Another Attempt

It's becoming rather comical to me about this whole blogging thing.  I really do like to write, but as I've said before, Facebook has usurped a lot of the stream on consciousness observations that I would keep for blogging.  So, when I try to think about things to write, the well is pretty dry.

However, I am giving it a go again.  I've even rebranded everything, mainly because my old blog title was a bit negative sounding.  Nick About Town came into play when I started doing Instagram more often, and it has just kind of stuck.  The whole minutiae thing came that way, too.  It's in my profile on Instagram.  I really do have far flung interests, and if I'm going to do a blog that is like a brain dump, then you can expect pop culture, science, and even politics.

I make no allusions to the fact that no one may ever read any of this, but it is a good mental exercise for me.  I just need to stick to it.

I suck at this blogging thing...

Blog: Where the $%$#% have you been?
Me: Drinking mostly
Blog: Oh, I see. You'd rather destroy your liver than write out paragraphs and paragraphs of word salad like you used to.
Me: Pretty much
Blog: Ass hole!
Me: Now, baby, don't be that way. I've not really been drinking (that much). I've just taken a lover.
Blog: What? You son of a bitch! I'm going to cut your fingers off!
Me: I'm sorry. Facebook is just so..so..stream of consciousnesses. It's just become much easier for me to spew my invective out as status updates.
Blog: ...
Me: Come now, at least I wasn't seduced by that hussy, Twitter.
Blog: ...


With that out of the way, I know I have totally neglected my blog. It is certainly not from lack of material, but I just haven't had the wherewithal to do the updates at the frequency I used to do it. Since I'm a creature of repetition, I just got out of the habit. I'm going to try to get back into it. I'm sure this corresponds with the election year. We'll see. :-)

The thing that set me off today was a political ad by Carly Fiorina, who just happens to be the failed former CEO of HP-Compaq. It is pretty much the type of ad we haven't seen in a while, and frankly, while I don't know much about her primary opponent, I just can't help but think that the over the top nature (there is a demonic sheep) kind of takes away from the point. All and all, this is some funny ass shit:




Here's to the crazy season in politics AND more blogging opportunities!
