My evil plans continue…
So I tricked the boys over at The New West into publishing the article I wrote for the Alberta Freeride Awards.
Which surprises the shit out of me by the way. I’m not that good at the journalism thing, I tend to use the word “fuck” too often. All a part of my constant desire to be as racy as J.D. Salinger. Of course having any validity would make that happen faster, and perhaps…at all.
I like the journalism kick, I just can’t seem to get focused on the W5 of whatever it is I’m at. I’m often compelled to fixate on some innocuous part of the whole deal, and write an article about a particular hors d’oeuvre that contained something offensive to my tastes. Like fake crab…or spicy mustard. It’s often construed as an attempt on my part to be quirky, but the secret is out now: I pretty much have ADD. It helps me play Quake well though, so I guess there’s an up side and down side to every schwartz.
I’m still doing the Panda Girls treatment. I think I’ll always be doing it. This is my Sisyphean punishment playing itself out for all those afternoons in English Language Arts in which I stared out the window, and ignored everything that Edgar Allan Poe did with his life. Maybe if they talked about Neal Stephenson I’d give two shits. Maybe we all would have.
Because while the horrible beating of the heart beneath the floor boards may be risque, it doesn’t stand up against Hiro Protagonist, hacker extraordinare and the greatest swordsmen alive.
