Happy Birthday!
One year ago today Bard first uttered these words:
"Yes, yes. This is my first post. Which means, there will be more posts coming. Scary thought, huh? And, none of them will have any relevant content. Aren't rants great?"
And so, insidedelirium.com was started and 3 online victims of circumstance would rant for an entire year about nothing. Yes, friends, today is the first anniversary of this site. Happy anniversary to us all. In honor of this joyous {cough} occasion, I've choosen three of my favorite posts and linked them below.
Bard's Reaction to Sept. 11 : Well, I don't really *have* to link this since it's still on the main page, but honestly, I think this post is the best of all the Sept. 11 posts. It honestly touched me.
Fave Excerpt:
"Growing up, the fabled stories of 2001 gave me great hope. There were supposed to be glorious space stations, world peace, people living on the moon, the end of poverty -- you name it, people said it. None of those really came to pass. To me, this officially ends my era of hope that the world would be a great place. This is but one of many things I am grieving for."
LadyX's Rant On Weight: Why do I like this one? It's dry, it's dark, it's witty, it's LadyX all the way. Although she is a bit on the harsh side to herself, the rant is hilariously funny.
Fave Excerpt:
"Why in the hell are all of the pants out now made out of stretch material? Since when have stretch-pants *ever* looked good on somebody? Even the tiny-figured girls look like crap wearing them...I'm not saying they should wear something big and baggy, but geez, those things just look tacky and gross."
As for the third of the trio, all of her posts are so good, it's hard to choose {grin}. JK, I even have a fave of my own.
My rant on Genetic Engineering: I dunno, I just like this one. I'm hardly going to call myself hilarious, deep, touching and witty...even though I am. I'm just going to say I liked this one. If that's not good enough for you, bite me.
Fave Excerpt:
"What the scientist really want to do is mimic certain deadly human genetic diseases in monkeys because monkeys are easier and more "ethical" test subjects (I doubt anyone asked the monkey about this conclusion). Personally, I think they should round up The Monkees and test on them. It's not as if the are actually making any real contribution to society. They should have to pay society back for unleashing such terrors as 'Valleri' and 'Daydream Believer.'"
So, there you go. My faves of 2001. Hope you enjoyed reading this site as much I enjoyed writing it!
