thank you!

thank you all who have in some way or another shared in both my humour and lack of political correctness in this blog. i thank you all who have come here for one reason or another or because mother-google pointed you in this direction. if i have at any time offended your political or human sensitivities, my heartfelt apologies. nonetheless, do remember that your own irritations, are always self-generated.

under the motto "you can not have it all" i have decided without much rationale to concentrate my blogging efforts elsewhere, and do remain faithful to kitchen sink and fluage where i post at more or less regular intervals. random walk fiction, also known as the original intutum blog, contain episodes of a story that is emerging sporadically in between writing other stories.

it is also not like i am giving up either blogging or political uncorrectness, much less my humour. i cling to my humor, lack of political correctness and blogging and declare this "blogging drunkenness" is now closed.

what has this world come to?

my dear friend and bosom buddy saddam has been sentenced to death by hanging, and frankly i do not give a flying fuck. i watched on some website, most likely the BBC, how he wanted to take the news sitting down and then was forced to stand up. why would saddam ever want to stand up, especially if it involves responsibility for his actions?

it could also be that the good man wanted to demonstrate his scorn for a puppet court trying to make a statement that is not quite clear what it is supposed to mean.

ok, to keep things in this tone, i want to see gwb lynched in new orleans.

i just wanted to make sure that i still know how to turn the knobs on this thingymadikky.

news

here are some news that are no news at all:

1. september came and went and i did not post a word here
2. i am fresh out of excuses for that one first item on this list
3. the mass media news are as depression inducing as ever
4. nothing is new under the sun, but the sun keeps on getting older, and i keep on getting grumpier
5. this blog has a new title, and the subtitle is now the new title, but then the new title is the old subtitle; you get the drift
6. beta.blogger sucks at many levels but it holds all the promise of some dude with nice firm muscles and one hell of an ass; it has pretty colours
7. there are no rules here, and i make no promises
8. i am faithful to my feed aggregator, but only when it is convenient
9. do not ask me if i have been drinking, i certainly have not been smoking
10. eid mubarak!

This is Beirut today.

Why?

What cause does this advance?

interruption and disruption

our most beloved "cairo otaibi" is taking a break from "random democratic parallax" posting. it is not that the posting activity has been wild and furious, it is that this one freaking writer has got other fish to fry right now.

more news in september 2006. meanwhile the creature writing all of this nonsense wishes you all a continued good summer, the gift of critical thought, and the ability to act in dignity.
