Nothing Is Different But Everything Has Changed.

My life has come to a virtual stand still. That's why I didn't bother posting.

Because I would have to make stuff up.

And with all the real stuff going on in the world, like O.J. Simpson getting arrested for robbery, who has time to write or read made-up stuff?

But now that I have started blogging something has happened! I just found a new favorite drink: Coke and Scotch!

I guess it isn't the most exciting news, but it was John Lennon's favorite drink. So in a way, I guess that makes me like a fifth Beetle. But I don't want to dwell on that thought for too long lest, I taint my modesty.

And on that humble note, I end my triumphant return to blogging.

Justin Is In Intense Training.

"Few people love the writings of Sir Thomas Browne, but those who do are of the salt of the Earth."
--Virginia Woolf




You probably wouldn't know this, but I have started taking my writing seriously.

I have been training myself so that I may absolutely solidify my status as a top blogger in the fourth quadrant of Cleveland Heights.

I picked up on a habit, that many great bloggers have employed: I type out a page from a work of prose I want to emulate.

Example. Every morning for the last month I have typed out a page from Sir Thomas Browne. No doubt the more perceptive of my readers have already noticed that my own prose style has been heavily influenced by his.

I copy his words, gaining strength. I try to learn what made him great. Day after day, I try to model the movement of my fingers, the structure of sentences, the selection of ideas on Sir Thomas Browne.

Finally, the lessons of the master are starting to guide me.

If I am to be great, as Sir Thomas Browne was great, I must absolutely insist that I henceforth be referred to as Sir Justin Kahn.

Thank you,

--Sir Justin Kahn.

Ordinarily I wouldn’t post on Tuesday, but I have such an exciting news to make that I simply had to share it with the world: The First Successful Spin-Off of Concept of Irony has entered the blogosphere.

In the quest for happiness, I asked my former man servant, why I haven’t been able to find a deep and meaningful relationship through the power of computers. Because the fact is, while I am great at being an Internet superstar, I don’t really understand much of the online world.

Justin: I keep trying fine dating sites. Yet, I am unable to find a girl

Curtis:(Looks at computer, shakes head disapprovingly) Well,look. Here is the problem. I’d say you should get Mac.

Justin: Are you saying the type of computer you use can alter your chances of finding your soul mate?

Curtis: Especially with the new vista system. That is crap. What I am saying is that if you have a Dell, you deserve to die alone. If you had a Mac, you probably would have found that special someone.

So as for me, I’m saving up for a mac.

As for you, if you ever need tech advice, be sure to visit Tech Review By Curtis O.K. maybe, right now Curtis hasn't written a single post. But give him time. Soon enough, Comrade K will be filling in for him.

The Concept of Irony Events Schedule: February.

"What is necessary, after all, is only this: solitude, vast inner solitude. To walk inside yourself and meet no one for hours--that is what you must be able to attain. To be solitary as you were when you were a child, when the grownups walked around involved with matters that seemed large and important because they looked so busy and because you didn't understand a thing about what they were doing. And when you realize that their activities are shabby, that their vocations are petrified and no longer connected with life, why not then continue to look upon it all as a child would, as if you were looking at something unfamiliar, out of the depths of your own solitude.."

--Rilke
Quoted in Anneli Rufus' Party of One: The Loner's Manifesto.


(Justin made up the flyer, but the book is real. If you are one of Justin's close personal friends, then good for you. But you probably already know a lot of this stuff. If you are stalking Justin and/or interested in developing a deeply intimate relationship with Justin, you would do well to read this book. On second thought if the later applies, skip the book. Justin is growing weary of his vast inner solitude.)
