“First and foremost, there's that teeny, tiny matter of selling your soul to the devil. That would certainly count as spiritual content...” ~Plugged In Online, “Spiritual Content”

Ghost Rider Wisdom #1:  If you feel the need to go see Ghost Rider, don’t.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #2:  If you're trying to get away from someone, the fastest way to is crawl on the ground -- beats running any day!

Ghost Rider Wisdom #3:  If you sell your soul to the Devil, make sure it’s for love.  That way, God’s on your side.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #4:  The best way to beat some kind of element is with fire...it beats wind, earth, ice, and oh yeah, fire.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #5:  Water, wind, earth, shoot.  Hey! you can't use fire.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #6:  Always remember to consult your magic 8 ball if your date is ever late.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #7:  If you don't want to die by looking into my eyes, ditch your soul.  

Ghost Rider Wisdom #8:  Finding your inner fire is a great way to light candles.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #9:  Lighting your skull on fire is an ‘edgy’ look.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #10:  Seeing your victim’s pain causes your eyes to look like molten rock.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #11: Look into my eyes, or my eye sockets if you want to be picky.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #12: How do you answer a loaded question with only one word? "heartache"

Ghost Rider Wisdom #13: If you can kill a minion in one way, then that's the way you should kill all the others.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #14: The best weapon against police helicopters is a 15 ft length of chain.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #15: When faced with just about any type of enemy, see Wisdom #14.  Except in the case of…

Ghost Rider Wisdom #16: Use shotguns against devils without souls.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #17: What's faster than an elevator? A motorcycle!

Ghost Rider Wisdom #18: What’s faster than a motorcycle?  An undead horse!

Ghost Rider Wisdom #19: Apparently, your name on a random piece of paper called a contract can pretty much screw you for life and undeath.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #20: The middle of a desert wasteland is probably the best place to put a bar.  Especially if you want everyone to die by…demonic stuff.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #21: What's the nemesis of air demons? TORNADO!!!!

Ghost Rider Wisdom #22: The best place to hide a world ending scroll of paper is in a shovel.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #23: When you’re a cop chasing Ghost Rider, the smartest way to try to kill him after he just survived a 1000 ft fall is to…shoot tons of bullets at him.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #24: Demons like to play with electric lights.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #25: If lung cancer doesn’t kill you, riding a motorcycle through a ring of fire will.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #26: Need a favor?  Sign a deal with the Devil.  He’s really trustworthy.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #27: The best place to hide from all powerful demons is behind a bar counter.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #28: If you tell your girlfriend that you’re a superhero, she may not believe you.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #29: Don't drink and drive. Eat jelly beans from a martini glass and ride a flaming motorcycle.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #30: Jail bars suck at keeping super heroes in.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #31: Innocent.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #32: Guilty!

Ghost Rider Wisdom #33: Demons have sinned, Father.  A lot.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #34: Instead of sterilizing needles with your superpowers, try boiling water.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #35: What's cooler than a guy riding a motorcycle? A skeleton riding a motorcycle.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #36: What's even cooler than that? A flaming skeleton riding a motorcycle.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #37: What's even cooler than that? A flaming skeleton riding a flaming motorcycle.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #38: What's even cooler than that? A flaming skeleton riding a flaming motorcycle with a flaming chain.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #39: What's even cooler than that? We don’t know.  The screenwriters couldn’t figure out how to add any more flames.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #40: Semis really aren’t that dangerous, in stunt, or as weapons.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #41: First give the audience a bunch of random information, then start the story chronologically.  We took this one to heart.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #42: Legends are legends because some are true.  That’s why we don’t call them history.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #43: Puns such as bonehead and thick skull are really funny. 

Ghost Rider Wisdom #44: Never let the face of the narrator be seen. That way, when he shows up later in the movie with the same voice, the audience is surprised.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #45: When you decide to not follow the Devil's orders, ride up to him and then double cross him. It's easier to get away using that method.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #46: That undead horse is the best getaway vehicle when ripping off the Devil.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #47: The Devil appears not to really mind losing world ending documents.  Or at least, he won’t chase you.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #48: There is nothing cooler than a guy on a motorcycle going through a ring of flame.  Except two guys on motorcycles going through a ring of flame.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #49: Someone way back when knew that future generations were going to be motorcycle stunt riders strongly associated with flame and changed their last name to Blaze.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #50: Don't wave to your girlfriend. Your motorcycle might flip.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #51: If your girlfriend tells you her father doesn’t like you and wants her to stay away from you, tell her to show up at noon tomorrow so you can ride away together.  Girlfriends fall for that. 

