This video has recently been something of an obsession for me.

Innovation Or Ridiculousness? The World May Never Know...

Click above link to hear me reading this post.
I've decided that I might try something new on the blog. Yes, that's right, not only can you read my nonsense, but you can now hear it too.
I'm going to...basically record myself reading the text of this blog. It's like a book-on-tape except not nearly as exciting, well-written or engaging.
Why would I do this, you ask?
Well, there's a entirely different dimension of communication that is conveyed when you listen to someone speak. You can hear their expression, their inflection, and their tone of voice. It's so much more expressive than just reading something off a page (or a webpage). Also, being a musicianly sort, I would rather hear things than just look at things.
I have yet to decide whether this is actually a good idea or just an incredibly pointless waste of time.
That being said, I'm not sure if I'll continue this for very long or not. It's pretty much just me experimenting with things. But I figure if people have the patience to listen to podcasts, they should have the patience to listen to ME yap.
Also, bear in mind that the "equipment" I'm using is pretty lackluster. I'm broke, people. I'm afraid that annoying buzz in the background is just going to have to stay there.
I really don't have much else to say right now, so I guess I shall see you on the dark side of the moon. This has been Spiderpig.
Peace out.

Why I Use Pictures
A lot of blog writers just type and type and type away all their thoughts. What's their favorite color and what's their views on gay marriage and what flavor ice cream is the shiznit? You might be able to tell that just from reading the text that's sprawled out on the webpage.
Me? I like to use pictures.
It's a fact of life, kids. With the dawn of the never-ending interconnectivity that is the internet, people are not reading as much. They no longer have the attention span to do it.
I'm just as guilty as the rest of us. As I've said before, I adored reading just for fun for such a long time. Now even I have slacked off and it really pisses me off that I have become...well, another pawn of rapidly waning interest.
Using that logic, I have decided as a blogger that in order for people to read my jolly posts about nothing, I shall have to include visuals that are slightly less boring than lines and lines of plain black text, because that tends to make people decide to check Facebook instead of read my boringness.
See what I mean? Didn't that picture make EVERYTHING BETTER???
Now go Twitter on your iPhone and Google Myspace or I'll Facebook your Yahoo.

Psycho kitty, qu'est-ce que c'est?
I feel like this quite a lot.
On another note, this is almost my hundredth post.
As luck would have it, I have absolutely nothing groundbreaking to say in it.
Who knew, though? Who knew I'd ever write a hundred obnoxious blog posts? And who knew anyone would have the patience to read them?

Halloween
It's Halloween. Hellz yeah! Trust me, the little kid in me has been waiting all month for this. The big kid in me has too. I don't suppose I will ever grow up when it comes to Halloween.
Watch some scary movies. Dole out the candy. Get in costume. Wait for the Great Pumpkin.
Take off your head and recite Shakespearean quotations.
However you celebrate it, or if you don't celebrate it at all, have a Happy Halloween and have fun.
