This is my blog. I speak for no one but myself here. The words I write, the images I post, and the articles I link to interest no one but me. I stand by what I put here, however, it is not a reflection of time, effort, or particular care. I just want a clearinghouse of what does interest me and a space to spout out poorly written and thoughtout rants. Consider this a disclaimer.

No, not for your "spirit day". No, not for your "funny" costume. No, not because it is post-irony. Not even is Whoopi told you with would be okay.
And no, not if you are from Delmar in the 1980s.
