F.A.Q.

Why Am I Here
Probably because of a wayward link, or a foolishly worded search engine query. Maybe you slipped through an interdimensional portal like in that awful show Sliders.

Why Are You Here
Shits and giggles. Sublimation. Boredom. Radioactive amounts of unchanneled psychic energy.

What's Your Nationality
Canadian of Manitoban descent.

Describe Yourself In Five Words Or Less
Coocoo for Cocoa Puffs.

What Time Is It
You can check that here.

Why Do You Write So Much Nonsense
Over the course of a day, little things add up: I get snubbed somehow, in some way; I lose something; I sleep through something important; I continually forget and misplace my priorities. It all adds up, is digested in my mind and, if not removed, causes ulcers and cancer. So I remove it. But because it's been stewing so long in my digestive system, it is transformed. Just like when a bulimic vomits out her meal, it comes out different. Worse for wear. Even, perhaps, tastier--because when you've been forcefed the excrement of a thousand goats, some mildly repellent vomit is a marked improvement.

Why The Latent Hostility Toward Bulgaria
I don't want to talk about it!

Why Call It A French Kiss When Italians Do It Better
In a word: racism.

But, What Ends When Symbols Shatter
I don't know.

What's Your Falklands War Protest Song
"Spirit of the Falklands" by New Model Army. Funny you should ask.

What's With All The Excesses And Aberrations
I refer to E.M. Cioran: "Our excesses and our aberrations derive from our combat with unrealities, with abstractions, from our will to triumph over what does not exist--whence the impure, tyrannical, wandering aspect of philosophical works, moreover of any work at all."

Why "Head Wide Open" As A Title
I used the title because of its three connotations: an open mind, visible to the world; a head that has been split wide open by a forceful blow; and running towards an open space. All three interpretations are, in one way or another, what this site is all about.

Why Is This Place So Ugly
I could argue it's about substance over style--but it's more about laziness over the will to action. Maybe someday this will become beautiful--maybe someday Albania will become the economic powerhouse of Europe. Maybe, in some parallel universe, it already is.

Do You Believe What You're Saying
Yeah, right now but not that often.

Will The Armenian Bashing Cease
Not for the foreseeable future. My plan is to continue my personal Armenia bashing until it reaches the level of global America bashing. I'll move on from there, country by country, until all the hatreds and prejudices of the world are at the same level. Then the universe will finally reach the perfect equilibrium where, since everyone hates everyone equally, it will no longer qualify as hate--but simply the misanthropic but morally equalized global norm.

You On Point, Tip
All the time, Phife.

What Is The Best Answer To A Question Ever
"No, a proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof, and when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven."
- Jean Chretien, answering a question as to what proof was necessary for Canada to join the Iraq war

You Didn't Really Answer Anything, Did You
No.
