i promised i wouldn't blog nonsense just for the sake of blogging, but...

a blog i bet you all will appreciate

i was reading all of these amazing last-minute homestretch blogs, which are pretty awesome in general (thanks for all the links, lindsay) and somehow my neighbor heard what i was up to and recommended me to check out that global o site, seeing as how i was getting such a kick out of the internet. i thought the home website (globalorgasm.org) was pretty kickass, but the fact that there was a BLOG link got me way too excited - and reminded me of these lurking blogs that i need to complete... ah enough of that.

as i was seeking inspiration for a blog topic (slash surfing the net), i stumbled across MORE information about this horny manatee business. these underground flash phenomena really blow my mind -- especially how the internet can help encourage and support likeminded people into action. but i can't help but wonder to what end? like this global orgasm thing for example, more power to the movement (and i hope you all participate, and continue to take me somewhat seriously as a person...) hopefully it will make a positive peaceful difference in the world - oh tangent here, but has anyone seen "a constant gardener"? i just watched it and it was amazing and everything, but the realities of corruption were still hard for me to handle. and this movie had such a social consciousness and was still critically acclaimed, i hope it opened up some minds at least... -- and yeah, back to media making a difference, i like where this is going so i posted it for you all - but at the same time i also think it's hilarious. same with the manatee stuff, i know it was born from a conan skit but i mean over a million hits in a few days? thats hella popular, right? and the same with postsecret.blogspot.com - all of these websites have caught my attention in that they are crazy popular for the simple basic concepts shown on the web. i still can't wrap my head around it - and more importantly to me, how this can be converted into real actual change.

on another note, i was admiring some other blogs (i.e. dooce) and i have been noticing more and more that the content i really enjoy reading have this funny biting sarcastic tone. i think it gets conveyed really strongly in blog format, but i'm not sure why. i'd like to hear some thoughts, if there is anyone out there still - bueller? bueller? but i will continue to chew on that for a little while longer.

and i was reading some of the many comments that keep popping up in response to these rapidfire blitzkrieg blogs from class, and i spotted that someone mentioned how - on concluding thoughts about this blog deal - blogging is really impersonal... i agree to an extent, but isn't blogging also extreeemely personal in that its your voice is all you?

whew. only like 20 more blog postings for me to catch up with yall. i don't think i'll make it, but i hope to write a few more thoughtful-ish ones soon. if this is the last you read: thanks, take care and try to orgasm on dec 22 while thinking peaceful thoughts, for me? word.

(ps i feel like i had to because i'm all about the closure, but in other classes i never really felt the need to sign off before... and YOS is there ever going to be a MS majors mixer?????)
