Since I began blogging in 2003, I have experienced this on so many levels. As a Christian blogger who also writes about politics, I’m accused of being offensive, harsh, and unloving. What many unbelievers don’t realize is that Jesus was offensive and harsh, and his actions would seem unloving to some. For example, he said that unless you repent, you will perish. That is, you will be destroyed. Does that sound loving?

80s flashback earworm blog party

One of the weblog directories that Ping-O-Matic pings for me is We Blog A Lot, or weblogalot.com. Whenever I see it I get the Faith No More song stuck in my head with some variant like

We blog a lot about technology and politics and food
We blog a lot about our Asperger’s and science fiction shows
We blog a lot about the war and who we just met at the mall
We blog a lot about you people ’cause we’re out to save the world!

So I thought I’d do that to you too. It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to blog it.

I’m a village explainer, which is fine if you’re a village.

The dunes are on the move.

In the market tonight a sixtyish man in one of those store-provided handicap carts was buzzing around the aisles, followed by a clerk who was helping him. (They’re really nice there.) At one point he lurched suddenly around a corner at me and I saw that the entire front basket on the cart was full of the largest possible containers of skin lotion. “You want all of these, really?” asked the clerk as she dropped a couple more in. Looking and sounding exactly like Jack Nance in Twin Peaks, he half-yelled “Yeah! I use them to PUT MY ARTIFICIAL LEG ON.” The bro dudes next to me, who were buying protein bars and vodka, looked stunned. I bet he has a fish in his percolator, too.

I think too much, I talk too much, I write too much. At least I don’t smoke, drink, or eat too much, so it’s more a problem for others than it is for me. Something I inherited from my father is the tendency to take over a conversation and deliver paragraphs, speeches, stories. Like him I have a compulsion, and like him I always feel later that I’ve overdone it. It’s like a miniature bipolar cycle in which I have the most! important! thing! to say! and then later on I bottom out and think “What the hell was I babbling about, and why were they so patient?” Stupid brain, can’t find a happy medium.

The new girl at Diedrich has a really forced-sounding Irish accent. I wonder what that’s all about?
