Gak!

How'd this happen?  How did i end up on this site and acting as if i'm going to write a journal entry?  How long has it been?  A year?  No.  Lies.  Half that. 

Now that you're here, what are you going to do, Marlon?  You going to finish this entry?  Like so many of your dead projects?  Besides, it's been said that people who journal are much more likely to have anxiety problems or something.  Science says so.  Or did science say that people who have anxiety write journals?  Science always seems to change it's mind.

Screw science, that flippant jerk, i can conduct my own experiment on journals and the effects on my own person.  I learned the scientific method in grade 8, this should be easy.  Let's see...

Objective: To observe and record the physiological and emotional effects of writing on Marlon's human brain.  Not writing on Marlon's brain but the act of writing on Marlon's brain.  Er...you know what it means.

Hypothesis: Marlon will sporadically and unevenly write entries, thusly making data gathering a rather difficult hoop-jumping affair and a test of the core beliefs/practices of science itself.  Possibly resulting in the degradation of scientists' reputations around the world and the need for a new scientific method.

Equipment: Marlon's Brain, delicious Orange-Carrot flavoured Sobe beverages and Winamp.

Procedure: Mix equipment in a small apartment.  Chill and enjoy.

Observation: Marlon has written one entry.  No physiological differences can be seen at this point, i.e. he has not sporadically lost any hair nor grown a full beard.  Seems to be getting some sort of satisfaction at the simple notion that he is in fact writing something.  Anything.

Conclusion: Science cannot help him grow a beard.

Well.  That was an interesting experiment.  Though, there are seven steps to the scientific method.  I forget what it is.  But, it was fun and I suppose we might be seeing more of each other, journal.  But not too much more.

I'm off to the Toad.
