No more celebrity cheesecake posts -- I promise!

I hope you found my brief foray into celebrity blogging as wildly entertaining as I did. Lots of stupid celebrity seekers found the site. I wonder what they thought when I indirectly insulted them for searching for "Ashley Greene nude photos?" Actually, they probably didn't think much -- most of them saw that there were no nude photos and quickly resumed their quests. Anyway, it was fun, and I hope that the smart people who read this blog regularly (all 17 of you) found it entertaining. I did lose some Twitter followers over it. Oh well. I have no room in my life (or on my blog) for people who don't get my sense of humor.

Like the "Heidi Montag Playboy Pics" and "Ashley Greene nude photos" crowd, I'm on a quest, and that's what I'm going to blog about for the next few weeks. Everybody's looking for something. It's the fundamental human story, the story from which all other stories emerge, the mother of all stories, if you will pardon the cliché. Read it all

What can a celebrity starlet's latest moneymaking move tell us about Google?

Hooboy -- thank goodness I still have a small and dedicated band of fans reading the site regularly! If I were totally dependent on Google for traffic, it would be pointless to continue. I think this site gets something like 15 visitors a day from Uncle G these days -- pretty sad. During the height of the election battle last year, the Goog delivered a few thousand a day to these pages. Read it all

Oh, how the mighty have fallen!

Heidi Montag will be bearing her big plastic boobs in Playboy, the magazine confirmed today. Another once-proud institution decimated by the toxic pseudo fame so prevalent in our rapidly decaying society. Read it all

Every once in a while I get in one of these moods where I just want to rock some people. It always seems to happen at the worst possible time. It's a rainy, muggy, stinky day in the City that Never Sleeps, and I don't feel like venturing out into the night with my guitar in search of action and adventure.

I hate the smell of garbage in the summer. Say what you want about the French (and the rich), but at least they have the sense to leave the cities during the hottest, smelliest part of the summer.

I wish I were in Canada or high in the Rockies or Maine or anywhere cool and fresh.

As many of you (well, the 14 or so of you who read regularly, anyway) know, I've been writing about the dollar bubble for several months. My theory is that the value of the dollar itself is a bubble like the housing bubble and the tech bubble. Like all bubbles, this one will pop or be deflated, and it will be ugly indeed. Imagine a world where everything cost a lot more. Read it all

Starts off well and gets better and better 'til the last frame. The music is original, a little piece called "Catharsis" that I'll release soon in its entire stereophonic splendor, perhaps with video as well. We shall see.

You can't hide from me in the BVI or Kiev.

There is nothing -- NOTHING!!! -- that pisses me off more than finding my work on someone else's site without a link back to the Greatest Site on the Entire Internet™, CharlieHipHop.com or even attribution. It will be a very bad day for you when I arrive in Tortola, XXXXXX XXXXXXXX, of XXXXXX XXXX, LLC, headquartered at XXXXXXXXX, you thieving little punk-@ss b!tch. Cheaters never win and winners never cheat. You're about to learn that lesson the hard way. It would have been much easier for you to simply follow the attribution guidelines and give me a little credit. I don't even care that you're making money off my work. There's plenty to go around. Just give me goddamn credit, you slimy f*ckwad! Read it all

If you've been following, you know what I'm talking about.

I feel good -- really good. It's been harder than I expected, but everything worth doing is kinda' hard, at least that's been my experience so far.

So if you're wondering, yeah, I'm still good.

Peace.
