Hello Darkness! The Official Blog of Helen Keller

Well, folks, let's be honest. I forgot about the Comment Corner about a year and a bit ago. It's not like there's been a deluge of emails demanding it back (because there hasn't) but there have been some other topics that I've been wanting to simply put out there.

So, I'm going to relaunch the Corner. Even if it serves as my own little echo chamber that's fine. These thoughts bounce in my head and I find that writing them down and thinking them through is a catharsis that purges them and I can move on.

But I'm not planning on simply putting in new entries a la the old Corner. Reading over the previous entries, I found that the majority of the comedy seemed to flow from harsh language uniquely wound into common ideas. So, ejaculation became a dick sneeze. Alpha-male became Roided Cock-Rambo. (Note to self, last one not bad!)

You get the idea. The Corner became about, what I think, manufactured anger. Sure, some things out there really do piss me off, but that became the raison d'etre and I think quality suffered. The Corner Andrew Dice Clayed itself.

That said, I still like mean humour. I like humour that dares, but isn't necessarily something that looks like a late 90's Denis Leary cast-off.

Some of the titles that have crossed my mind instead of the Comment Corner:

Peace & Quiet: The Official Blog of Helen Keller (alternatively, Hello Darkness!)
Flyin' High: The Life and Times of John Denver
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The Lost Blog Entries of Anne Frank
Glenn Beck: Private Detective ~ Serial Rapist (hey, might even be true)
Soaked and Disappointed: The Titanic Tour Blog

Two topics that would be covered in the first few episodes of the relaunch:

1. The Defiantly Wrong.

2. Parents who wait till their late 30's to have kids, make a bunch of bad (or weird) decisions that fuels a superiority complex vis a vis parents in their mid 20's.

The new Corner will still cover Lost updates...which will consist of "Aaaaaand...it's still over."
