Selfish Paranoia and Pork Products

Blogging is basically mental masturbation to an extreme level unless you are posting interesting information like some of the blogs I habitually read that are at turns educational, entertaining, frustrating, heartrendering, and unbelievably wild. The medical blogs are particularly exciting (read paramedic or emergency room nursing ones to get some great stories and insights into the troubles this country has with our healthcare system and socio-economics in both the urban and rural areas, enlightening and thought provoking).

However, the aloneness out there is disturbing and comforting to me on many blogs that are opened just to give the writer an outlet to pour their soul into. Their reaching out into the cybersphere that connects so many of use seemingly randomly and invisibly over nothing more then a ISDN, phone or cable line. If nothing else it proves that people are much more the same then different and far more compassionate, witty, bold, crazy, intelligent, and just plain available then I could have ever imagined. Not only that, but there is someone out there interested in just about anything awake at just about anytime somewhere. Including pretty wacky taxidermy that takes the cake for being creative. I imagine that must be a rather messy hobby.

Had some moist and tenderly scrumptious pork chops last night that I did not slave over, but were prepared with TLC by my boyfriend. I suggest to anyone out there who is listening that white meat be brined since that is the best way to preserve the juices of the meat and infuses it with heavenly flavors that will make you float away with each bite.
