Thursday, April 16, 2009  Let's Go Crazy  Overall, I'm a pretty
sane person. I don't have an official certificate to prove my
sanity, but I'm almost positive that one would be issued to me,
were I to apply.  For the most part, being sane has worked well
for me. Sanity is great for things like managing your daily
life, accurately interpreting events in the external universe,
or being allowed to use scissors. Also, living in the same basic
reality as other humans is very convenient when negotiating a
business transaction, pursuing a mate, or dealing with law
enforcement personnel.  The problem, however, is that sanity can
get really fucking boring after a while. The standard "agreed
upon" reality to which most people subscribe was not really set
up to be all that exciting. It seems to mostly consist of
working, sleeping, and watching TV, and there aren't even that
many good shows on. It's been a long time since anything has
really surprised me. Also, I'm starting to think that maybe I've
become too predictable,
