So desperately I sing to thee of love

So hey. This is my 100th blog entry.

I kept wanting to have something special ready for it, some kind of commemorative dealy, but the things I could think of I either couldn't pull off in time, or felt were lame.

It's not that big a deal, since I write in places other than this, and have really only been taking this seriously since the new year. If I totaled up all the posts everywhere I'm scattered around the web, it might total as much as 200, or I dare say. two hundred and twenty. So, I guess this is gonna be pretty low-key. But, I felt like marking it, because it's one of those things I tend to mark. One of those odd semi-arbitrary times to look back, and reflect on the stuff I've covered in the entries so far.

Well, I seem to talk a lot about how I'm tired, plug stuff in the gallery, and link a lot of sourceforge projects. Wow. That was a pretty pathetic showing.

Some inner truth of vast reflection

I can only hope I can keep this writing momentum up such that I might actually put something of real interest to someone up here, so that the 200-entry mark isn't quite as hollow.

And I can keep it up as long as it takes

Chances are, though, it will be more of the same old crap. Which I guess isn't so bad, given that there are people on LiveJournal spending their time pretending to be celebrities, and people on other sites clamoring to proclaim their love for whoever happens to be on the cover of Teen People this week. I feel bad though, because I can actually recognize the standard which I am falling below, and yet continue to do so anyway.

Still my confession draws you near

Plus, it gets me ego-stroking comments, which is all I'm really after. Speaking of which- Greg, an autostentrola is a word I made up. It started with Stentrola, which I thought was a funny old-timey-sounding stenography machine - in other words, an old timey machine that writes very quickly. I added the auto- to enhance this. So see a wordamatronic autostentrola is a newfangled ciphering machine that spits out words at an inhuman level of speed and efficiency. Or, you know, You. Mr. Oooh I've got 205 entries since FREAKIN' JANUARY.

Anyway, happy 100 everybody. Nobody rocks like Chicago.

[Sure, but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self]

Wow, I guess I do have a lot of entries. That's even funnier considering that I only post about a quarter of everything I write. You should SEE the documents section of my comp... oh wait, this might sound like bragging. Sorry. Okay, fine, I'm not sorry.

Hmm. reading back a bit. Funny, Kenny Rogers gets around, as there is a father of a friend of mine that could be his double. Maybe there really is no Kenny Rogers, just one guy with a bunch of identical twin brothers and a vivid imagination?
100 entries? neats.
I wish I could do something like this, but I lack the brain power and tech knowledge.
I had more to say but it got lost in the coolness of typing white words onto a black background, which always seems to entertain me.

I had this cool little witty response thingy all typed out like 8 hours ago, but when I went to post it, it got all mad at me for trying to post too frequently.
So that being said, you won't be getting any of my candy.

I think I'm the only member of the vast readership who hasn't. Oh, wait. I just did.
