An Introduction to Me ... Be Afraid!
Hmm.... so i was motivated to do this by my friend Mandi and her buddy Liliana. They have a blog that i thought was pretty cool. You can see it at http://helloonewman.blogspot.com/. Check it out. Then they can owe me one for pimping them out on my site.
So I was inspired by the letter "A" when starting this blog. I know, its kinda Sesame Street. You can see it in my URL. The word "agrypnia" means sleeplessness or insomnia, which I suffer from greatly. I originally wanted to use the word "amaranth", which is an imaginary flower that never wilts or fades. Apparently it was taken. I think I should check it out and see the cool person who is using my word. I just thought it was an awesome concept. Its just like life; everything in your imagination is bright and everlasting, but in reality, it eventually droops and molds, and gets a wierd funky smell that takes forever to go away. (As an aside, I love fresh cut flowers, but i can never bear to get rid of them, so they end up living in my room until they get so gross they've got to be removed by a HazMat team. )
Anyway.... so why the inspiration for "A" words, you ask? (Or not, but I choose to answer anyway.) Well, in my dealings with people recently, okay, to be fair, i mean men, i've realized that almost all can be summed up in one word that usually begins with an "A". Funny that its the same word for all of them, and if you haven't guessed it, i'd tell you what it is, but its probably not repeatable here. Bored contemplation in class today led me to try to discover other "A" words to add to my arsenal, to try to increase my creativity with some original insults. I chose the letter "A" not so much for the original word, but more because it was at the start of the dictionary and made things a little simpler.
Haven't found too many original insults just yet, i'm still working on it, but I found some other cool useless words. The kind its fun to know but you can't use in regular conversation unless you want to sound like some pretentious jerk that would even get rejected by his own hand for being such a putz.
Well, if I haven't scared you away by now, i'll have to try harder next time. Although i'm not sure it matters what I say, as i've heard from Mandi that the genius of these blogs is often largely ignored. Oh well, the greatest artists are always celebrated posthumously, so i'm sure once I kick it, my insanity will be celebrated. Till then, i'll keep ranting and living dangerously.
-Adios (another "A" word)
