I don't think I've ever done an update of just one site before. But, realistically, I couldn't put anything else with this.
I'll let you in on a little secret. As I find sites worthy of being noted for their "randomness" I bookmark then in a special folder called "disturbing." I'm sure, looking back at some of my earlier honorees, you can see why I chose that title. But today, this site typifies that concept so completely that I can't bring myself to dilute it with any other links.
Gene Ray, the people behind Absürd Örg, MSN.com, they all have a long way to go before they can hope to approach the frighteningly bewildering mess that is... whatever this site is. I'm not even sure that title is a title. I don't know what anything on that page is. Oh -- I recognize little bits and pieces, but they don't come together to make anything rational.
I dreamed the other night that I had hair. It's weird. I don't miss my hair. I shaved it off for a reason after carefully considering it. Okay, I was sick and running a fever at the time I did it and my judgment was somewhat impaired. So I had much more difficulty than if I'd planned it out properly. But, it was something I was thinking about doing -- with a clear mind -- for some time before then. It's just I was running a fever and sweating constantly, so it seemed a good time to take the plunge.
Anyway, I occasionally dream of hair. Usually, I've been too busy to shave for several days (in the dream) and my hair has grown back faster that is rationally possible. This will present problems like locating a comb, or, as was the case the other day, a ponytail holder. Yes, in no more than a week, my hair had grown so long that I needed to pull it back in a ponytail. That would not surprise people who've known me long enough. Before I did away with hair completely, I used to frequently wear it quite long.
It's amazing how thick and full my hair is in these dreams. It was never really that good in real life. Which is amusing when I think back on the complements I would get on my hair. (Women will say any stupid thing when flirting.) If I tried to grow it out now, it would be incredibly thin and sparse on top. The main reason I shave my head is, I feel that bald is a much better look than a comb-over.
I don't miss my hair. It was never that good. So, it's odd that I have these dreams.
