Y’know, I had the free time..

I just couldn’t make myself write a post this weekend. I wanted to, oh yes. I had a bunch of links hanging out as shortcuts on my desktop. I was a-thinkin’ “god damn, look at all that content! This will be a post to remember!” Unfortunately, somewhere between the clicking the “Write” button and writing this post-to-remember, I became disenchanted. I thought to myself, “why should I bother? No one goes to gonad.org. Why waste my time?!”

Fortunately, I now think I was wrong.

You may recall my post on the Evangenitals (well, I recall it at least). Well, Juli Crockett (or is that Julio? My attempt at stalking didn’t provide much other than the fact that Juli(o) is female. I don’t know any girls named Julio, but then again..) from the band was nice enough to visit and comment on the post. This strikes me as an important milestone. Never before has any damn thing ever linked on this site actually drawn the attention of whoever/whatever it was linked to. Well, I guess that’s not entirely true… I think the dude from Wacky Weasel World posted a comment in the old shoutbox since I probably sent a lot of confused vistors to his site from here with our “we suck so bad, we were gonna steal the tagline from wackyweaselworld.com” tagline Although, they techincally no longer have a tagline (nor do we!), so that makes little sense… ANYWAY!

I know neither the Evangenitals nor Juli are big stars, or anyone I should be getting overly excited over, but I think this is exactly what I’ve really wanted gonad.org to be about. So much of the internet is churned out of crazy stories and unique ideas, all backed by the drive, determination or boredom of so many interesting people. And every piece of it is somehow interconnected and related, and most importantly it has to be shared. The good part is learning out what those links are–figuring out just how everything is related.

I don’t think having this ideal as a goal for gonad.org is far fetched. I think its easy to do: just let people tell you what they like, what they found funny, what pisses them off, but I think the important part is that these opinions get back to the source! Not criticism, constructive or otherwise, but just an indication that one person read what you wrote, or heard what you played, or saw what you made. Just a head nod to confirm what you put your efforts into meant something to someone.

So, yeah, I’m nuts.

Although it seems a bit sad that I’m writing a post on, uh, comments from another post.. I might as well continue with more of the same!

Also featured in the comments of this Evangenitals post that I’ve only mentioned like 65 times, is a “stimulating” comment from Chris Blais from the band Beautiful Mess. He was nice enough to plug the Evangenitals’ CD “We Are The Evangenitals” which can be bought at CD Baby. The site also features streaming clips of all of the tracks on the album (track 3 is a great cover of “Hey Ya” by Outkast, retitled “Hey Ya’ll” appropriately).

Be sure to also check out Beautiful Mess on MySpace. I really dig their song “Cigarettes.”

(And to think I wanted to keep this short and sweet..)
