escape to insanity

And… I’m back. For now. I know I’ve been silent for quite a while, but mostly because I’ve been busy and haven’t had time to write much of anything on here. As if I have anything interesting to write about. But I’d kind of like to get back into posting here.

Most likely this is going to take a different direction from this point on. Rather than big long novel-length posts, it’ll probably be more along the lines of blurbs, quotes, excerpts, mini-rants, and the like. Stuff that I want to get down on paper (ok, not actual paper) but is too long for Twitter to handle.

Starting with this. For some reason, I thought this conversation today was funny. It’s been that sort of day.

14:34:44: Jen: hey
14:40:20: Me: whassup?
14:40:32: Jen: how much do you know about the us and metric systems?
14:40:37: Jen: why haven’t we just given in already??
14:40:44: Jen: why do we insist on having us units too
14:40:47: Me: because we’re ‘merica.
14:40:51: Jen: that was all - just a rant
14:40:52: Me: we dont do things like everyone else.
14:41:06: Me: it’d be easier. i mean… we’ve already got 2-liter bottles of soda.
14:41:17: Me: right next to the 20 ounce bottles.
14:41:35: Jen: ha right makes perfect sense
14:41:35: Me: you can buy cocaine by the kilo. so that’s metric.
14:41:44: Jen: TOM
14:41:48: Jen: why do you know that
14:41:49: Jen: lol
14:41:50: Me: just sayin.
14:41:52: Jen: ha
14:41:55: Jen: right… okay

Remember, remember, the fifth of November,
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.

I do not have a psychiatrist and I do not want one, for the simple reason that if he listened to me long enough, he might become disturbed.

We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.

- Jean-Paul Sartre

Speech is conveniently located midway between thought and action, where it often substitutes for both.

- John Andrew Holmes

I cannot believe it. I really cannot believe it. Yesterday was the fifth of November, and I completely forgot about it.

If you have no idea what significance the fifth of November has, you should go buy a copy of “V for Vendetta” and watch it immediately.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.

I wanted to get a Guy Fawkes mask and wear it around yesterday, but I completely forgot what day it was. I am not happy about that.
