I spent the last week in an insane asylum. Previous to being checked in, I had gone about five days without sleep. That's on the heels of another visit to the nut house I took down in Atlanta on Saturday at Interz0ne. Ladies and gentlemen, I have found the edge, and it sucks from here. I'm coming back now before I fall right off.

As usual, condolences go out to all the people whom I'm scare along the way. This may also be a good time to say, if for some reason I croak in one of my "manic" phases, there is a MemeStreams curse. It will be called the "Messiah Rattle" curse. Its on all the "top users" on the system below the very top Two. Its a binary thing. The system has tasted blood and grey matter, and it will only want more. Tom and Jeremy, you better watch your asses and keep recommending good content. Everyone else is just fucked. You must somehow survive among the mist of popularity. (At the time I typed "popularity", I think I heard Tom laugh all the way in Atlanta..) And don't worry about me, its kinda like Lain. Its neat "over there".. heh heh heh Seriously though.. I will not hurt myself. I will not hurt others. Myself, others, all good.. Really. Seriously! Stop laughing.. And don't touch that phone.

Seriously though.. Really. I reserve the right to make sick and twisted jokes in the face of mental illness. I have a massive email backlog right now, and several long rants I need to post of stuff I intended to talk about at Interz0ne related to MemeStreams. I had failing visual aids, insanity (mine and others), alcohol (mine and others), and a complete lack of marijuana, all working against me. There are several people who have expressed interest in working on the project with us, and this is good. As I have done a good job of proving, while I may be very good at coming up with ideas, I have the tendency to go off the (very) deep end every so often and wind up in a mental hospital.

Such is life. A project/service of any worth must be able to deal with these problems in order to scale. I am going to give myself a day or two of mental recovery before fully re-engaging, but I hope to have at the very least a list of serious tasks that must be done in order to get things moving along. I'll be sending various people some email's soon. If you were someone I spoke to at Interz0ne about the project, email me just so I have your contact information on record.

[U: One thing I care to be clear about. s/insane/crazy/ .. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I am clearly crazy, because I choose to do things in ways that are well, a little farther over the edge then most. I'll behave better. ]
