exposition...river city

Well well, this story begins with a well. Well come to my story, welcome. I, the I that composed this collection of pixels that you are now reading but also the self same "I" that is not present in the pixels themselves, "I" am sitting on a couch in a nice little internet cafe like a good little yuppie university student pissing away the cold cold day with nothing much to say, but then if you've made it this far already why not a little farther eh?"....so said the serpent in the tree.

Since I have nothing good to say I will simply say a bunch of random magical bullshit.


1. Despite all evidence to the contrary, the universe is entirely composed of two basic substances: magic and bullshit.


2. There once was a man named Hegel who desired to know. What did he desire to know you ask? Anything at all, but he wanted to know it fully...completely. So Hegel went out and bought himself a nice big desk with a nice chair and some nice paper and pens and all the little implements, instruments, and artifacts he thought might aid him in fullfiling this strange but all to common little desire. He read books, lots of books. He thought thoughts, lots of thoughts. And he wrote words, lots and lots and lots of words. But the more he read and the more he thought and the more he wrote the more he realized....realized that to know any one thing, fully, completely, absolutely, one must know everything.
This sent poor Hegel into a deep despair, for his one and only true desire he could plainly see was unattainable. One gloomy, cold day, in this pit of his despair, a smallish spark lit in the middle of him. The spark did not reach his brain but it did reach his toes. And then it reached his feet, and legs, and before his brain knew what was happening his feet and his legs stood up from the desk and the books and paper and pens and began to walk, out the door, around the corner, down the steps, through the door and out into the street, out to the edge of town, out beyond the edge of town.

3. There once was a man named Matt. One day, Matt was bored. So he skipped his class wherein he was to learn about what Mr. Hegel had written and thought and read and instead went to a nice little internet cafe like a good little yuppie and bought a coffee and opened his cheap little laptop, took a deep breath, and dove into the murky waters of the information super seaway. He looked for, and found, his good friend Jeremy's rantings, became at once inspired to follow suit, and indeed did, then and there, follow suit. Many posts followed, from trickles to floods. Then one day Matt signed up for a writing class, and on the first day the teacher told him rather bluntly to go out and get a blog.

And then go test drive a car...Stay Tuned!!!

And that brings us up to now.


But enough of this banter. There's time to be wasted and potential to kill!
