Seems like just last week

Gee... What was I just saying the other day?

Thanks universe. It's nice to know that I'm not just paranoid. Though honestly, I'd rather it be the case that I were.

While I'm on the subject

Last night on the way to an appointment, I was behind a car that had a Jesus fish and one of those license plate things with words on it. This one read:

WARNING: In case of the Redemption, this vehicle will be unmanned.

... Isn't that a conundrum? I mean Vanity is the #1 sin and it seems rather arrogant to me that someone driving a gas-guzzling SUV (Single passenger, I might add) can be absolutely sure that God wants HIM specifically. If you're SURE you're doing EXACTLY what God wants, you're a pretty vain little fuck. I mean wow. You know the machinations of the creator of the universe. That's quite a claim! You paid probably twenty bucks to buy that and put it on your vehicle and proclaim to everyone how smart and how much more good you are than everyone else around you. You could have given that money to charity. You could have bought a vehicle that cost only $14K instead of $50K and given THAT to charity. You could have saved $40/mo+ on fuel and given THAT to charity. But no. Not you. You slap God on your bumper because he's not in your heart but you think you're clever enough that if you give him enough lip service, he'll somehow miss your sins. You're going straight to Hell.


Hmm. You know... If I weren't an atheist, my idea of Heaven would be spending eternity in Hell punishing 'good christians'. Particularly ones who'd cut me off in traffic. :)

Breaking up is hard to do

I'm going to split my blogs up, if for no other reason that because I post too much and it's hard to find stuff in this one since it's such a heap.

But also, I want to make a more public-friendly version of myself that's focused on art an animation and contains a minimum of foamy ranting.

This will still be my primary location but I'll also be putting my better art on a different blog (So if you're sick to death of hearing me gripe about politics, you might prefer that) Looks like I'm going to use wordpress for that and it's an RSS feed type thing and it has the benefit that I can more or less totally replace my website with a blog and not have the hassle of maintaining a page. (Just trying this as an experiment. Probably won't stick to it)

I believe I _am_ going to start podcasting. Probably weekly with short-fiction. Either my own, or those of friends who want to get run. First however, I need to figure out the feasibility of creating a good audio program on a regular basis and what tools I need. Probably looking at 2 or 3 weeks before I seriously start.

I'm also going to be publishing a lot more short fiction. I've got a heap of old stories and back-piled ideas that just need some cleanup to be turned into fiction and I can probably run them directly as podcasts. Although maybe it'd be better to first try to market them. I'll have to figure that out too.

Lots of stuff going on for me right now but it's well past time I quit hiding behind the label of 'student' and started presenting myself as a professional. I've run from fame for too long.
