tony pierce speaks, i jump

tony pierce told me that i had to start a weblog. not that we're very close, but i read his blog (once). so, since i've promised myself i'd write a page a day, and i figure this is a way to have some feedback. i only dread that my writings will be labeled as inane, self-serving drivel. there is no doubt in my mind of that label being correct, but i just don't want to hear it.
now the way i got to tony pierce's blog is through stumbleupon. this is an extension for firefox that gives you a new page everytime you click on it. you say you like it or you don't, and it stores those settings. it's the amazon.com of the www. you should use it. i do, and look how happy i am!

my mother used to take me on a motorcycle to school. after i gave her a kiss and she got my brown bag out of the side compartment, she would rip out of the parking lot wheelying to her heart's content. i used to be the coolest kid in school. now i'm just a mamma's boy.
my mother actually never owned a motorcycle. the coolest vehicle she has owned while i've been alive was a chrysler cherry red convertible, with a digital dashboard display. it would never work, so we'd just have to guess how fast we were going. and it wasn't just digital in that it would read out the mileage, but it would also fill bars up on a meter. like we were running on steam or something. but then the catylitic convertor gave out, and she got a taurus wagon. now that is the equivilant of riding a hog to school and then being called a mamma's boy. hence the analogy/lie.

why is it always cherry-red? i guess that apple red lacks that bite, that spark, that convertible colors need.

i lack focus, it's true. i'm just not sure that anything needs more than a paragraph or two of my time. is it okay to jump around from topic to topic on my blog? do i need to stick within a specific structure? it better be, cause i ain't changin'. not for you--not for nobody.
