Due to circumstances out of Luke's control, this blog will be shut down until she, er, those circumstances are under control.

Uh Hi honey it's me. You know sometimes things are better said in writing then they are face to face. Well I have a few small confessions and points of interests I wanted to share with you. I thought that since your blog is such a secret thing and nobody really sees it that it was probably the safest way to tell you. I didn't want to write it on loose-leaf three holed paper because one of us could leave it around and someone might see it.
Ok, first of all the speedo has to go. Nobody needs to wear one of those. Secondly that smell is just getting worse. This next one kind of affects other people, because our neighbor's cat is now wearing a neck brace. She asked me to inform you that you probably need to close the blinds when you decide to play naked air guitar. She said that she saw you do that, what i think is that incredible Pete Townshend jump where you land on your knees while screaming. Well, she tried to reach over and cover her small childrens faces but succeeded in dropping the cat on its cat head instead. She says that her children now ask her if they can watch the funny naked man jumping on his bed. She said they don't watch TV anymore though.

Ok, well I love you, and if you want to talk about any of this then just know that I'm here for you.

It warms my heart to know that, when given the opportunity, my beloved wife stoops to making boy-part jokes to amuse her loved ones. And it warms my heart that those loved ones still laugh heartily at juvenile humor. Maybe this is the Thompson legacy. I'd always hoped for a great band or a well received text, the reputation of being a great teacher, or for Galadriel to produce a groundbreaking piece of art. Maybe my family is simply meant to go down in history for our ability to instantly pickle off an ever-so-slightly off-colored joke, then say "What?? Oh.. you thought I meant... come on man, grow up, that's just gross!!"

*By the way, the word of the week is Lame-O. eg, when Anthony walked up to that girl in the bar and asked her if she was a model, that was Lame-O

*Whereas Levi tossing care to the wind by going ahead and growing out some monster anti-goat Wolverine chops would definitely not be Lame-O

Psst. I snuck into my husbands blog! te he he he. Heellllllllllllllllloooooooooooooo Luke: )
Geez you're a swell guy you know. Love you muy mucho tons and tons. Hey does the world get to see this. I sure hope not. I mean I don't want to say anything that might embarrass you. I mean I'm sure you wouldn't want anyone knowing that you have a thing for one of your best friends. I mean Sco might start feeling kind of uncomfortable around you knowing that you often say his name in your sleep. Oh, by the way your medication has come in. The note on it says that it might take 2 to 3 weeks for that burning itch to stop. It's not a topical solution, so don't apply the stuff directly to "it", but mix it in a drink. Just not grapefruit juice. It's a bad combo making urination that much more painful. Ok bye bye.

Obviously I've decided that a blog is a great place to share with the world my thoughts on anything.

"Hey, it doesn't take much shallowness to make a person not want to love a horribly disfigured person."
-Me, after asking Galadriel whether or not she would still love me
if I looked like I do when I shove all of the fat on my face towards
my nose with my hands.

I awoke this morning to the sound of heavy rain pelting my roof and running rhythmically down the window directly behind our bed. I had a breakfast of biscuits and gravy with good friends to look forward to, and as Galadriel nudged me to hit the snooze button, these words came to my mind:

Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt
In solitude where we are least alone;
A truth, which through our being then doth melt
And purifies from self: it is a tone,
The soul and source of music, which makes known
Eternal harmony, and sheds a charm,
Like to the fabled Cytherea's zone,
Binding all things with beauty;--'twould disarm
The spectre Death, had he substantial power to harm.

-Lord Byron

Been pondering my dependance on poo jokes to make others laugh

2001-02-18T17:42:00.000-08:00

I've been thinking quite a bit about relationships recently. Most of this thinking is spurred on by talks with friends and/or my wife, Galadriel. So anyway, I was thinking about how funny it is that when two people first meet or start hanging out they celebrate their similarities so much. "You like alcohol and dancing? Whoa!! I like alcohol and dancing!!" And things really happen that way. So I was thinking, that's nice, that two people can have some things in common to share with each other. But probably some people should ask the right kinds of questions first. For instance, When I was a kid, I had a bad habit of sometimes forgetting to flush the toilet. I don't know what the deal is. Probably some deep psychological illness that caused me to think "If it deals with my poo, let someone else take care of it." Cut to a wooden bench in a small, pretty park. Two young people are getting to know one another; maybe a first date. Boy says "Yeah, I just hate flushing the toilet. My poo isn't gonna cause anybody any harm." Girl says "Oh my gosh, that's unbelieveable! I hate flushing too!! I mean, it's like, what if there are germs on the handle, or what if I'm wasting water or something!?!" BAM!! They're in love. "Let's move in together!!" You get the picture.

Luke here, back on the blog, and hopefully for good. I've been persuaded by my wife and my good friend Sco to finish what I've (sort of) started here, and I'm both excited and apprehensive. I'm excited about the exercise in writing that a blog by nature is, and I'm apprehensive about the avenues of content I should take. I tend to lean toward specificity; I would, in other words, be more comfortable writing posts with a narrow purpose, ie. music reviews, thoughts on what I've been reading, etc. than I would be simply opening a personal forum of contemplation on anything. Perhaps I find security in parameters. I'll work on it.
