I Blog because YOU asked me to.

Asking me why I made a blog is like asking me why I drink. I drink because it makes me funnier, more charming, personable, entertaining, and easier to get along with - and it generally makes OTHER people (yeah, I mean YOU) more tolerable.

Imagine me 4 hours into a grueling shift at work without having had A) a cigarette since I started. (yeah, I smoke too, shup!) and B) A drink to keep me even. ... I start hating people. even my best friends. even folks I know nothing about. even people I have frequent sexual fantasies about. You don't want to know that side of me. It's an ugly ugly side. But hey! here's me, smiling and laughing and being that guy you think, "hey this guy's kinda cool I want to know what's on his mind." - You can thank beer for that - and weed - and genetics - and me just being a generally cool guy.

I'm gonna go ahead and delve into some deeper issues here.

I like poltics. Not current event type politics. Not the kind you have to know whom is whom and who is the constituent of whom and who opposes who's ideals. Just the idea of the thing. "I believe in this and you believe in this too, so basically we're on the same side of the fence." I'm starting to think though, that this may be an awful lot of fences. I'm starting to forget what fence is which and who's fence is who. Fences are for the intolerant of new ideas. I'm on a missive to tear down as many fences as I can. Anybody who agrees with me meet me at the side gate, I have a worn screwdriver and a pair of needle-nose pliers; sorry, that's the mass of my capability, but we could compare tools and see what we have to work with. Let's build some kinda scaffolding or treehouse, or you know, whatever it takes. Do we need a permit or just landlords permission? Do you have any extra wood just layin' around? Think about it.

I also like religion. It answers a lot of questions. Not like, "now where did I leave those keys?" kinda questions, but it answers questions about who we are. Am I a person who could believe in some mystical power that can not be observed but yet must be believed in, as opposed to a logistic view that says everything can be explained by some "simple mathematical formula" that we have not discovered yet because it is too complex? Is that question even answerable? Can I define myself by my beliefs? Wouldn't that save a lot of time at the polls, in most peoples cases? 

Jesus [  ]
Incomprehensible math [  ]
Gore-ism [X]

BAM! problem solved.

I like this. I'm gonna keep blogging.

kloveyabye!~
