More Efficient Drug Testing
Dave's post of this morning, What are weblogs?, was fine as far as it went. But what seemed to be missing in those level-headed definitions -- to my twisted head anyway -- was any sense of humor, fun, absurdity, surrealism, lunacy, derangement, folly, preposterousness, irrationality, nonsense, balderdash, blatherskite, bunkum, bullshit, and divine madness. In short, those qualities that continue to make life worth living. In shorter still: gonzo. This gaping lacuna in our collective notions of fogbloggery makes me like all the more what Shelley writes here...
I find that I read Chris Locke (aka Rageboy) on a fairly regular basis, and have recommended his weblog to other people. I don't always understand exactly what he's saying, or why he's saying it, but it's usually interesting and he has a lovely way with words. Not surprising considering that he's a published author with two successful books and a third on the way. Not Harry Potter successful, but most likely keeping him in his preferred vices.

As I was reading his weblog a couple of days ago, I decided that his writing is a test of some form. It's either a test of openess, and disassociated thinking, possible intelligence and humor. Or it's a new and more efficient drug test that doesn't require a cup -- if you understand what Chris says all the time you've got to be stoned.

Regardless, I need to have a little more fun with my weblog, be less serious, indulge in a little more disassociated thinking. Weblogs should be a place where we try something new.

For the record, Chris often doesn't understand what he writes himself. And he doesn't get stoned. Anymore.

Until a minute ago, I had no photos. I still have no photos to speak of. I don't even have a camera. But all these people were linking to "my photos." It was embarassing. It's still embarassing. But I'm used to that.
