i was looking at this drawing while waiting for some images to download from one of my many high-end digital cameras, and thinking how UNLIKE the stick figure on the hangman's noose in that movie, The Machinist, with Christian Bale it was. And i was looking at it, and trying to understand what it meant, the art in the word bubble. Trying to understand the scribble's scribble as it were, when suddenly I heard a very loud, very near, gunshot ring out and echo through my neighborhood. Now, normally, i wouldn't think much of it, i mean, this is brooklyn. People get shot. It's 2:30 in the morning. People totally get shot at 2:30 in the morning in brooklyn. Nothing unusual here. Except for some reason, staring at this drawing, feeling like a somnambulist, and worried about the effects of insomnia, or am i really asleep, or actually wide awake? am i sleepwalking and i'm really here at this machine looking at low-end line art, or am i the man with the gun i've just heard explode only a few hundred yards away?
And then i thought... Hey Zeuss, Blogs really may be dumb after all. And to think, I thought they were the way to enlightenment. I thought it was a man's way of thumbing his nose at Fox News. I thought The Blog was The Light & The Way.
