't surprised because that is the nature of language... it's so fluid and evolves in the most bizarre way.  Mispronunciations, perpetual misspellings, misunderstandings, the need to create a word for something that previously didn't exist or hadn't been quantified semantically... And there I just digressed into a nerdy wonderland of thoughts... coming back now... (Click "read more" to get the rest of the story!)

Revolutions

Life seems to completely change every 6-12 months... I just can't figure out if that's interesting or scary...
