Groonkly Bit: Look there, it's the moon…
Writing is like trying to reach the moon with a ladder, if you really look around you’ll realize how hopeless it is… but if you just keep looking at the moon, you’ll always think you just need a bit more ladder.

Groonkly Bit: Hello, America
I’ve held on to this one for weeks. What a coincidence I’m dropping it on President’s Day.
America remains an astonishingly good idea — and those rights held to be self-evident, that had never ever been written down before and which shaped every Western revolutionary society and republic that followed…it’s those freedoms that turned the country into both an engine of innovation and an inarguable nuthatch.

My World is Worthless. NEXTWAVE is No More. :(
Also it’s Death of NEXTWAVE Day:
For as long as you live. Whether you know what I’m talking about or not. Something will always be missing from your heart, and that constant incompleteness will drain the joy from every single moment of your existence until you lay on your death bed, listening to your pulse stutter and stop, knowing that somehow, someway… you failed at life.
Knowing that nothing in the world had been right since Death Of NEXTWAVE Day.
Warren Ellis, BAD SIGNAL 02-14-2007
NEXTWAVE was love. Now nothing means anything anymore. Excuse me while I crawl into my fetal corner and gently weep tears of skunky beer.
Damn you, NEXTWAVE! How can you do this to me!?
What am I saying? I deny your denial. My heart will forever carry your thoughts of me in that pathetically stalker kind of way. You better shut your blinds, NEXTWAVE, cause I’m outside looking in with a pair of binoculars,a rubber hose and a can of pepper spray.
I love you, NEXTWAVE.
I hate you.

Happy Horny Werewolf Day!
I’ve no idea of the truth behind this but:
Always remember: Valentine’s Day is a Christian corruption of a pagan festival involving werewolves, blood and fucking. So wish people a happy Horny Werewolf Day and see what happens.

Werewolves are not known for their couth

Groonkly Bit: The Truth About Getting Things Done
Prof. Frankfurt also wrote On Bullshit. Both are books I want on my mantle.
Truth is difficult to cope with because reality is difficult to cope with.
—On Truth Prof. Harry G. Frankfurt DAILY SHOW 01-09-2007
You know what the truth is? The truth is having your own site project thingie, running it(such as it is) and having to re-design it to your own neurotic needs and not being satisfied with what you get.
Some days I envy the conceit of having someone else handle the re-design of things. But I know I’d never be happy with what they created.
So I’ll bitch about it some more and push on through til I finish.
It’s nice to have a process.
