first post

So, i'm finally buckling down and creating a silly lil thing called a blog.

First order of business is to make fun of the word blog, what the fuck is a blog? Its a word that doesn't exist according to the merriam-websters collegiate dictionary [tenth edition], and thats the friggin american one! If the americans don't include it, you can rest positive that the brits won't include that nonexistant word. So perhaps i should check other languages? my spanish dictionary doesn't include "blog" and the pinyin dictionary i use can't figure out what "blog" is either.

Stupid website called by some nonexistant word.

So, as i think about existance, i have somthing to mull over....what is life, the age old question right? I'm thinking about Chois dog, which is doing fairly poorly and is drugged up....i dunno how long the pup needs to stay drugged, but i mean.....is it worth it to prolong the poor girls life if she needs to be drugged up to even tacitly enjoy it? Its the same with modern medicine....whats the ponit of keeping a coma ridden patient alive if they are NEVER going to breath without a machine. Call me heartless, but i think i'd rather we pulled those plugs, and let nature do what nature does. I for one hope i never have to rely on a machine to be 'alive'..or even as is the case of Lucky, i hope i never have to rely on some pill to be around. I don't get it...why do humans try to dodge nature? Some of you might laugh, but in one of Laura Ingles Wilders, Lil house on the prarire books, there is a quote that I'm sure she stole from someone else, the line is "Nothing is certain except for Death and Taxes" or perhaps better stated, "Nothing is certain except for death and taxes," said Pa. But seriously, death is certain, its a part of life, its a part of existence....and humans seem to be the most devoted group of existants EVER to try and avoid it so much. To cheat it if you will. Seems so odd to me.

Alright, I think thats all i have to bitch about right now

oh, and i'm listening to Toad the Wet Sprocket rihgt now, specifically their reuinion show of 23 Feb 2003, at the Vogue in Indy. Good stuff.

Don't let the bastards grind ya down
