Grain of Salt

Now, before I even begin, I must preface this little mousy-squeaky post, this whisper of uncertainty and doubt and anti-communitarianism that will hopefully go unnoticed and unremarked, this little strung-together line of characters drunkenly hunt-and-pecked out late in the evening on a day in which I found that for some reason my IQ unexpectedly and inexplicably dropped about 40 points or so, I must introduce this with the admission that I've had a drink or two. This should not be a surprise to you, dear reader.

But : lately, repeatedly, and consistently, I've found my InTarWeb HerOes, the men (and yes, most, well, OK, pretty much all of my real leftover-from-Spiderman-pajamas heroes, at least on this IntArWeB thing, are men) for whom in the last while, since I've become interested in what's happening out amongst the Magesticallanic Clouds Of Bits, I have come to have respect and to like and perhaps wish to emulate, imitate, celebrate or alternately crush like bugs (being as it is the eternal and everlasting man-desire, no sh-t Dick Tracy, to destroy and supplant the alpha-male bing bang boom) -

...take a breath, wonderchicken...

those fine gentlemen have disappointed me, badly. You slack bastards. Icons, idols, they're leaving me colder than an arctic char's ass (and I don't even know if fish have asses, but carry on my wayward son carry on) of late. Need I explain why? No! f--k that. I'm just venting here, and the fridge is calling.

I'm going to drink a few more beers, and watch Waking Life again. This post may well disappear when I wake up tomorrow.

Well, whatever. Nevermind.
