Religion, Spirituality, God, Faith, Interfaith – & Wikipedia
Forgive Me, but I Don’t Feel Like Thinking Today
And so I just wanted to mention that if anyone hasn’t noticed by now that the words “religion,” “spirituality,” “God,” “faith” and “interfaith” are crammed into as many post titles as I can manage, it’s because I don’t know what I’m doing, but somebody else does. That is, my webmeister tells me she’s optimized my whatever for these words – my search engines? Browser? Cache? Cachet? Tricorder? Anyway, I’m told that for technical reasons, it’s a good idea for me to use those words in blog post titles, and so I do.
Like most semi-bedridden guys trying to launch a book, I want to do what I can to help people who might be interested in my topic locate this site. But those particular words for titles are becoming so much mental mush. Some days I have to wonder if I can come up with another bunch. I feel out to lunch - or sometimes, in my darkest hours, like I’m alone on the decks of the Titlanic.
Normally, I like doing titles; but who likes the feeling of having his titles constrained? It would be so titillating to title more expansively. As it is, I feel that my titles have become merely titular – and just at a time when, owing, perhaps, to my condition, I desire to impregnate them more than ever with warmth, creativity, verve, vernacular, joie de vivre, double entendre, je ne sais quoi. Or at least a greater variety of vocabulary words, perhaps French.
But no such scintillating titles for me; I’m on a diet – not entitled. It feels like a diet of worms. Diet of Worms?? What was “The Diet of Worms?” I should know that, even if it does sound bad... let’s see… click… type… enter… oh, yeah - thanks, Wikipedia.
But I digress . . .
Thought for Today
Thanks to Wikipedia, the many free associations still rattling around in our heads from college have become the seeds of Knowledge.
Yes! Those long years of multiple choice tests were worth it after all... Wire mesh monkey! Stanley Milgram! Tricorder!

CRYSTAL: I hadn't noticed that aspect of your blog, will have to look more closely at the titles...
But that wire mesh monkey study was invaluable! It allowed the scientific community to recognize that baby monkeys do better when raised by actual monkeys rather than wire mesh screening. I mean, sure, anyone could have CONJECTURED such a thing, but to prove it empirically - that's hard science right there.
I wonder if they've ever experimented with using wire mesh monkeys instead of webmasters.
VISHESH: So then, I see that you and Vincent are about equally qualified to be my web master. This is not meant disparagingly; I'm pretty sure either of you would work better than a wire mesh monkey.
GOLLYGEE: That would be so pragmatic if only it were really practical... I think I have to place you in the same category as Vincent and Vishesh for web advisor, lol...
let's throw some here too. Religion, Spirituality, God, Faith, Interfaith.
there.
unless your comments are 'nofollow', then it won't be of any use when i throw them here.
you would forgive me for messing up your comment box eh? that's unconditional forgiveness, you sweet lover boy. and yahoo singles should have hit you long ago. if i were living nearer, i'll want to date you.
Stay in your high spirit

However, considering the "topic" of my post, I can't say I don't deserve it...
MISTI - Thanks for those five words, I hope they help. Yeah, Yahoo singles - they just don't know what they're missing.
But if you lived nearer you'd only want to live further. I'd be hitting on you to take my trash to the curb, wash my eyeglasses, pick up prescriptions - you know how men can be...
NASRA - And your post reminded me of how things normally are. Sounds like you may need a "webmeister" yourself - I know nothing in this area but I guess there are a lot of tricks.
HAZZBUZZ - That's acually a pretty good description of my sister, at least some days - minus the word avuncular. There must be an equivalent, but I'm clueless.
Auntish??
(sorry I'm out of order and not part of the consecutive three. but at least I did write the above before I went back and read comments, so it does count.)
MISTI: It's true, yahoo singles should change their focus from romantic entanglements - who really needs that - to single people volunteering to assist the severely disabled and elderly. They'd just need to tweak their concept a little bit...
do you have the ability to track your visitors back to their original search? Could be entertaining...
"Hier stehe ich. Ich kann nicht anders. Gott helfe mir. Amen."
"Here, I stand. I can do nothing else. God help me. Amen."
I love doing titles..they should be memorable and enticing...I still don't know how or why people find Blogs that way.
Ich mag titles..they tun sollte denkwürdig sein und verleitend... weiß ich noch nicht wie oder, warum Leute Blogs finden, das Weise....or if you want to try French...
J'aime faire titles..they devrais être mémorable et attirant... je ne sais toujours pas comment ou pourquoi les gens trouvent Blogs qui manière.

ya gotta love it..even if the translations are a bit wonky.
Fortunately there's sis...
DONN: So now I know where to turn when it's time for my book to come out in translation...
WHAT'S WITH ALL OF THE YELLING!
I sure hope that he doesn't try to 'make a wide magenate field with his channelised cosmic energy' over at my place..
especially on a Monday.
I can't imagine how people think this kind of thing helps their cause. I think this is the first all-caps spam I ever get, which to me screams DON'T READ ME, so I didn't prior to the deleting which I'm about to do...
No need for guessing any more!
Too much "inspiration," too little time I guess - most likely a good thing...
