I realized that maxim holds true long ago when I was trying to get this bitch up and running. I was going through the motions of visiting other peoples’ blogs and leaving polite, insincere comments to drive traffic to this blog. That method didn’t last long because I quickly realized that the internet holds far more worthy enemies than it does friends. The problem with *that* idea is inherent in the supposed “theme” of this blog. I didn’t pick “The Science of Apathy” as a name because it had a nice ring to it. I picked it because my attitude regarding most things is either “that’s nice but I don’t care” or “that sucks but I don’t care.”

I care about the most important issues such as family, friends, the environment, the election, the economy and the least important issues such as gaming, undead crisis mitigation strategies, painting little plastic soldiers, feline psychology, and mayhem. I figure the stuff in the middle of those two extremes is all fluff.

The internet is mostly about fluff. My efforts to write a reactionary blog were largely destined for failure.

I need to sit down and make a list of 20 or so topics that I want to write about. I definitely want to do a series of posts/illustrations that explore various courses of action that a person might take in the event of an unplanned xenopregnancy. For all you laypeople a xenopregnancy is when an alien implants some kind of embryo inside of your gut. Alien and Eraserhead are two examples of films that explore the subject.

I’d much rather write about that than anything in the news. There are plenty of other blogs covering the important issues much better than I ever could. I might do ONE post about the election but that’s all.
