The Ghost of Blog Past

so you're forced, *FORCED* to write inane blog posts when you obviously have nothing to say at all. you just pick a topic off the top of your head and start writing about it, hoping that something interesting comes out. hoping that someone reads it and posts some sort of comment.

then you get all into it and install movable type and tweak your templates and start frequenting blogs.

all that is just a little lead up to:

i'm meeting ajax and shannon for drinks tonight. a blogger hoe-down. i've met bloggers before (leila), but i don't think she even reads my blog. ajax and shannon and i regularly read each others blogs and post rude comments. so it's sort of like we're pen pals. who are going to meet.

it feels, i must admit, a little like a blind date.

shannon requested i wear my caveman outfit, but i decided the leopard skin loin cloth would not go over so well at work. i think i'll recognize ajax from pictures i've seen, but i have no idea what shannon looks like. for some reason i believe she is blonde and tall. i think perhaps ajax told me this. i would promise to take and post pictures of us, but i forgot my camera so you all are shit out of luck.

god. this is an insipid blog post. i have not made up even one word!

i am also getting kinda excited about going to mexico.

and i'm getting a little weirded out about all the political movies lately. it was cool when Roger & Me came out. and F911 seemed like it was going to totally suck me in, but then i forgot to go see it...

but now, Outfoxed and this movie about Kerry and all this other stuff on the horizon: goddamn those bastards! they've turned my movie into one big political ad! as if i don't get enough fucking politics in this stupid country. now i have to decide between seeing Spiderman 2 and the Corporation? uh? what the FUCK? i mean, i liked the Corporation, but i got to snuggle up a hell of a lot more during Spiderman 2. and, kids, why would i want to spend $10 to watch political ads? bush is spastic cowboy with a head full of rabid stoats -- do i need to pay to find out specifically why?

oh, fine. i mean, i understand and i see the good in it, but i don't like it. i think F911 is the cinematic equivelent of Power Rangers breakfast cereal. we're just being marketed to in a new way. box office tallys now reflect political strength. so if democrats have better filmmakers their policy will prevail?

what ever happened to real leaders? and do not even begin to tell me you think either bush or kerry is a real leader. i would stop and think before i asked either of them to watch the dog for a weekend.

anyone with a half a brain has avoided entering politics... hey! i have half a brain! i should be president!

i had my employee evaluation today. i am officially excellent. maybe i should be president? i would run the country via blog.

vote for me!
