The Ryno Pen

Welcome. Take a look around.

You’ve happened on one of those bleak spots in the pleasant online realm. It isn’t so much social networking as such, because my real-life self is not wired to be very social. I don’t mind an exchange of ideas, though. That’s probably one purpose of this blog: a surrogate social life.

The second purpose is, quite bluntly, self-preservation. When you hear enough of a song, like that bloody awful Birdy Dance, it sticks in your head and gradually eats up whatever your brain uses in lieu of cache and CPU resources. If you don’t find a distraction, you’re fucked. I’m like that with negativity: I’ve picked up a few catchy tunes, and the dance that goes with them has some fairly risky moves. Just think of the stream of guff I post here as Rock, up against the Scissors of my nagging self-destructive impulses. We’re in for a good ride until Paper shows up, whatever it is.

Thirdly, when I’m not questioning myself or staring into the abyss, I create stuff and occasionally show a little warped reason (or even humour).

Is this going to turn out as Blue Poles or a drip cloth?

Buggered if I know.