Ghost Rider Wisdom #52: Jason, get your motorcycle ready for Louisville.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #53: Carving your first initial into a tree along with the initial of your girlfriend and the word "forever" is just about as romantic as it gets.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #54: When your dad is running a circus with you two as the main attraction, leaving is ok.  Your dad can ‘take care of himself’.  I guess that means that dads can morph into two stunt cyclists on command?

Ghost Rider Wisdom #55: Make pacts with random guys who drop by your garage.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #56: Sign above pacts with blood.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #57: Get angry at the Devil when he twists your above pact.  It’s totally unnatural for him to do any such thing, you know.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #58: After your dad dies and you sign away your soul, ditch your girlfriend for good measure.  Ride on Johnny, ride on.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #59: Whenever your dad dies and you ditch your girlfriend, it rains.  Except when it's winter, then it snows.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #60: Once you realized you can’t die, do motorcycle stunts for a living.  After all, you can’t die.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #61: Make sure your buddy has your sunglasses ready for when you come too after you crash.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #62: Shows about monkeys are cooler than motorcycle stunts.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #63: Sometimes there is more than one possibility.  Ooh, check it out, I’m brilliant!

Ghost Rider Wisdom #64: Always offer interviews to your ex girlfriend.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #65: Always act really, really dumb in said interviews.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #66: Drinking half a gallon of coffee is the best way to prepare for a 100 yard jump.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #67: Imagine that you are flying a helicopter and someone on a motorcycle is jumping over you.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #68: Get rid of cars in motorcycle stunts. Use Blackhawks instead.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #69: This is actually a question.  Why put in Blackhawks?  Is that a product plug for military equipment that we’d all already love to have but can’t afford?

Ghost Rider Wisdom #70: I wonder if you can pick up blackhawks at an army surplus store?

Ghost Rider Wisdom #71: Motorcycle stuntmen are pretty dumb. They don't realize that helicopters suck air and things above them downwards. But we guess it doesn't really matter if you can defy the laws of physics.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #72: Motorcycles defy the laws of physics.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #73: Nike was right.  When faced with a stupid, suicidal, absolutely insane stunt, just do it.  Don’t even wait for your second in command to tell you what the heck you’re doing.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #74: After miraculously pulling off an impossible stunt and setting billions of world records, just ride out of the stadium and after your ex.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #75: The best way to get your ex girlfriend’s attention, do stunts on the highway including nearly dying by semi.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #76: If you want to get your ex to agree to a date, almost get yourself, her, and her news guy killed in a nasty highway crash.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #77: Don’t show up for that date.  Let the girl get drunk instead.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #78: When an obviously emotionally messed up girl asks you if she is pretty, and you just so happen to be the waiter getting her drunk, say no.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #79: Doesn’t everyone keep motorcycles in their apartment?

Ghost Rider Wisdom #80: Shows about monkeys are still cooler than motorcycle stunts.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #81: Boom, I'm on fire, check it out.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #82: If you touch a motorcycle and it turns into a flaming awesome new motorcycle, go touch it again and get stuck why don’t you.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #83: Never give someone who looks like a demonic being who wants to kill you the information he want unless you get some kind of guarantee in return.  

Ghost Rider Wisdom #84: Aww, he was about to retire, too.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #85: Point your finger at the devil.  It’ll work like in Remember The Titans, right?

Ghost Rider Wisdom #86: Warn people before you get abducted by your motorcycle from hell.  Bad things happen to the buildings and cars that happen to be too near to your path. And that doesn’t even mention the street…

Ghost Rider Wisdom #87: Kill the Ghost Rider by slamming a semi into him.  After all, he’s not “that tough”.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #88: Or then again, maybe he is.  Which is why he ripped that chain out of the ceiling and is using it to kill you.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #89: After the Ghost Rider kills your buddy, run.  It’s not like he’s going to still have the EXACT SAME equipment the next time you face him.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #90: After all this fun stuff, head to the cemetery to relax.  Just collapse on your father’s grave, and let your skull quit smoking…

Ghost Rider Wisdom #91: When you're trying to hide from people, it's best to leave a flaming trail behind you.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #92: Did we mention that looking into my eyes is a bad thing?

Ghost Rider Wisdom #93: Start watching the movie here.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #94: Or what about the fact that Goth chicks dig flaming skeletons?

