It should be noted right now that I did NOT make any resolutions to be nicer in the new year. The only change I am contemplating is the addition of a TITLE to each post in the no doubt misguided idea that it will make this seem any more organized. I am convinced that it makes as much sense for me to do that as it would for me to put a pair of trousers on a dog.

What strikes me as a bit odd and disturbing is that there are a lot of pre-formatted blog templates being used by utterly disimilar blogs. I noted that alarming trend late last year, and I see it continuing this year as well. For example, Kyle's Blog & Nothing is here share the same template and style. Very likely they are also the EXACT SAME blog only in two different languages. But Kyle, my man, if you want to be a rocker, you should get a different layout....something that Lemmy from Motorhead wouldn't want to PUKE on.

Then again, there are still those who start brave litle blogs, only come crashing apart on the shoals of actuality. Here is one example: you think you know, but you have no idea. Beth, Beth, Beth.....you need naught fill a page with test test test test written over and over just to see if your blog will work. All you need to write is: "I wonder if there is some fascist pretense underlying the coding of this.....I wonder if THIS little bust of verbiage will make it to THE WIRED!!!???" That's it. Simple, ne? Rich from light blue leisure suit posted just one "test" after a 3 year hiatus, no doubt making films about making films, so should you. Welllll...that just reminded me to check and see if HELL is still under new management. And by golly, it still is!!

Meanwhile, I wonder how many years THIS is going be up there on the Wired, just as it is. Is it Just Me, or is it someone else....no....not to worry, it's just me....just little ol' me.

Then again, there are still some blogs that no pair of trousers can salvage and that tempt me to speak, for a variety of reasons, but are, for a variety of reasons, better left to simply speak for themselves. This is one recent example: I am the Goober Queen.

But, this little bit of tedious shite has a happy ending. I found a VERY good punk music blog: PUNKCANADA.NET. And I can also report that there is hope for our youth, at least for teenage girls anyway....this girl is not Just Another Girl. I wonder if she agrees with me that skulls are as cute as Hello Kitty. I shall believe, until proven otherwise, that she does.

And NOW to see if the TITLE works.
