Day after day, I think about typing something. Instead of here, I type and type something elsewhere. Meanwhile I find much more goodness and virtue in the bloogs of others. But that light that has been shining brightly for months doesn't find a way to reveal itself until this very moment.

So instead of bile and vitriol...I can shine a little light on something good. Here is something good: Anime on My Mind. It's got all kinds of cute crap that's worthy of your attention.

Another one I like a lot is Fourteenth Planet. VERY nicely evocative of the deep emotional gravity that great anime grips us with. See?? The empires of the future are INDEED the empires of the mind. Plus, she's from Wisconsin. So bonus points. In fact, from now on, ALL anime should be set in Wisconsin, and not Japan. That's a rule that should become truth!

On the other hand, I have no friggin' idea why I bookmarked Moonbase. I must have lapsed, momentarily, for a descending series of moments, into my old ways......since THIS piece of shite is what it is, and nothing can redeem it or do nothing about it. No amount of iced tea and cornbread will fix it up proper with any sort of manners. Not that it's impolite, mind you, but it appears to be cursed with some cosmic connection that is neither crazy nor cuckoo. And that is naught a good thing. See?? Old ways ARE best!! *evil laugh* *insert smiley here*

Meanwhilst, back into the nice.....the chick who does sugarinmytea(dot)com has got some VERY nice art though I'm not so sure of the writings, but....apathy DOES indeed save lives!! This a very good site that I highly recommend y'all to check out. In fact my ol' boy Sander, who's always Searching for Vampire Girl, oughta check 'er out. Sorry jessica ((no I'm not)) for refering to you as a chick, but ya know what I mean....I'm only considering the lilies of the field, and not the temptations of the city. I suppose I should write a poem about, but I wont. Not now anyway.

Another place to find good and worthy stuff is 11~15% suki. Lots of very nice anime links and info here, courtesy of the Avatar of The Goddess of Spending, plus other disturbingly interesting stuff.

But enough of this happy horseshit.....enough of being only31% evil. I might as well save the best for last. There's lots of hideous crap out there. For example, there are BLOGTHINGS. Cool things to put in your blog! Cool things like, well....let's let them say it better than I ever could:

A Blogthing is a quiz, meme, or toy you can put in your blog or journal.

To get started, take one of the Blogthings below. Have fun!

What's Your Ideal Career?: Learn what you should be doing for a living

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?: What color should your blog really be - based on its personality?

What's Your Religious Philosophy?: How do you view religion?

For example, one can find the answer to the age old question: What Kind Of Pie Are You?!! As you might imagine, I was quite curious to find out!! And to spare you the grief of six months of waiting, here's the answer:

You Are Apple Pie

You're the perfect combo of comforting and traditional Those who like you crave security

There's all kinds of other terrible and similar shit you can find out about yourself and any imaginary friend you;d care to drag down into this slough of despond. WHAT'S YOUR SUPERHERO NAME? ((the Gaseous Titan)) WHAT'S YOUR IRISH NAME? ((Dagda Butler)) WHAT'S YOUR MONSTER NAME? ((Demon Midget)) WHAT REJECTED CRAYON ARE YOU?? ((Melanoma Tan))

I've got one simple one for them: WHAT KIND OF JACKASS ARE YOU? The answer is One Who Thinks Blogthings Are Cool. What a dispicable display of shitassery!

Meanwhile, the horror presses on at such places as ?msn backgammon which makes even less sense than that shitass Insurance Blooger. I dont think even Jacques Derrida could understand what this goof is talking about.

And I'm quite sure that Jacques and Helene Cixous would join me in stating, with fervour, that No, It's NOT All Good. Also, they'd deride ( semiotically curious pun not intended) The Daily Om along with me, heartfelt expressions notwithstanding. Well, maybe they wouldn't, but surely they'd agree that the aformentioned bloogs are several steps down the ladder of writing, like for better, for worse. Most likely, they'd find ???-?? ??? ? ? more readable. I know that I do! *insert smiley here*

It's comforting to know that in the last 5 months that some things never change. (No it's not)

But...let's end this on a few good notes: Fullmetal Alchemist; the classic and essential Nature Boy; Kujibiki Unbalance; the number 17; and of course, Sumo Wrestling! Here's to that scrawny white geek from Bulgaria making it to Yokuzuna. Rack me, Jacques!! I'm out!! Almost there....up the ladder and to the surface of things we go.

and....
