Public service anouncement: Avoid defining concepts by their titles.

Too often you come accross people who think that an Idealist is someone who thinks about things in ideal ways, i.e. the way things should be, or ought to be. Or that Deconstructionism is a method of destroying what ever is read.

The rational for making such assumptions about these and similar concepts is easy to imagine. The misguided soul constructs the theory based upon the definition of the root word.

And sure, we all do this to some extent. But my advice is to retard such impulses. It will make the world a better place.

An office window --inside, a diligent addministrator; outside, light foot traffic.

A young man --beset with low social sensitivity and mild tunnel vision.

Young man approaches said office window, sets book bag down, peers at his face in office window's reflection --no mind paid to the diligent addministrator who's attention is momentarily on said young man.

Young man with disturbed/annoyed facial expressions raises both hands to his face and squezzes the puss out of a medium size whitehead. Puss on the fingernail of right index finger, he wipes it on the office window. With eyes unfocusing on the smear of puss, he cathes the horror/repulsion smeared on the diligent addministrator's countenance.

With a smile and a nod, the young man gathers his book bag and carries on his merry way.

I'm under the impression that one of my legs is longer than the other.

Just by a 1/2 inch or so.

But just enough to give me a manly swagger.

I no longer want to know what the big idea is. In fact, I'm not sure there is a big idea.

Instead, I would like to know what is the fun idea.

But seriously folks, I want to know what's the big idea.

You know, "What's the big idea?" Moe style, as he interogates Larry and Shemp about some sort of shananagan their involved with.

Moe, the unsuspecting philosopher, the pre-curser and prototype for the movie "Pie (I don't know how to put the mathmatical sign on the blog)" and "A Beautiful Mind" --the genius gone crazy trying to figure out the "big idea" the "governing dynamics" the ultimate pattern of life.

And yes, I put Shemp in there on purpose. Shemp is better than Curly. Curly isn't bad --he's great and classic. But Shemp is a star, Curly's superior, a comic model.

To use a word I don't use too much, I would like to employ the term "Bitchen!" for the new Medeski, Martin and Wood CD -End of the World Party.

And just so you know, they are playing in L.A. in November. So come with me. We'll have a doozy of a time!

If you come over, I'll take you to this great Hawaiian food place.

But be prepared to go dutch, unless there is something particularly enjoyable about your company.

It is tough being a superior parent. Let me give you an example. Most ordinary parents teach their kids specifics: that is a duck, that is a crow, that is a dog. The result are embarassing moments when your child sees a cat and calls it a dog. This is every parent's nightmare, exspecially in front of the neighbors.

So, as a superior parent, I have decided to teach my child generalities: that is an animal, that is food, that is furniture. This way, when my child sees a cat she will say, "animal." My neighbors will respond with, "wow! What a smart child! You must be a superior parent." And with tucked in lips I will give them a knowing nod.
