After reading the last entry, I’ve come to the realization that I am not smoking nearly enough pot for this.
How did it get to be so serious? So. Damn. Serious. I mean, it is an essay, and I am attempting to draw some real parallels to something or another (still haven’t figured out what, although i recently realized that if i really wanted to, i could take this shit all the way down to the collapse of civilization and the apocalypse. we’ll see.)
No, the basic fact of this is the fact that it’s hilarious. The only problem is that I don’t know if it’s actually funny to anyone other than me and my friends. I don’t know. Maybe there’s just less joy in my life than there used to be.
So yes, I need to smoke more pot.
I still have no idea where I’m going with any of this. Instead of actually deciding on a structure and attempting to do research, I’ve just been going on crazy intellectual jaunts and getting all swallowed up by the gaping maw of the monster that is Lamb in a Wool Sweater.
Anyway.
My friend Cliff just quit his job as a political canvasser and has decided to occupy his time by starting up a kind of online creative symposium among our group of friends. He and his friend Peter, who looks almost exactly like him except with dark hair (yes that’s right, chew on that one) are starting The Apologist, which I think is going to eventually be a kind of website where people can put up creative content and anyone can add to it. At least that’s it in a nutshell, I think.
The point is that he’s asked me to contribute some stuff, which I think I will, despite the fact that I’m like a starving territorial hyena when it comes to my writing and will be goddamned if anyone tries to touch it. I might put some old stuff up, but first and foremost, I’m going to write a short piece which I think will help me get my thoughts on the essay and everything else in order.
A short piece that will reflect on me writing this blog which reflects on me writing this essay which reflects on me slowly discovering what exactly it is I’ve been reflecting on.
Yes. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Thanks, I think I will.
