Today, I was thinking about how annoying spambots are in cyberspace, making it necessary for people to try to disguise their email addresses by spelling everything out, which I'm sure by now there are spambots designed to figure out anyway, and my brain's just rambling on and on along this line of thought when it spat out:
Uh, okay. Whatever. Sounds like a movie title. Musing about why the brain does this sort of thing reminded me of a time years ago when I read through most of Gary Larson's material in a couple of weeks. This seemed to flip a switch in my brain and funny Larsonesque-type cartoons kept popping into my head. Too bad I can't draw worth a damn...
Today, the homepage set on my computer won't load properly. I'm not sure what's going on with it but the problem was getting annoying so I reset the homepage. I'd like it on a page with news headlines (any suggestions?) but didn't feel like taking the time to look for one that isn't just mainstream regurgitated "amuse the masses so they don't notice the lack of real economic recovery" crap so I lazily set it to my blog for now.
Do you know what this means?
Scary. Maybe the spambots did eat my brain...
Please tell me I am not the only one with a warped brain. I need some reassurance here, folks...

I am my own homepage!
ROTFLOL! that's really funny!
I don't know what news site other than the usual MSM suspects are good. I usually check yahoo.news at some point in the day and yahoo finance but I go to other blogs, too and they all have an emphasis of oil, finanace, food storage, etc. None of them are my home page though. I use my own photos at flickr.com or my own paid for pages
for muy homepage.
peace, shamba
Are there any news sources with headlines that aren't focusing on "amusing the masses"? I haven't found them.
So, what I did was to set-up a Yahoo "my" page, and I can pick from a number of different news sources including the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, The Guardian (out of the UK), and a couple of others. My thought (hope) is that in that way I'll get a little piece of info here and a little piece there, and be able to weed out the crap and piece together the nuggets until I get a real picture of the way things are. I don't know if it's working, because this morning I actually happened upon a story about octo-Mom's appearance on the View. Could you get anymore who gives a shit than that?
OOOOOOH> BE AFRAID> BE VERY AFRAID. IN CYBERSPACE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU LOL!
You are definitely not alone in that. Weird crap jumps into my brain all day long. The good thing is that it amuses me quite often.
On Facebook I generally change my profile picture every few days while others keep the same one for a year. One day I just thought "I am my own emoticon." Not very different from being your own homepage and in a way it really seems true and right on both counts.
Often use my own website for a home page, then, switch around. I'm not going to say you're normal, but, in this ONE instance, closer than you want to be...
Your brain is a topic I shall simply enjoy and not attempt to dissect. Just keep sharing...
Well, home is where the heart is, so the homepage is ... in your heart? I just set it to be blank when I open my browser. Then I can load whatever I want.
My sweetie got the old homepage issue fixed (by removing Quiktime from our computer). It was driving me nuts not having a regular homepage with a search function available. I do a lot of searches throughout the day. :)
