Phones Suck

So it's midnight in Hurst,Texas. The windows are open and it's a very windy night...great for sleeping. Spring time and crickets. All is good in the world....

Until...

My phone gives me a loud verbal reminder about Zombiefest.
(GODDAMMITT)
I had forgotten that I set the damned phone-gadget-doohicky to give me a reminder for the festivities this weekend. I shat my sleep shorts when a British woman's voice spoke to me out of the darkness.

I will most assuredly be making some changes to my phone's settings after I unass the ceiling and change my clothes.

AND, by the way...

Go visit http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/.

It's best to go there and have a grin and leave nice comments...or meet this rake and the angry, angry bears.

GRAAAARRRRRRRGH!

So...
I'm supposed to put my thoughts down on a web page, people subscribe to the web page, and they "follow" the random thoughts I have about stuff going on in my noggin...basically. Sort of. In a manner...

The whole reason I have this thing set up was so I could follow another blog called Hyberbole and a Half. She is here: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/
Funny posts and ...well...bizarre MS Paint artwork that I really like. I almost feel like I wandered into a trap, though. This blog being the end-result. Lemme 'splain:

I've been laid up with a fairly bad injury for the last 3 months. Maybe I'll post that here as an entry. It's an interesting story from what I've been told. Anyhow...I digress. I have had a very long time (and more to come) to basically sit on my ass and do nothing. Doctors prefer I stay off my feet until my injury heals. I surf the Internet, read, and watch documentaries on Hulu to pass the time. It's not as great as it sounds as it gets pretty damn boring looking at all the stupidity on the web. Vicious place, it is.

I was trying to find some humorous content to occupy my brainpan and happened to stumble upon http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com, a blog site that Allie Brosh runs. I was very pleased with this little gem of a site because of the style of her writing and the manic artwork she had made. Funny verbiage and sometimes-disturbing art. Weeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

I was in heaven! The artwork sort of had that edgy, tweeky feel that Ralph Steadman's work has when he was contributing to Hunter S. Thompson's stories...I reiterate..."sort of". I think if Mr. Steadman had used MS Paint his work may have looked like Allie's. I actually mean this in the highest of compliments to Allie. I am a huge fan of Mr. Steadman and now of Allie Brosh.

Again I ramble. I decided to "Follow" the blog because I was very interested in seeing more entertaining artwork and getting more doses of much needed laughter while I recuperate from this injury. Sometimes I don't read things through terribly well and I soon became under the impression that I had to start a blog site to be able to follow Allie's site and get updates (Facepalm) ...(shit).

Fuck-me-running....NOBODY is going to give a flying rat's ass about what I think about anything on a given day about ANYTHING going on in the world. I mean seriously...what's the world population up to now? Something like 6 to 7 billion screaming, ranting hairless monkeys?
(As of 30 April 2010, the human population of the world is estimated by the United States Census Bureau to be 6,817,900,000.) .....Okay.....Wikipedia saved the day again. Thank you very much. Anyhoo...

I guess my point is: this is a hell of a lot of trouble to go through just to get updates on an (admittedly) VERY funny blog. BUT, I did it...and here I am...feeling like a total and complete DUMBASS because now I know for a fact I didn't have to create a blog in the first place just to follow the Hyperbole blog. Oh well....

I figure I'll go ahead and post some stuff here. I have some time on my hands...may be kind of fun in a masochistic way. Kind of like hitting myself in the crotch with a pear cactus. Hours of entertainment pulling the spines out especially if the wounds have festered a tad and some puss comes out when the cactus needle comes free. Yeah...kind of rewarding like that. :)
