Guys, guys, guys.

I have a one-line rant.  Are you prepared for this shit?  Are you strapped in, motherfuckers?  You better be, because I am about to lay down the law with this condensed rant of the ages:

I can't drink coffee for the rest of the day.

Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee.  You think you got first world problems?  I have the mother of all first world problems.  In your face, third world!

Fuck.  I didn't bolt my chair to the floor.  Now I look like Stephen Hawking. 

Nobody told me Discordianism was a spectator sport, or I would have installed BIG, RED STRAPS.

In my day, we didn't have internet windows to refresh in wait of new content.

We had to walk 15 miles to the neighbor's house, rap on the window, and ask "what is up?"

And we had to do this IN THE FUCKING SNOW!!!!

You young whipper-snappers have NO IDEA how good you have it!

You know that game kids play with balloons?  Where they try to keep it in the air, by bopping it everytime it comes back toward the ground?

That reminds me of writing on PD.

Maybe this has all finally run its course. 

I mean, I was even dancing around the edges of a new drug thread and....nothing happened. 

Which NEVER happens.

Not for me.  I wrote 3 pages of Payne, knowing that nobody would riff on it1, because I HAD to.  Next, I'll probably do Richter or LMNO, whichever one hits me in the junk when I open a new thread.  I have a head full of mad dog's shit, and I MUST SPEW.  Even if nobody reads it.



1  P3nt did, actually, and it was pretty good.  But just once, then I got the joy of watching the thread sloooooowly sink down the page.

Fuck those people.

Thing is, I sit here every morning, shamming in my office.  My sleep meds from the night before keep me jamming until about 10-11 AM, then I turn into a potato.  During those 3-4 glorious hours, though, I want to DROP MY PANCE AND ROLL IN THE WEIRDNESS.

But these days, there isn't even enough weirdness to stain the hair on my right ass cheek.  No, it's all blah-ging or Ain't It Awful or YOU HAVE OFFENDED ME BECAUSE YOU POST TOO MUCH or WHY YOU GOTTA HATE or people staring at a DECI4 thread.  Let me say that again:  STARING AT A DECI4 THREAD.

I don't know what the fuck this shit is, but it sure as hell isn't what I paid for.

Where are the titans of spew?  LMNO, Richter, Payne, Nigel, RWHN, Cram, Kai?  All gone.  All Viewing the board index of Principia Discordia, or indulging in Slackā„¢ abuse in threads which would be more appropriate in political pagan.  Or insisting on carrying a ton of butthurt on their shoulders, and the complaining about the weight.

I am alone in my weirdness.  I feel like I wandered into a Rotarian convention.

This won't fucking do.  It does not satisfy my horrible and depraved NEEDS.  It does not make my rage gland twitch.  It does not anger my inner yeti.  Or my outer one, for that matter.  My back hair is limp and lifeless, without that healthy gloss it gets when I have a proper diet.

Something must be done.

I was hoping that my tell me anything would get more stuff flowing (even if it was just pointless abuse) but it just kinda stopped at anal.

But otherwise its pretty difficult for me to do anything but read with my phone. And my old work project ended so my current one needs a little more of my attention span for the time being. I hope the internet is back on at my apt because i dont like being limited in posting. Even typing this in took longer than it normally would otherwise.

I tried to start up a community creative writing project, "Baton" in the hopes of getting some creative writing juices flowing, but nobody bit. Or maybe it was too subtle and people didn't get that the "..." was an invitation for someone to tag on and add to the story.

I would also humbly submit there is more to Discordia than ranting.  I'm loathe to see us inadvertently codifying a certain kind of internet behavior in the name of Discordia that inadvertently leaves folks out because they dance to a different beat and express their Discordia in different ways.  I agree with the overall sentiment that it would be great to see this place pick up steam a bit, but I hope we encourage ALL forms of expression.

I agree that WHN has a point, but if your medium is an internet forum, typing seems to be the most obvious means of generating content.

Although, we haven't has a good WOMP battle in a while.

Also, I've been mixing some Frost Heaves demos, but I should try to knock out another Spider track.

I just know that "ranting", historically, has been a bit of a daunting idea for members.  Because we have some fairly formidable templates for that medium from some heavy hitters.  Obviously, people need to type and write SOMETHING, or we have lots of dead-space.  My point was just to make sure users are empowered to throw shit out, and not worry about whether it "measures up". 

And of course I'm a big "Nonsense as Salvation" guy so it's good to have some of that around as well.  Not to open floodgates of "fnord"-idiocy and pineal-sigil stuff or anything.  But I personally have always liked the balance between the hard-hitting rants and the nonsense.  I know, after I get this fucking grant out, I'm going to try to concentrate on more and better offerings in that vein.

I've been saying that for years...Just puke it up.  Nobody's going to call the library police over a new ranter's efforts.

I'll update my tech thread this week. I've been meaning of asking around to see is anyone else using the arduino, great rapid prototyping platform for testing sensors.
