I Don't Even Remember Starting This Blog...

Sometimes I do things, and I have these grand schemes in my head---plans that will eventually lead to fame and fortune and power and owning my own pinball machine. And then I forget the plan, or it turns out that it's going to be harder than I thought and I give up. Sometimes, however, things just appear in front of me, and they seem like something that I would do, but I don't remember doing them. Like starting this blog. When did I start a blog called "I'm Tired of You, You're Sick of Me" ??? I mean, it sounds like something I would do, but there aren't any posts on it.

Why would I go to the trouble of starting a blog, but not make any posts? Seems weird. Did I have a plan? Another grand scheme that, if I finally execute it, will lead to fame and fortune and free pinball? We may never know.

Now, the remains of this blog will help clutter up the internet, causing PIXEL BLIGHT or some other weird and unknown computer illness... (What the smerf am I blathering about???)

Voodoo. Computers are like voodoo. I don't really know how they work, but I know if I cut a chicken's throat and shake my wax effigies in a certain way, things happen on the screen. Or something like that.

What a bunch of nonsense.

I like nonsense. I'm glad I found this weird, unstarted blog and typed a few words into it. I mean, I know there's no reason for anyone to read it, but that's okay. I have lots and lots of words floating around on the internet that nobody will ever read. Doesn't seem to stop me writing more!

So that there is some educational content to this blog, here is a link to Fluxus artist Robert Filliou's book on art, teaching, and performance. It's super great:

And that's probably enough drivel for now. I doubt that I'll ever post another note on this blog---but that doesn't mean that I won't!
