Writer's block is nothing but procrastination (wait, is that spelled correctly? lemme check... yes, it is. huh. dunno, though the second "r" is not after the right consonant, makes me think about "castration." oops, Freudian slip. said too much). Well, in my case, that and lack of ambition. And of focus. But I've said too much, again.

Let me see if I can focus my thoughts: Thing is, I'm bored. Bored and angry. Maybe a little more angry than bored but... Oh, went there again, didn't I? You know, I think once I'm done with this, if the inky quilled bird comes flapping his wings around here, he'll just shake his head in sadness and never come back again.

Hmm... What was I saying?

Oh yes. Angry. Angry at my fellow Salon webloggers. Make me foam at the mouth and feel like bashing in my head, not without first naming names and giving them a thorough "fuck you"-ing. But I won't, because by the end I'd have to admit that the biggest "fuck you" would have to go to me, first for having given up all attempt at civility, and second because I'm angry at them only because they are better than me. I'm the loser here.

Ah, doesn't make any more sense. Let me try to grab to someone and see if that works better.

Here, this should work: a good man complaining about the number of hits he got on a single day. Well, punch me in the gut and call me cry-baby, but I'd love getting as many hits as he did on any day! Only he deserved them, because he wrote about something that people need to get informed about. You know, the war. Me, I'd rather not touch the stuff myself. I'd rather write about the other important topics. You know, the prurient ones. And this good man complains about how his hits got him ahead of other "worthy blogs." I'm sure the real fun one wasn't among them, but that's not important. What's important is that I think what this good man writes is "worthy," whatever that overrated word means. His writing expresses a lot of humanity and empathy for the pain of others. I frankly couldn't give a rat's tail for the pain of others, which makes him better than me, which makes what he writes "worthy."

Did that make any sense? Crap, I don't think so. Maybe I should edit this down, but, hey, if I did, I'd be left with just five words (at most) and a link.

Now I understand how come I'm the second best thing after watching South Park.
