About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Minnesota

It’s nice to just send something out into space, so much more vague and abstract (and pleasantly so) than having my thoughts in print, right there, in black and white. Blogs are on the web, which is some ephemeral technology that I don’t fully understand anyway, and can’t really comprehend in the same way that I can’t really comprehend a billion dollars. Meaningless. Therefore I write all kinds of things that I probably would never say or write in real life, because it tickles me and it doesn’t really do any harm anyway because in a few days the entry will be buried in the archives and the three people that have read it will be busy with other things.

I'm What?!


If I were a classic movie, I'd be Apocalypse now? Really? I mean, there are those great hallucinogenic scenes of Martin Sheen's, and the bizarre behavior of Marlon Brando, but still... this is the film that almost pushed Francis Ford Copolla over the edge. Seems a little deep and intense for me. I've always thought of myself as a simpler sort - Philadelphia Story or His Girl Friday - something witty and urbane.
But it's official. After beginning this post, I decided to go back to the test and tweak a few answers to see if I could get a different result, while remaining basically honest about things. And, yup, I am Apocalypse Now. Again. What does this mean?
