a(nother) half-ass post

been in a black hole the last few days, so once again i got nothin.

however, since there are a few of you who for some reason take the trouble to click your way over here every day, i figure i should give you something for your money.

first, i'd like to publicly thank the several of you (even the mean ones) who've e-mailed me since i started in with all the personal bullshit, and to let you know that while i'm gonna try to keep it personal, in the future i promise it'll be a lot less train-wrecky.

second, i'll share with you a little epiphany i had today: i complained recently that it was the sheer mundanity of my life left that me little to write about, but was just reminded that it's not always what happens that makes for an interesting story--sometimes it's all about the delivery.

case in point: take a minute and imagine how you'd tell somebody the story of something as seemingly banal as drunkenly getting on the wrong train, falling asleep and then waking up at the end of the line in some strange town--and then click here and compare yours with his.

i mean, jesus, if i could make such brilliance outta mere shitfaced stupidity, i'd never run outta material again.
