whats in a web log

i can't find any satisfaction in my web log as of late. its not like others' that i know. i can't seem to locate that which formerly brought me so much online happiness and satisfaction. maybe i need to find a more escapist means of entertaining myself. or perhaps give in to the mainstream. but its just not like it used to be.

very clever brother.

if your fickle mind can't fathom the meaning within the writings of OSC as anything more than escapist then you have failed...

don't lose hope my little brother. you can do it.

paul said...

here's a thought.

if you and your mainstream cousin stop trying to 'out-cool' each other and just be yourselves then your blogs will bring more meaning and happiness to your lives...

the last paragraph was not a criticism because i enjoy your weblogs. they are interesting. and people like you.

paul said...

it's been too long since i've been reminded of just how shallow, partisan and reactionary john kerry is.

thank you brother.

paul said...

sorry that I'm commenting so much petey.

good luck with your debut tonight brother. maybe we'll have our kids while you're on stage (amy's dilated to a 3)!

petey said...

paul_ a couple things:

first and foremost: congrats to you and your wife for carrying the kids so long!! i'm anxious to see your new additions.
second: funny that you apologize for over commenting, because moments before i read that, i was going to give it to stevey for squeezing out 4 comments in a row from our most loyal reader. so no comment to the over comment except to comment that your comments preempted my comments.

stevey_
mainstream? is that all you think of me? i'm too sad to address such a violent character attack (i can't remember the fancy term for that, paul can you help me out?) i guess i'll just retreat to my boring, mainstream, un-original blahh...g.

paul said...

stevie: end the defamation of petey.

what is mainstream anyway? it's not john kerry and it's not trent lott

mainstream is good if your floating the colorado river

mainstream is good if you want to pass dental school

mainstream is probably good near judgement day (if you're on the right side of the stream).

so stop the defamation of peter and the mainstream.

Stephen said...

petey: ad hominem

paul: maybe i read a little osc after i web logged it, and maybe i sort of enjoyed is 'brother orson' articles. good luck with the little ones.

petey: alls i'm saying is that i will do everything i can to defame your web log (not defame you) as long as you keep using my web log space as a platform for your web logging activities. laura, if you are reading this, you should be ashamed of yourself for not commenting.

petey said...

well done stevey. i concede. to read more about my defeat, go to peterfrandsen@blogspot.com.

peace!

i would just like to say that i quite enjoy peter's blog. one day i'll even get around to commenting on it. i especially liked the blog about reading. it was very intellectually stimulating, although i don't necessarily agree.

i also liked the party information and the pictures. but what i really would have liked to see is a picture of young stephen with some nice young female (18-20) by his side. i would have put that as the background on my computer (although this is dr. stohlton's office, so that might not be too good an idea).

you'll notice i make comments about peter's blog on stephen's. that way i appease both of your egos.

your welcome.

i meant "you're" by the way.

skinny: i guess you really don't get the idea of 'inellectually' now do you? why don't you get a life?

peter: the fact that skinny likes your web log might not be so great. everything he likes is mainstream and anything that is mainstream he likes. in fact, i would take it as a great complement if he didn't like this web log.

paul said...

here's a nice tidbit about our friend mr. kerry.

stephen: be nice to andrew. and don't pretend you're not mainstream.

petey said...

how long are you going to continue your one-sided converstion of john kerry??
enough already.

Stephen said...

paul: that links is for premium economist members only. talk about posh (and you call yourself a westerner).

skinny: i don't know what you did to obtain paul's sympathy, but its undeserved.

paul said...

petey: i think that perhaps you followed neither link. otherwise you would at least have said something snide about the man.

paul said...

stevie: call me and i'll give you my log in...

although you can't abuse it since i don't want to lose it (i've had it ever since the BYU and they haven't dropped me from their list yet).

my small way of sticking it to the man. (although i plan on paying for the print copy as soon as amy will let me).

paul said...

everyone should see 'states of grace' by richard dutcher. this is the only movie where i've had tears running down my face at the end of the show.

wow.

don't make fun stephen.

Stephen said...

paul...i'm trying very hard not to make fun. so i think i better refrain from commenting.

petey said...

my thoughts were exactly the same. and i did refrain from commenting, but ideologically i'm against post-reading-non-commenters. so i will just support steph's comment and ask one question.

dutcher, really??

petey said...

p.s. as long as we're checking stuff out. forget states of grace, and check out mates of state. those two really know how to lay it down.

paul said...

dutcher is one of two or three real directors on the mormon cinematic scene.

paul said...

stephen: i've seen you cry. let's not play that game.

paul said...

i have mates of state from stephen's last visit. i didn't last more than four songs. they're fine in a jewel meets fatboy slim sort of way.

i did hear another death cab song on the radio and rather enjoyed it.

paul said...

hi jill. we are having them on Monday if they haven't come before then. we are very excited. amy came off bedrest today and she, michael and i went on a date. she really wanted to come visit you and steven, but we weren't sure you would be home (and she got tired sooner than she would have liked).

Stephen said...

jill: thank you very much. i will uncle my bery best. can uncle be a verb?

paul: good luck with the little ones.

Stephen said...

i didn't mean to write bery, but it was a nice alliteration.

Stephen said...

amy had the girls: 6lbs 14oz. and 7lbs.
