"Ladies and gentleman, I'm pleased to welcome tonight's main act to the center stage! Now, you realize that I can't let them come on until I build a little tension. Most of the time, announcers try to heighten the anticipation for the upcoming act by touting some of their achievements and members. However, I have decided to take the road less travelled by in this particular case. Thats enough tension for now!"

I don't really know what the point of the preceding paragraph was, but if anyone out there figures it out, please let me know as soon as you can. Also, I appear to have misplaced my sanity. If you find a small stick figure dressed in old Innsmouth phonebooks sewn together by long spinner's legs, please feed it an oreo and a glass of milk (whole milk, grommit!) and send it back to me. Remember to punch holes in the top of the cardboard box. I need to lock it back up and make sure it never gets out to bother the world again.

"I just flew in from LA, and boy are my arms tired!"

You can attribute much of the nonsense and chaos to the fact that I am almost (but not quite) done reading Smoke and Mirrors(the one by Neil Gaiman!). And the fact that I am talking to Val online... so sometimes the thoughts get crossed and the keyboard gets confused... but not _that_ confused!

Once in a while I walk in the woods, trying on my alliteration. The lazy brown fox jumps over the quick dog. Once in a while, I walk with someone, trying on my wit. Be bold, be bold, but not too bold. Once in a while, I just think to myself, trying on my zen. If I go crazy (return to the extreme) will you be there, holding my hand? Once in a while, I stop missing someone. All I want is a little yes or no! Hmm... it has ocurred to me that this paragraph could be misconstrued as a rip-off of Staind's song. Bummer... plagiarism is some of my best work.

*ahem* Endnotes, footnotes, pagenotes, and author's notes! Come and get them! Otter's spleens, get em while they're hot, they're lovely!

Okay... the first paragraph is nonsense. I just kind of had it running through my head (not really) and I decided to put it down. The next paragraph is just me abusing my sanity. Innsmouth is H.P. Lovecraft's little New England village for his horror stories. I have never read any of them, but I got it from Neil Gaiman, Smoke and Mirrors. The long spinner's legs are from Mercutio's diatribe in "Romeo and Juliet".

The next bit is due to the fact that I was trying to make things a little less confusing... but it didn't really work out that way, did it?

The last bit started as stream of consciousness, until I got to the third line and decided to alternate nonsense and quotes with sentences that began "Once in a while..." The lazy brown fox bit is a play on "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." Which is a sentence that people used to use to test typewriters, because it uses every letter at least once. "Be bold..." is from a Neil Gaiman short story that I read last night. "If I go crazy.." is a mash of lines from "Kryptonite", by Three Doors Down. "All I want..." is from The Matrix, when Cypher is in the ship and asking Trinity whether or not she thinks Neo is The One.

The otter's spleens reference is from The Life of Brian, when he is selling food in the arena stands. Now you know the rest of the story.

BTW, for the really nitpicky among us. The name of the file (rain.html) is taken from "JTR" by Dave Matthews, cause theres a line that says "Rain, rain, rain, on me" and it was kinda stuck in my head for a bit. The title (Ordinary boy...) comes from an Our Lady Peace song, "Superman's Dead".
