Whoa.

I'm posting this for two reasons. First, I wanted to dry imbedding a YouTube video.

Second, omyfreakinggod. I don't know if this is a real trailer or not, but it's crazy.

the monkeysphere

I read this a number of years ago and have been quoting it ever since. I always said that if I had a blog I'd post it, therefore, I know longer have excuses.

But seriously, the rightness of this is astounding, right down to the sarcastic nature of it all. I mean, people are shallow. If we'd all accept this about ourselves we'd be much happier, not to mention much kinder to one another.

Welcome to my monkeysphere: http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com/monkeysphere.html



Now Playing:
Mystifies Me - Son Volt

EXACTLY

I suppose this is my coming out of sorts, but who the hell cares about secrecy anyway. My insecurity can stuff itself in a sock. So yeah, this is your friendly neighborhood Brad actually writing stuff on his blog. Forget that silly idea I had, it failed. Moving on.

This article inspired me to actually start writing stuff again, but it's SO GOSH-DARNED TRUE. I have been spouting this for YEARS. I'm shouting because I REALLY MEAN IT.

Anyway, read the article, and know why long rambling songs (American Pie notwithstanding, genius only happens once in a great while. See the rest of Don McLean's oeuvre for proof) never make my playlists. Or very very rarely. You know how I hate superlatives.
