Half-Assed Meme

[sisabet]

I'm distressed and concerned about the state of sockkpuppett, so various posts I had planned about The Driveby Truckers and how their song "Putting People on the Moon" should be required listening for the Democratic National Committee, questions about writing processes, bitching about my funky use of dissolves in past vids, and new site squeeing - none of it is gelling.

So, I'm inventing a meme - I call it the 50% or Half-Assed Meme:

John Sheppard is Darien Fawkes at 50% Power.

My stomach acid levels are at 50% because I have to get my picture taken tomorrow. I risked increasing them by another 50% when I complained that I don't think B&W is the way to go for me and mom just scheduled another sitting. I take back my thoughts that my coloring was my best feature. It is soooo not. Black and White is classy and cool and I totally remembered to buy a black turtleneck today (mainly cause I got feedback on Weeping Willow and as a result watched the vid again and went "Oh, yeah - I have to buy a turtleneck").

My gas tank is half full. Some might say it is half empty. They would also be correct.

Chances of me finishing any given project? About 1 in 2.

Who is my favorite Curtis Jackson? 50.

I had more but I forgot them. Chances of me remembering something important? Actually way less than half.

Weirdly, so far Darien reminds me *a lot* of Mike, from My Own Private Idaho (rentboy played by the departed River Phoenix). Maybe it's just the red pants.

Yay, Drive-By Truckers! I love them so much. (seeing them in a 2 night stand this weekend woohoo.) One of the reasons that they are so amazing is that each of the 3 song writers in that band speaks beautifully and powerfully to what it means to be Southern and in the south now. And Patterson, Jason, and Cooley each say those things in slightly different ways. So with the whole band you get a more all encompassing take on everything. Everyone in the band is crazy talented and wonderful and together they are a perfect band.
