Sense and Senselessness

Dear Reader: I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Are you ready? OK, come a little closer... I don't want the whole world to hear... Just YOU. OK, that's close enough (you may want to switch to a stronger mouthwash... I'm just sayin'...).

The secret is this: Sometimes, there's more going on here than meets the eye. Most of the time, I try to make this site humorous and entertaining. Sometimes the occasional ugly unfiltered deviation slips in, but that's definitely the exception, and not the rule.

I also use this site, and my writings, to try and make sense out of things that happen to me. Big things. Little things. In-between things. Things that seem utterly and totally senseless to me. Sometimes it works. Sometimes I can cast an event in the spotlight of humor, laugh about it, then revisit it a day or two later, and answers start to become apparent. Not always, though. Sometimes, I can laugh about something, then reflect upon it again a few days later (or longer), and it still seems senseless. Perhaps some things are destined to NEVER make sense. As a computer programmer, I like to think that every problem can be figured out logically. However, all those bits and bytes do not necessarily translate to the human condition so easily, or so readily.

So, while you may not necessarily SEE what lies beneath the surface of the funny stuff, rest assured that there's SOMETHING there, more often than not. And all things considered, this is a hell of a lot cheaper than paying a therapist.

But remember... it's OUR little secret.
