i think that i've decided to actually start a friends list on this journal, instead of only rereading my own posts ad nauseam as with the last one.
i hold the belief that it may slow my descent into the intellectual narcissistic hermitage i've been toying with over the years, delaying its inevitable end in the abandonment of all clothing save a robe and all reading material that doesn't fit within the parameters of poorly written conspiracy theorem, or the hurriedly scrawled oft circuitous babbling of my own mind.
so when random people stumble across my ramblings and take the time to feign interest, i will do so in turn, with moderate enthusiasm.
im up to 2, and as its not really possible to calculate a percentage increase from zero, i can assign any statistical number to my new popularity without fear of reprisal from the barking dogs of the mathematic community.
i'm going to go with 1600%. this journal is 1600% more popular than my last, in terms of mutual acknowledgment.
moving on...
in texas, grade schools have started to ban hugging.
bout time.
i always thought that it was disturbingly hot watching two 9 year olds locked in an intense embrace, their lithe, nimble little bodies rubbing against one another, completely naive of the discomfort caused by their obscene display in the nipples of their intent viewers.
torrid, thats what prepubescent hugs are.
absolutely torrid.
i hope the ban crosses the borders of texas and spreads throughout the civilized world.
and speaking of dogshit states that no one cares about, did you know that 190 proof grain alcohol is legal in new jersey, just a hop skip and jump from mine own beloved philadelphia?
i had no idea until a recently received, and quite excited, phone call from a new jersey liquor store. (the call was from someone in the store, not the store itself. liquor stores cannot operate cellular phones. their fingers are too large. but don't bring it up in front of them, they're sensitive.)
though i am but a shade of my former self drinking wise, i don't think that this is an opportunity that i can in good conscience pass up, or a challenge from which i can retreat without shame.
yes, i was teetering on the precipice of calling back and rescinding my complicity in this evenings endeavor, but no, i will not.
this is happening. and god help the souls of those that are left in my wake.