Ghost Rider Wisdom #95: But that all pales next the wonderful fact that your clothes won’t catch on fire.  At least you’re not a streaking skeleton.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #96: Ghost riding makes one thirsty.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #97: Trust guys who maintain cemeteries to know what you’re going through.  And to literally stitch up your wounds.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #98: Go home.  Not to research, you idiot, to get that license plate before the police do.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #99: You might light on fire at night, but that doesn’t stop your love interest from being very cold about you standing her up.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #100: You made a pact with the Devil.  Now what exactly should stop you from lying to your girlfriend about what kept you from the date last night?  Sheesh, she’s here to apologize…

Ghost Rider Wisdom #101: If you arrest someone, are you also arresting his alter ego?

Ghost Rider Wisdom #102: Go to the Psychiatric Ward next time.  It’s comfier than jail.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #103: Don’t put Ghost Rider in jail.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #104: Woah.  Did Ghost Rider just say he wanted to join the police? Not seriously!  The guy who fights crime plans to fight crime when he’s old.  Amazing, this younger generation…

Ghost Rider Wisdom #105: Nice jacket.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #106: What's better than metal studs on a leather jacket?  BIGGERS metal studs on a leather jacket.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #107: Jail bars melt easily.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #108: Motorcycles come when you whistle.  Kudos, Harley-Davidson.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #109: Aren’t inconsistent super powers awesome?

Ghost Rider Wisdom #110: Jump in a river when chased by police.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #111: Or head to the top of a skyscraper when being attacked by the wind an a police chopper.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #112: Ghost Rider must have superpowers.  It’s impossible for a chain to actually spin like that.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #113: I didn't kill him, and the bullets and the fall didn't kill him either.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #114: Never approach your girlfriend when you’re flaming.  The bad guys might notice.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #115: Luke had Yoda.  Ghost Rider has a cemetery worker. That might explain some box office differences…

Ghost Rider Wisdom #116: Ghost Rider is way too long.  Let’s fast forward to the end.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #117: Hey, it's a swamp.  With fog.  And dead trees.  I think I'll go down there.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #118: Make sure you provide a creepy place in the middle of nowhere with lots of tough guys to get killed in order to prove your bad guys are evil.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #119: Do hostage exchanges EVER work?

Ghost Rider Wisdom #120: Shotguns are awesome. Supernatural flaming shotguns are awesomer.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #121: Sure the shotgun isn’t killing the guy who says he’s Legion.  Shoot him anyway.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #122: I really get the feeling that churches aren’t hallowed ground, if demons aren’t supposed to be able to go on hallowed ground. Or maybe the dead make it hallowed. Then again, the studio might have had a vendetta against Catholics.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #123: Couldn’t someone have knocked out Roxanne instead of Ghost Rider?

Ghost Rider Wisdom #124: Chicks can use guns, too.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #125: You know what really sucks about having ultimate power? Look into my eyes.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #126: So when the Devil gets cheated, he just disappears?

Ghost Rider Wisdom #127: If you can't come up with a conclusion, give your introduction again.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #128: Best way to close a movie – raise your eyebrow.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #129: Don’t judge a movie by the trailer.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #130: There can never be enough clichés in a movie.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #131: Superheroes’ girlfriends don’t have to be able to act.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #132: A good movie is your girl friend hating you the entire movie but then you redeem yourself at the end. An even better movie is having a bipolar girlfriend who changes in this regard every 5 seconds.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #133: Football fields are actually 120 yards from field goal to field goal.  Not 100 yards.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #134: Demons must need special dentists, given that their teeth are so different.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #135: What is a soul anyway?  ‘Cuz as far as we can tell, Johnny isn’t missing much besides his sanity, family, and all other aspects of regular life…

Ghost Rider Wisdom #136: So when does the Devil drop by for my soul?  I could use some superpowers that don’t seem to really cost much…

Ghost Rider Wisdom #137: Always have a large supply of books about various obscure religious things lying around your house for reference.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #138: The new trailer for 300 is amazing.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #139: Nicholas Cage is only good in Lord of War.

Ghost Rider Wisdom #140: Do not eat Taco Bell if you’re a Ghost Rider.  Think about it.  All those beans…and then you light on fire at night…

Ghost Rider Wisdom #666: Do not go see Ghost Rider 2.

