Most Peculiar

so, i was browsing through various webpages, when i noticed that my gmail tab had transformed into my blog tab. i don't know why. there was, as far as i can see, no reason it should have done that.

that was pretty much it.

this line popped in my head the other day: the revolution will not be televised. i feel like i've heard this line everywhere from the time i was little and such. i did a google search of it, and such is not the case. every reference to this line is something that i know nothing about. and yet, it's something i feel confident in saying we all know. apparently it was some poem/song by a guy in the 70s, who was probably a dirty hippy, and that was probably the only thing he said of any cleverness. it was also the name of a documentary about a revolt in bolivia or something. a movie made for hipsters and faux hippies to watch, and then feel good about themselves because they know something about world events, and now they can feel superior about it without actually doing anything. not that i'm any different, but let's be honest: documentaries suck. they're god awful boring (at least the ones that get put in theaters), and the only real reason to watch them is so that you can feel superior to those that choose to spend their money watching things that are actually fun to watch.

i can actually understand, however, why this guy would say this. it makes sense. TV is the grand addiction of americans. it's probably replaced God as the opiate of the people. it drives me nuts. not because i actually think TV is evil. at least not directly. but because people who watch it religiously won't shut the hell up about it. same with people who attend church religiously, or attack church religiously, or really, do anything religiously. i get it. monk, and baseball, and the news, and the cheerleader. fantastic.

anyways, i guess i just wanted to say that the revolution will not be blogged.

maybe it sounds familiar to you because for a while I was reading a book entitled "This Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved," and I know how much you like microwaves, so I told you all about the book. (Which really didn't have anything to do with microwaves.)

thats all I have to say about that.

Few travellers on a Mashobra tour can resist the temptation of seeking blessings at the Mahasu Devta Temple.
If you look around your community, our country, and the world, there is
little evidence of loving actions. I thought it would
be cool to make people laugh as I inquire into the things that fascinate me,
like the trap of being human and, at the same time, divine.
In exchange you'll have to pay a bit more for the GT 220, as most models are around $60 or $70 dollars. I'm hoping
that all of you smarter ' more learned authors out there have a way to describe the intensity of this desire that you must have to journey in your own recovery. This will also open the Backup and Restore Center, which will warn you that "Windows Backup has not been set up" and "Windows could not find a backup for this computer. A low quality product may lose its shine in a few days or may simply get tarnished due to overuse or after coming in contact with water.

realistic about what you expect from others. For people from non
