  • Looking over my footprints, I have some of the oddest reasons people come here, though there are a large amount who do (though that might just seem like that to me because I near to never check my footprints). It seems the largest reasons thus far is people looking for lyrics for "Hellfire"from The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Disney, "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica, and various songs by Bruce Springsteen (most recently "No Surrender"). Amuses me, because I don't think anyone beforehand ever came by here. Suppose 4, going on 5, years of journal can do that. Not that I mind. It's always been open to anyone. Not entirely sure you'll be interested, unless you actually know me, but it's free to browse around.

    Know what annoys me? People who overlook something they deem "offensive" in a piece of work. If you have to over look anything - either the work is flawed or you're missing a crucial part of the work. Expand your minds a little.

     

    In his novel Timequake, the late Kurt Vonnegut tells of the late jazz musician Fats Waller who, when he was in the throes of a brilliant performance, was prone to yell: “Somebody shoot me while I'm happy!”

  • Those are pretty random ways to stumble upon your blog, haha. 

  • vonnegut <3

    I just finished Breakfast of Champions a few weeks back. while I disgree with some of the views Vonnegut expresses, I think he is a genius and eccentrically wonderful.

    and yeah, people who shield themselves from the possibility of being offended bother me. I think my friend has a term for it... "willful ignorance"? but it's their choice.

  • @escapist767 - I should have placed that last part as a quote from another site. I haven't had the chance to read anything of Vannegut yet. Though you have increased my interest.

    Heh, willful ignorance would be a perfect description

  • @thirst2 - ohh. well, if you are interested... you should check out Slaughterhouse-Five. that's the first novel of his I read. :)

  • @escapist767 - I have heard of that one before. My current plan for most things is when I have time...heh, lots of it by the outlook of things. I'll let you know when I get the chance for it

  • Jiminy christmas! I can't even figure out what a footprint is yet.  I'm reading Vonnegut in my classes next semester though.  That's right, Jonny boy!  I got a Xanga.  We'll see how this goes :P

  • @bangwhimper - wow, I totally never got an E-mail notification of this comment. If you click Feedback Log on the right in your private page, you then click Footprints (on the right). It just basically tells you who has been to your site in the past 4 or 5 days.
