Bloggity blog blog

I am about to embark on the world of blogging.   Why?  I'm not quite sure yet.  It's kind of like a public journal, isn't it?  Probably because I live alone.   And television gets boring (except Bravo, but they only air like one new episode a day).   My dogs almost speak English.  It's taken them four years to learn, but they're getting pretty good at understanding what I mean.

I used to live for music.  However, I am uninspired where I live.  Shopping on the internet mostly pisses me off because you can only access a snippet.  We used to be able to cut through an entire record to grasp song structure.  I miss that part of the process.   I also used to hang out with a lot of people who cared about it.  Not these days.  Listening to music alone isn't nearly as much fun.  Even though I used to do a lot of it in high school.  I mean, what's the point?  It doesn't even matter if someone else doesn't remember it with you.   I don't think...  I recently was chatting with someone, a dj who told me artist and title on the dance floor of Groove Jet in 1996,  to try to remember what the song was.  I even left a message on his voice mail, trying to sing it.  I could somehow grasp the obscure electronic melody line briefly.  It was our memory, and a good one!  He couldn't be bothered, and replied, "no clue."   Why did I bother to listen then and remember it now??  What good is having an amazingly rare record, or even a popular one, if there's nobody to share it with?

Well, every now and then I have a funny thought.  Not at the moment, though.  I think I'm getting blogfright.   Do they make a pill for that?
