Let this be a lesson to you, the next time you think your footprint in time is banal and squalid. This is the print made by a bird who flew into a window; he left behind his image in dandruff. So the next time you’re feeling like your life is dull and meaningless, remember this dandruff print and let fly, Andrew WK style!
There, don’t you feel all One With The Cosmos again? If that doesn’t do it, skip over to our old blog buddy LettersHomeToYou and read the Desiderata for Bloggers.
Stumble aimlessly amid the trolls and waste, but remember what peace there be in staring at your toes for a couple of weeks. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all readers. Publish your posts quietly and clearly, and listen to podcasts, even the dull and garbled, for they too have a right to hog bandwidth. Avoid loud and aggressive bloggers. They are pains in the ass.
Vox, dude!
Except for the part about the podcasters. I’m not so sure about those guys; after all, when regular radio is as bad as it is right at this moment, who needs to listen to a bunch of amateurs for poorly-formed opinions, delivered in garbled and techo-tarded fashion? Also: bandwidth is cheap now!
Ah, sic transit gloria monday. I always wondered what happened to gloria tuesday. Guess she drove instead of taking the bus. And how were they both related to TGI Friday?
Where was I? Oh yes, posterity. Click over the jump to see what the rich and famous did today that’s going down in history. Or, in the case of political mistresses, going down on history. And I totally stole that joke from a 30-year-old Vanity Fair magazine.

Wow, Desiderata for Bloggers! Notice there’s no mention of Twitter? It hadn’t been invented yet. What an artefact.
I’ve been chuckling for the last while as I wandered my way about your site and wanted to say thanks. So thanks for sharing your perspective, insight, and humour with the world :)
Also when I see that bird to window photo I hear the dialogue from the Star Wars movie when Porkins is about to crash his x-wing and they’re all telling him to pull up. “I can make it, I can make it! aarrrhhhhhhhh!” lol
Indeed, at the time all the Twitter guys were the Odeo guys, and hosting my music files. But the Desiderata is a classic.
Maplemusketeer, welcome. Any fan of Star Wars is welcome here!