"They say that evil prevails when good men fail to act. What they should say is that evil is a skeleton on fire with a bike and a girlfriend who can't act and that this is in fact good because you are an evil man and love matters more than your soul which makes God on your side which is cool and good and what was I trying to say?" ~ Peter Vilim, Master Movie Critiquer

Well I guess an uncreative person like myself (who came up with that idea) would have trouble succeeding with that so I’ll keep writing...wow it has been a while...summer has been great and I guess that is why I didn’t have time to update

Alright so Stephen has been bugging me to cover quizzes (well not in ages...which probably shows how long it has been).  However this is a rather hard topic to cover for a couple reasons

1. There are a million different ones (I recently received the 2006 edition of get to know your friends...I have no idea what happened to 2005)
2. There are lots of types.  There are the ‘get to know your stalkers’ ‘get to know yourself’ (you never know you might really be a fish)  ‘figure out how the world works’ (seeing is believing) ‘redesign yourself’ (somehow do you have the feeling that these don’t even sound like quizes)
3. It’s rather hard to navigate poorly designed, ad-ridden, five year old driven, automated, quiz producing, sites.
4. I accepted all the dating offers in the ads.  For some reason these dating sites never advertise having any sort of male population, so I’m now in a 35 girlfriend male paradise and have no time for things like this.
5. I’m now off on a tangent...

Alright I thought I would do a couple different posts on quizzes.  I’ll cover all the different types (well not all...a couple)  I’ve been working on poogle and I’m tired of sloppy screwy html so today I’ll cover the get to know yourself and your stalkers quizes.

Basically in this type of quiz you make up as many questions as possible (hell...its summer and you’re bored) that try to show your cool/hot side.    In the process you’ll reveal that hidden part of you that no one saw because they thought you were a bleary eyed Dorito encrusted xanga geek.

Ok I’ll stop stalling (btw nearly all of these are real questions)....

1. Have you ever been searched by the cops?  Of course! (all cool people have been at one time or another...and your friends should be the first to hear about it)

2. What is your favorite drink? Mountain Dew (All cool people...err homeschoolers...drink Mountain Dew)

3. What is your favorite thing to eat? Starbucks (Starbucks can be eaten right?)

4. What part of your body do you like the most? All of my hair (or is that an external attachment?)

5. What attracts you to the opposite sex? None of the things that normally attract guys (Really I’m serious...why don’t you believe me?)

6. What attracts you to the same sex? (ummm...I guess we are all a little gay...bi...something like that)

7. What part of your body would you most like to change?  My big toe (I want a really really big toe...yeah...)

8. What is the favorite thing you own? My shoes (cool and random...perfect...)

9. Pepsi or Coke? I have a major opinion on this one as a modern well informed American consumer I have spent a large amount of time drinking these two companies’ liquids out of machines, cans, plastic bottles, drug baggies etc...and I’ve also spent long hours debating it with my friends...I’m just not sure which one...I’ll know by next week I’m sure of it...

10. What is your favorite band?  Whichever one I most recently bought a cd from

11. What, if anything, do you drive?  A 20 year old Toyota T50q 2.6 liter v4 mini van (Would you like me to give you the vehicle’s serial number?)

12. What do you wish you could drive?  A portia 911 turbo with a custom installed straight aligned 6 cylinder 650hp engine (Never mind the fact that I have no idea how to switch an engine or even a clue what I’m talking about)

13. What is your favorite movie?  Whichever one I most recently saw (I’m highly critical with rather refined tastes)

14. What is your favorite song?  Track 5 of cd 19 of my collection of illegally downloaded music...oh you wanted a name?  Whichever set of words they say the most during the song

15. Do you own any guns?  Yeah! Dual 50 cal desert eagles (I know it sounds like I play to many video games but I really own them)

16. Do you ever close your eyes on roller coasters? Yes (look how brave I am...I love cleverly designed psychology tests)

17. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone? (answer evasively and crack a corny joke...then see below)

18. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight? Yeah I have...look...look I’m so awesome (Why do people associate being awake for huge amounts of time with being cool?!?)

19. Who if anyone are you in love with?  (answer evasively...then see below)

20. Do you have a deep dark secret no one knows but you? Yes

Well I guess I’ll tell you then it can be deep but not dark or secret which I guess makes it a deep fact...although that doesn’t sound quite as cool...really though you people wouldn’t believe the things I have been through in my 17 years...anyone but myself would be dead by now...ah well I guess the suffering hero will persevere

21. Do you believe in love at first sight? Canned guy answer: I’ll take the fifth.  Canned girl answer: Of course...

22. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal? Yes....oops now I just have a deep fact.

23. Have you ever stood up for someone you hardly knew? Yes of course, the other day I had this sweet ninja move that I......

24. I was going to go to 42 but that would have taken too long

Ok I’m done.  Now everyone needs to answer all of the questions (the entire reason I did this test was for one person to write a reply to 17 and 19).  None of these answers are the answers that I would really give.  They were in no form at all influenced in any way by my personal experiences.  Any coincidences are purely coincidences.

