how to write a smart blog post title
(1) write what the post is about—in a mad, carefree, stupid, messy way.
(2) go work in the garden for two hours, or walk to the next town and back
(3) return home, and stare at the slop you wrote
(4) make a cup of coffee, drink it, then stare at the slop again
(5) play a CD by…

(6) decide you like listening to music more than writing blog posts
(7) delete your blog, leave the blogosphere, and never write anything ever again.
Voila!
You’ve now got the perfect blog post title.







You post almost as much as I listen to music.
and almost as much as I used to. Before Crash.
man, i gotta get off that crash stuff. It’s intoxicating but it’s just gotta stop.

Thanks for sharing that information. I hope you’re happy now, because I have no pig flipping screwfish toilet-stew idea what you’re popping off about.

I get paid $1,000 per post, so that’s why you see so many. I just say any frigging thing that pops into my 14 year old mind, and hope you older guys dig it.
What more could I pussily do?

Snow Crash, Vaspars. By Neal Stephenson. Required reading for any true virtual revolutionary.

I’m too busy writing books, to READ any books. No reading is required when one is already a Visionary.
I don’t read books. People write books about me.
