In Which Our Hero Learns How to Kill a Man With a Wet Tortilla
Ok, ok! So here's the dilemma I'm having at the moment, RE: Updating this site. While I don't have any sort of defined purpose for this blog (railing against injustice, perceived or otherwise, posting pictures of marmots in compromising positions, etc.), I do have a rather specific list of things that I do NOT want to use this thing for.
First and foremost on the list is an exhaustively complete accounting of what I've done during the course of the day. For some reason, I completely lack the gene (or talent) to pull meaning out of everyday events, to imbue the simple acts of humanity with a deeper purpose.
If a dude falls down on the street and lands in a pile of fruit, I am going to point and laugh. I am not going to stand there and philosophize about the plight of poor farmers, who are forced to sell their wares on the street due to the underhanded scheming of the ginormous agroconglomerates, nor am I going to worry about the sadly deteriorating state of the sidewalk, which could very well degenerate into a shouting, teary version of me stumbling into a city council meeting and screaming about how taxes need to be raised to fill the pot holes that are endangering innocent civilians in our fair city. In short, I am not that guy. Reflection is for more important things, and words are for informing and entertaining, not for boring the pants off of poor schmucks who stumbled across my site via the search term "gnomes licking ice cream" (this is true, by the way).
What was I saying? Oh yes. Pointing and laughing, and the occasional mime joke. I'll try to do a bit more of that in future. Promise.
p.s.: i just corrected a typo: "entertainting". for some reason, that word really appeals to me...