Oh and this books type of humor is just like mine just way less in your face and way better.  Actually I read a lot of really good books this summer.

Alright just on an opening note for all those who haven’t:
*************
Join the blogring

*************
^notice the stars so people can easily find the link...thanks to all the people who joined...I'll  remember you and give you free t shirts and other junk once I start selling those.  Then not only will you have my name on your xanga you will have it all over yourself.

Anyway that is the current replacement for my lame intro about never updating.  Actually I’m bored, working on a client’s computers, and this looks like it is rapidly turning into an all nighter.

I’ve browsed blogs a little recently and I noticed that everyone is posting about debate regionals.  For a while I’ve been wanting to explain how to do this properly.  So here’s a generic after regionals (or any debate tournament) blog post:

<begin>

Wow regionals was SO amazing.  (really? I never knew)

I got to see so many of my friends that I hadn’t seen in ages. (thank you...we already know you are a debater)

Here is a random list of (misapplied insider) quotes (that make no sense):

(insert your list here)

Oh and I (here act all humble while conveniently mentioning every award you got and why any awards you didn’t get were unimportant) (if you didn’t get any awards just say you had tons and tons of fun and you hadn’t planned on doing well)

There were so many cool people there:

(here is where you name drop about all the things you did with the popular people)

Oh and everyone right now I’m feeling really depressed.  I feel like I might die or (see post about being emotional on your blog).  I guess I feel depressed after every tournament.  But I love you all and you are the best people in the world! (I like feeling special)

</end> (<- I’m the only person in the world who still uses html tags for this kinda thing)

That’s pretty much how you should do it (since everyone else does).  As you can all see I’m obviously never ironic.

I couldn’t come up with my mandatory stupid intro joke about not updating because i updated so quick...sorry to ruin your day...maybe next time if I feel like it…

Anyway number three is on hold.  And I still need to write something about the philosophy of blog design.  But for right now I’m going to write about how to attract more comments to your blogs.  That seems to be the way popularity and content is measured...

Before I start one little house cleaning chore.  If you are interested please join Peter’s blog ring.  This blog ring is dedicated to anyone who enjoys my cynical rants about blogging.  Just to answer your questions...  No, there is absolutely no point to this other than to make Peter feel important.  And no, you won’t save a starving child in Africa if you join.

One of the best ways to attract attention is by comments on popular ppl’s blogs.  Like make a comment on a random friend of yours that is a girl and make it look like you have a relationship.  That will have guys feverishly pouring over your website (ahem...blog) in no time as they search for comments from her to ascertain just how things are going.

Their is a much better way though (if you don’t want to risk 300 flame comments from a stalker who feels like an 0b3r 1337 h4x0r at the moment) which kinda leads into my main subject.  Redoing blogs...

Alright pretty much the main point of redoing blogs is to attract traffic...

to your own blog...

This can be done several ways.  First off you need to get a contract to redo someone’s blog.  The best way is to pick some random person who gets a lot of traffic and badger them till they give you the job to get you out of their hair.  When you get an actual contract, you must start like this (because everyone else does):

“Hey everyone!  This isn’t X...guess who this is??!?!

Its Y!!!

Yeah I’m redoing X’s blog over the course of the coming week.  Just thought I’d let everyone know.  Btw stop by my blog some time and comment”

Yes thank you very much for letting me know that you are cool enough to have the person’s (changed) password, and that was a pretty awesome joke for a second their I just thought the original owner of the blog might have died.  I also thank you for providing a handy hyperlink under your name (every single time you mention yourself...which is most of the post).  Oh and it’s helpful to be reminded that I can go read your blog if I currently have nothing else to do with my day and I can even comment if I’m bored out of my mind.  Anyway I’ll feverishly check back during the coming week to see how things progress.

Now why again do ppl read blogs?

Alright, then make posts during the next week asking about formatting and suggestions from all the ppl who have too much time on their hands.  And always hyperlink your name ;) and talk about your life ;) and how you like and need more comments ;)

Ok when you actually get around to redoing here are a few tips.  Make it unreadable.  Make it shocking so ppl are interested in visiting your blog.  And base it upon one of the top three:

1. movie
2. band
3. who knows what it is!

When you are finally done make a post about it.  Just to let all the ppl know that the background for the blog that has changed so that posts are now unreadable has changed.  Yes keep re-reading that sentence.  Hopefully you get trapped in its circular logic and spend the rest of your life reading my xanga and increasing the traffic.
