The Tragedy of Blogs

The tragic irony of blogs is, if you have enough time to write about your life on a consistent basis, then it’s probably not interesting enough to merit reading.

Except for me.

A Note

I’d just like to say, may God Bless Jason Kottke.

I am sooo far from doing this as a full-time thing it’s not even funny.

Hi there, I'm Orin. This blog is about a lot of things. Most of all it is not a blog. What is a Glot? It is a means to manage digital identity on the internet. Kinda like a blog I guess, but totally different. I made it and I keep making it. You can browse through the tags, peruse the archive, read the FAQ, learn a little bit about me, or just look at this cool thing I made.

quotes

  • “Be amoral. Have a clear knowledge of your goals. View any interaction as an exercise in problem-solving vis the achievement of those goals. Observe. Learn the games well, and know when to play them and when to bypass them. Project the type of demeanor which you wish to be perceived as having (d’oh). Think like a predator. Know when to push and when not to. Process-orient; don’t worry about whether it’ll work, just do it. Be selective. Never allow yourself to be seen as “safe”. Care less than they do. Don’t indulge in wishful thinking unless you’re willing to make it happen; otherwise, if it’s not going to work, drop it gracefully and move on. Never let any sort of failure faze you, and if it does, don’t let it show. Listen. Learn. Be damned good in bed. Practice intermittent reinforcement; be neither consistently affectionate nor consistently insensitive. Develop a strong personal presence. Adapt to circumstances rapidly. When opportunity knocks, answer, dammit. And don’t forget to be amoral.”
  • “Do not free a camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.”
  • “In all the apartments in my building, people began to experience unusual phenomena: spontaneous, uncontrollable orgasms; visions of worlds folded into empty envelopes; astounding new ideas for leisure footwear. There were reports of bizarre dreams, all containing the word ‘obviously’. Wine glasses rang and then cracked, paintings reversed into negative, people saw God and thought he looked ‘kind of shifty’.”
  • “How much deeper would the ocean be if sponges didn’t grow in it?”
  • “Sometimes trouble follows a man, but for some it rides shotgun.”
