I’m not sure if I I should agree with John Cusack’s character in Hi Fidelity when he asks, “Is this Peter fucking Frampton??” but I’m inclined. Why then, you might ask, am I listening to him? I don’t know. Because he was mentioned in Hi Fidelity?<\/p>\n
I’ve been wondering about whether or not one should maintain such seemingly private information on the web. But since my last name isn’t used, it would be difficult for a web searcher to turn me up. A search without my last name primarily turns up references to kite-flying events in the plage of Berck sur Mer. As interesting as they are, they are hardly incriminating. But then, this journal isn’t really incriminating either. <\/p>\n
I’ve got this great fear of becoming, as I put to Todd not so long ago, “a Starbucks customer”. Even from that very comment wafted the air of that which I was afraid of becoming. Not the smell of coffee, but the odor of, at least as Todd put it, pseudo-intellectual. I’m not a fan of that word. Maybe because I’m not sure how to define it. I wonder how dictionary.com defines it. As best I can tell it doesn’t. A google search turns up http:\/\/www.ram.org\/ramblings\/ramblings.html which is interesting. The author of the page simply claims that he is, in fact, pseudo-intellectual, the pseudo-modesty allowing others to think that maybe he really is an intellectual. Is that what I’m doing, but in a different way? Perhaps. How is a pseudo-intellectual defined, except by what others think. And I don’t care what others think. Really. Or so I keep trying to convince myself. So in my pseudo-not-caring, I shouldn’t care if I’m a pseudo-intellectual or not, I should just be, and not worry about it. Right. So I don’t really care if you think I’m a pseudo-intellectual or not. Really.<\/p>\n
His page is entitled “Pseudo-Intellectual Ram-blings” but I think that what I type is far more likely to be classified as rambling. That’s what it is, rambling. Probably more likely to be considered pseudo-intellectual. Oh, right, I don’t care.<\/p>\n
I like Smog. At least, the band with that name. I’m not such a fan of smog, though it does provide for exceptional sunsets, particularily in Rome. Or maybe it’s just that because I was in Rome everything seemed exceptional. Don’t suppose that really matters. I like Pavement as well. Two bands with a similar sounding lead vocalist named after things very… civilized.<\/p>\n
I wonder if I really like Metaxa, or I just think I do\/should. I wonder if that question really has much of a meaning.<\/p>\n
Why is it that to my unfocused eyes I was convinced that “Devotion” was really “Dresden”?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
