Re: Yo...Yo...

Today is a holiday, but you can't eat meat... well, land meat anyway. Fish meat is still fine, although they say it has mercury lodged in its fat. An advertisement in the New Yorker stated that the toxicity of fish was from a study done on pacific islanders whose main diet was whale. The purpose of the ad was to pursuade people to go on and eat fish. So I will. My girl wants me to grill salmon today, but the weather on News radio 780 said we're in for some rain...

Now that was some good rambling. Lets see... 8 tangents. Not bad for a single paragraph. I find myself going off on tangents frequently when I blog. Occassionally I force myself to maintain focus on a single issue but the entries sound too much like descriptions in a catalog... example:

Donald Rumsfeld, a native from Chicago, is a Princeton educated politician whose service has spanned from US House Representative to defense secretary. He has served under every administration since Nixon besides Carter's and Bush the elder's. His firm political connections provided him appeal to a major pharmeceutical company where he utilized his influence to push the approval from the FDA for the oral contraceptive pill enovid and the cancer causing sweetener aspartame. He also sat on the board of ABB a company that, during his tenure, sold a nuclear reactor to North Korea. Returning to the political arena during the current Bush administration he helped bolster the Iraq war against his formerly amiable associate Saddam Husein. Rumsfeld is fond of tapioca pudding and 12 year old scotch. He buys all of his suits from Sears and is a regular subscriber to the Chicago Tribune. His favorite authors are Ayn Rand and Franz Kafka. He is available in a variety of sizes and colors at any local K-Mart store. Call or go online to order your own Rumsfeld today!

Even that required some outside facts for description. It's as though an individual alone can't provide enough to maintain interest. So a person becomes what they do, who they know, what endangered animals they've eaten, and how much liquor they can handle.

This ties into your solitary golf outings. Did you really score three under par on an 18 without taking a handicap if nobody was there to see? Is reality dictated by corroborating accounts of experience? Must a person speak the truth to make it real? Jesus thought so, and that's why we can't eat meat today... land meat anyways...
