mapsedgeNo clue. That was my response when my wife asked me why I'd signed up for LiveJournal. I'm not a joiner, as a rule, and, with a few notable exceptions, hate reading journals. I came across one yesterday, just randomly browsing, written by a (presumably) high-school age female. Jeezus H. Kee-r-I-st, don't we teach our kids how to write anymore? By fourth grade I could spell, write in complete sentences, and knew the proper use of a semi-colon for God's sake, but this young woman could barely construct a coherent thought let alone be bothered with punctuation. I mean, I'm all for "stream of consciousness" and all that happy horse shit, but I've never had my consciousness fucked up so badly that the stream looked more like the waste outlet for a hair-treatment chemicals plant than an actual flow of ideas.
e e cummings got away with it, darlin'. You just sound like a moron.
Maybe that's what this journal will be good for. A place to pile on the rants that my wife doesn't want to listen to anymore, which, in spite of how it sounds, is not in and of itself, in fact, a rant. Merely an observation.
