Yeah, I’ve heard she got into drugs. She wrote about it under a pseudonym, Theda Vinchycode. Strangely enough, she called that book Dan Brown as well. I guess she’s in a rut.

It was so wacky, when I got home from work yesterday there was a story on Book Chat about Angelsan DeMons!

She seems troubled. It said her book Dan Brown sold millions but that it wasn’t enough for her to be happy.

I'm interested in things

I began reading The Places In Between by Rory Stewart. It is a not-fiction book about a Scotsman who walks across Afghanistan in 2002. It is interesting so far, because I like reading about adventure and language and culture and history. Mr. Stewart had previously walked through Iran, Pakistan, India and Nepal, too; in some of those places it is potentially dangerous being a Westerner, but he seems to have made it out alive.

I’d like to do something foolhardy and reckless as well, and write a book about it, so people will buy it and I will achieve every human’s life goal: fame and wealth. In fact, I wrote a poem about it this morning. I don’t much like it:

I would like to do something stupid
Then write a book about it
So that bored office workers will pay money to read it

I’m not sure what to do yet. I’m taking suggestions. I’m kind of limited here, because I have a lovely wife and a child on the way, and also a kind family who cares about me (I think some of these adventurist types have lackluster families and/or unfortunate life situations, so they have motive to Get Wild) so I can’t do anything that may get me killed.

If you have an idea, let me know in the comments below.

Oh—I can’t take off too many days from work, I only get a few weeks per year. Also I don’t like birds. And dancing is right out. I’m not a fan of numbers or counting, or shells, either. And I don’t like eating gross things. Most of Western philosophy bores me. And I’m not good at acting. And I don’t care for sticky hands. Other than that I should be good to go.

I've finally found it. Now I can get all the treasures.

Oh! You've caught me at my doorworking

Post 535!!!

CELEBRATE POST 535!!!!!

Well, we did it everyone, we have reached post #535 (which is this post) here at Laser Blade. What a time it has been, huh? I never expected that this Internet experience would come so far since the first post back in December 2006. But it has, thanks to me, mostly. A little bit you, the reader, but mostly me.

What a ride. I've gone from only a handful of readers to over 15 in just under three years. I've explored my emotions in poems, I've posted delightful and thought-provoking videos, and I've even given some useful advice for you in your life.

Readers came along with me on the journey to super stardom on Here Come the Newlyweds, and were there for the hard crash landing as we were kicked off four weeks in. Laser Blade ratings went through the roof during the Here Come the Newlyweds era, registering a total of 75 pageviews directly attributable to our controversial rise and subsequent fall.

I don't have to tell you, folks--those are HUGE numbers.

So, along with the founding of our country, take some time out to Celebrate Post 535 this holiday weekend.

GET IN ON THIS

I’ve decided to start one of these Ponzo Schemes I’ve been hearing about, and I need investors. I don’t quite see why more people don’t get in on these more often… seems like easy money to me!

Let me know if you are interested in investing, or want to come on the payroll as an adviser. I’m guaranteeing returns of at least 8%, probably more.
