Yah, gonna keep doing this.

Although I have nothing major to say today, I'd like to mention to my phantom readers that I do intend to continue this.  You see, I dropped the ball -- I've provided irregular updates at best.  If someone had, in fact, come to this blog early on, they may have been intrigued, and then....I let them down.

I apologize.

So even though I've got nothing life-changing to say (I prefer to post life-changing things, which probably makes me a narcissist, except that I'm not), I'll just leave with this:  I shall post daily, unless stricken by illness, knock wood.

Oh, and that reminds me: the whole goal here is to get this to be all web 2.0, users-create-content, that kinda thing.  Not because I hope to profit off of you, financially -- but because I really enjoy philosophizing, both in general, and while inebriated.  And I also like to hear others thoughts.

And also, you don't have to be stoned or a stoner to post something.  In fact, the "stoner" thing is more of a gag than a realistic angle -- but the only way I can think of to describe the kind of ideas and conversations that belong here is, "the kind of things people propose, discuss, and debate while stoned."


For those who feel left out (and there's nothing wrong with not puffing -- indeed, its to be admired, in its way, but we'll get into that later) -- here's how you can think like a stoner:  let your mind drawl.  Let it wander, if you can, and think about what things are, what they mean, how they're connected, and so on.  For example, what does it mean to be stopped at a red traffic light (beg pardon if this is too specific to Anglophone countries, but I believe the red light to be fairly universal) -- to be stopped at a red light, late at night, with nobody around?  Should you just go?  What do you believe about laws, in general?  Are laws meaningful because of something inherent, or simply because we're afraid of the consequences?  Would you murder someone if there was no law preventing it?  (I'd hope not!).  What about -- but I don't want to write MY answers, strictly, I want yours.

From this moment on, I shall do all I can to make this an active blog.  I'll put a daily reminder on my calendar (I really recommend keeping a digital calendar, by the way) to alert me to do this, every day.  And yeah, I'm going to tweak the look, here -- unless people truly like it.  I'm annoyed at how sloppily I did the logo, and most everything else.  I consider myself a very decent (ok, very good) computer artist.  I can do better than that.  I'd love to come up with a great logo for this blog, but all I've come up with so far is various (artistic as they may be), well, asses.  And I think that might be a bit over the top.  Or not?  Let me know.

That's all for now, I reckon.  I'm going to go drink a Four Loko.  Its ok -- I'm of age.  Granted, that doesn't excuse my hilarious choice of alcohol, but, then, uhh...for $2.50, its the equivilant of a bottle of wine (close, I've checked).  And it goes down smooth with....queso dip on white bread.

Indeed, life is full of contradictory things.  By day, I'm a butler -- by night, I'm writing about white bread, and white-bread.  (Get it?)

Oh, and one more thing: I'm going to start releasing some "open source" beats on here.  Any street poets out there who could use a little backing trackage?  I just got Beatmaker 2 for the iphone (scoff if you will -- this puppy looks to be sweet, and its predecessor taught me how to use the Akai sampler!).  Anyway, yah, freebies, musicwise.  Second freebie: if you have an idea for a logo or other piece of artwork, and need someone to do it, hell, just ask me.  I love doing logos, and -- believe it or not -- I know my shit.  One of these days, I'll do some tutorials or something -- on Blender.  And if I can teach you to use Blender, I can teach you how to operate a fighter jet.  Break!
