I've loaded a new plugin that allows my readers to Share my posts with their social website of choice. Facebook, StumbleUpon, MySpace, etc. Just click the little "ShareThis" icon at the end of all future posts and let the world know of my genius. The world will thank you.

I'm trying to increase my traffic by submitting to various blog directories and forums. But, as it turns out, since I occasionally talk about sex, sometimes have pictures of naked breasts, and once had an animation of a girl strapping a dildo to a Care Bear and fucking it, that my blog belongs in the "Adult Blogs" listings.

Now, while I do stipulate that my blog is not for children, the fact that just because I sometimes tackle the tough subjects (like performing sex acts upon an entire nation), that I belong in the same category as the blogs that do nothing but post pictures of black guys fucking your grandmother in the ear.

Why? Why the fuck does the fact that I sometimes get a little, um...colorful mean that I must be the same as the people who don't care about content or quality, they just want to get as many clicks to their clit pictures as they can for their pop-up ad revenue. There is actual fucking literature in my blog (as well as fucking literature).

This is just another one of those bullshit corporate Judeo-Christian mindfuck attempts to equate sex and sexuality of any kind with some sort of depravity or sickness. Anyone who even blinks the word "orgasm" in Morse Code is locked away in a pit with the child rapists.

I have half a mind to create my own directory. The "Mature" Blog Directory, where we actually act like Mature adults. It may be too much to ask, but I'm tired of being treated like a pervert by people who equate the word "Adult" to ball gags.

It would seem I may find my way back to my home town for a holiday visit after all. I am really looking forward to seeing my kids. Other than that, I'm completely beside myself with anxiety. Friends, family; I'm really not ready to see any of these people yet.

The best thing you can say about libertarians is that because their views derive from abstract theory, they tend to be highly principled and rigorous in their logic...The worst thing you can say about libertarians is that they are intellectually immature, frozen in the worldview many of them absorbed from reading Ayn Rand novels in high school.

Libertarians single-handedly destroyed the Oregon educational system, and state health programs. And when the crime rate skyrocketed, the average life expectancy plummeted, and the psychiatric in-patients were suddenly put to the street from lack of state funding (thus subjecting the city of Portland to a swarm of homeless, unmedicated, crazy people), they actually had the nerve to act surprised.

I have officially transferred old Obviously... entries to their new home as far back as two years. How long have I been doing this shit?

Anyway, if you're a new reader, bored, or an obsessive stalker, you can now dial back as far as September '06 right here, right now.

I've actually tried to fix some of the old typos and spelling mistakes while I do this, even though I swore I never would. If I'm too much of a douche to check my work before publishing the first time, I deserve to be subject to it's ridicule until the end of time. So, I didn't really try that hard to fix the typos.

The real pain in the ass is finding out that the images that I've posted alongside some of my writing has dissappeared over time. Some of them have been replaced with nasty little notes about "stealing bandwidth" or somesuch nonsense. Some people have no sense of civic duty, you know?
