Heh, examining my traffic for a second I thought I was really popular with Rhode Island this week, then I noticed it's mostly the same IP and it's the person who went in my Shoutbox and suggested I kill myself. Guys I know it's the internet but that seems harsh somehow. Perhaps before suggesting suicide you might try some constructive criticism, give me examples of how I can improve the blog or whatnot. I mean I won't follow them because YER NOT THE BOSS O' ME but can we not, as an internet society, drudge up a little civility?
So I just woke up a little while ago and I'm still rather hazy. I woke up with my scalp sweating, which is the most likely thing on my body to sweat at this point. I might consider shaving all my hair like the Mexican guy in Napolean Dynamite, but there are many pitfalls to this: 1) my head may or may not have visible creases in its surface and other abnormalities that I can feel on my scalp, and 2) avoiding scalp sunburn would be a constant struggle, normally bald guys in Florida wear hats but my head is too big for hats. I suppose without the hair I might be able to fit it into a hat.
So this was supposed to be the year I started to see movies in the theater again, which used to be a favorite activity of mine before I had to suspend it almost completely during my period of broke-itude. But now I'm going to have to conserve virtually all my money for the remainder of the summer in order to buy my new trailer and the materials to transform it from a hobo toilet into a kickass bachelor pad. I was over there today, because my trailer is like ten feet away from my sister's in the same park, and I'd wanted to take some measurements of the rooms to know exactly how much space I'll have (I want to put all my music crap in the spare room and I also want there to be a couch in there so I can laze but I don't know if there'll be space for it) but I didn't know we were going over there so I didn't bring my tape measurer. I had a floorplan that I'd drawn by hand but with my lack of spatial reasoning it came out all screwy, so I started playing with an interior design program which did exactly what I did on paper but with actual measurements, which I'm sure aren't right but at least have some rhyme or reason to them.
Oh Jesus I hate the theme song from Friends. I just need you all to know that so when I murder Jennifer Aniston you'll know why.
I'm trying to come up with a way to supplement my income at least temporarily so as to pay off credit cards and what I'm going to have to use to fix up the new trailer and of course the first instinct is to play in a bar band, but I don't see that coming together what with my lack of social skills. So other than that I got nothing. I am planning to start intense work on some new recordings once I get into my new place, which I'd probably be doing already but living with people stifles my creativity and I also get really self-conscious if there are people around when I'm working on my music. But I doubt any money will ever come from that endevour, and certainly not in time to help me financially. One thing I had planned to do was to drop to a cheaper DSL type internet connection and go without cable for an uncertain period at the beginning of my habitation, but today I realized that by the time I've moved in (assuming they don't push it back again) the DTV transition will have happened and I'll need a converter for my TV in order to pick up antenna signals, not to mention I don't know what kind of reception this new park gets (though there is already an antenna on my new trailer, the guy who runs the park claims the antennas strewn throughout the place are ham radio antennas but I call bullshit, there's too many in too tightly a clustering for them to not by TV antennas.) So assuming I feel I can live without cable for that period I'll still need to buy a converter box, and if I get a second TV like I want then I'll need TWO converter boxes (because there's no way I can afford to buy a digital TV right now, but that's on my list). Of course I can get those coupons to help with cost but the coupons expire in 90 days after they mail them. It might be that long until the place is livable so I'll have to decide much earlier whether to get the box or boxes and then I'm kind of locked into either spending an assload of money I don't really have on cable or trying to survive on just antenna TV again for awhile, TV being my one inexorable addiction. So yeah.
A few weeks or so back there was a horrible thing that happened (that our local news of course just ate up, after all we are the community that spawned Casey Anthony) where a woman went to the gun range with her adult son and killed him and then herself. This made local news outlets forget about child-murdering-moron-with-trainwreck-family Casey Anthony for a few hours, before getting back to reporting the total lack of development in what they've all dubbed "The Case Against Casey". During this brief non-Anthony based news cycle they of course immediately released a suicide note and audio recordings made by the woman in which she explains that she had to kill herself and her son because she's the anti-Christ and if she didn't she would bring about the end of the world. I've been interested in the moral implications of this, it's an example of someone doing the absolute wrong thing for the best of possible reasons. Casey Anthony of course is a case of someone doing the absolute wrong thing for no apparent reason whatsoever, which is much more common.
Okay, so I don't have anything else to say about anything right now.

Indeed, I say we hunt them down and beat them with their own withered little brains.
