Fame, Fortune, and an Onion.

Why is it that a parody newspaper The Onion writes an article that is probably more correct about things in America right now than what you will read in CNN? The Daily Show's Jon Stewart probably had the BEST commentary I've seen or heard on the attacks anywhere, and where does he work? He works for a parody news show. I think it's very difficult to write parody, because you have to understand reality so well, and recently that hasn't been easy.

Speaking of the ease of writing, I'm slowly developing a case of writers block when it comes to this site. If I sit down to write email to a friend of mine, I'll be able to churn out volumes of things to talk about and ask, and relate personal things in profound ways, but if I sit down with the intention of updating this main page, I have to clentch my fist, scratch my head, and THINK about what to write in a post.

Being the only person to update this site forces me to be creative, (or depending on your opinion, persistent) to learn how to write even when a sentence doesn't want to leap from this keyboard like it should. If I'm not going to write it, it's not goint to get done. I can't say that the post will be anywhere near the quality that I want it to be, but at least it is wrenched from my conscience and put on display for the world.

I wish the prose would just flow from me, and somehow I would end up being well known as some sort of Internet personality with some sort of loyal following me in some sort of digital cavalcade blindly following understanding and perpetuating my ideas. Facing facts, the chances that I will be even marginally known outside of circle of people that read this page is practically impossible.

Those that claim to seek fame and fortune are probably better of to never achieve it, so I will continue to be persistent creative and it will all hopefully work out in the end.
