It’s funny that I came upon this video today, less than a week after ‘rebranding’ my blog to celebrate to awesomeness of everything.

I don’t listen to Insane Clown Posse, and the whole Juggalo sub-culture is in turns baffling and terrifying, but you can’t deny that they’re right about this one. The world is amazing, even before we look at the stupendous ways we have shaped the world around us.

I’ll let Devin Faraci, finish off my thoughts on this:

So much of what is around us is incredible and beautiful and transcendent… but it’s funny to hear a couple of idiots in clown paint who can’t rap and who love the word ‘motherfucker’ telling you this essential, wonderful truth.

I’ve probably written about this, or a similar enough variant, before, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve used this particular trope myself over the years as I’ve formulated my voice and the style of writing I try to employ consistently if not constantly, but this point deserves some repetition. It’s not your humble opinion. It’s your fucking opinion. If you don’t think your opinion is important, then why the fuck are you writing it?

Happy Square Root Day, everybody! Days celebrating arbitrary points on our arbitrarily labeled calendar tend to leave me nonplused but this one has mathematical significance and a level of geekery associated with it, so it’s all good. Yes, it’s days like this that make me proud to live in a world with a date/time system which can be co-opted mathematically for entertainment purposes.

Every once in a while I wonder if I’m actually gay, and then I realize how ridiculous it is that my metric for being gay is merely not finding homosexuality repellent and move on to better and brighter thoughts.

After seeing this comic over at Cyanide & Happiness, who I hope to hunt down during comic-con and thank for hours of disturbing humour, I immediately googled “Masturbating Snowman.” Amazingly, there was only one truly relevant result (though it’s a good one).

If this comic doesn’t tickle your funny bone, or at least two other smaller bones in your body or of those in your possession, well clearly it was not meant to be.
