What is Word Associalization?

Great, so it's the first post, and it's already starting out sounding like a grammatic failure of a FAQ.  Well, for whatever reason, you've clicked on this blog because the name looked appealing or it's now 2012 and you're reading through my archives wondering how the hell I wasn't famous sooner.  Being that you blogstalkers from 2012 will already have knowledge regarding the nature of this blog, I'll go ahead and do a service to the people of 2010.

Word Associalization... well as you can already tell, I'm kind of a weird guy.  My entire life is an involuntary game of word association.  My friend says "I got this Garland at Garden Ridge the other day, and it really tied the room together" and I reply with "You need a rug to tie the room together."  As usual, I receive a tilted head and a blank stare for my slightly obscure Big Lebowski reference, but it's short-lived as my friends have come to understand that my perception of reality contains at least 46% fantasy elements (No, I don't have fantasies about Honda SUVs...which is a lie because now I am... and they are jumping fences because I'd much rather be sleeping than sitting here typing away.)  So, back on track because my ADHD doesn't quite allow me to do the usual "OMG did you see that episode of...wait I'm doing it again...so back on track because my ADHD doesn't quite allow me to do the usual" thing of working recursive humor and mindless word associations into my posts elsewhere, here I am.  I've often thought about starting a blog, but I figured it would be boring to both myself and the readers... a "blahg" of sorts.

What do I hope to accomplish with this blog?
Well, I'd compare it to the blood-letting of days long gone.  I think that an outlet for my uncontrollable alliterations to media and literary titles will help make me better... or I could inadvertently raise an army of like-minds that ride Jesus-clones into Washington with plans of a hostile takeover.  We'd start with Washington state and work our way up to the more influential one, I'm thinking.  I'd name us "Sons of God" since we (and I say "we" as though I've already psychologically manipulated you into joining) would ride them, which would be an intentional reference to Sons of Liberty, because I'm a fan of Hideo Kojima (like Facebook legit fandom here).  By the way, have you played Snatcher?

What will this blog contain?
It will contain words... sometimes big words... but usually middle-of-the-road words.  Although I consider myself decently educated, I admittedly don't read enough and certainly don't write enough to keep my mind razor sharp in the literary department.  I'm okay with this.  Dear Grammar Nazis, "NACHT DER UNTOTEN!!"  Oh right... I was finishing what is coincidentally turning out to REALLY be a FAQ. So I have these social situations, right?  Well these situations involve me making people feel very uncomfortable for not being able to understand what I'm talking about.  Their facial expression is usually a mixture of "laughing because I think I'm supposed to" and "do we need to take you to a hospital and have juggalos do tests on your head with the miracle magnets?" and perhaps a pinch of "He needs a therapist."  Speaking of, "therapist" is one of those broken words for me.  It's like "come" and "tight" and all sorts of juvenile, immature, innuendous ( <--this needs to be a real word) verbiage in that it reminds me of Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery saying "I'll take 'The Rapists' for $400!"  Not that I find offensive words such as "rape" slightly humorous... I find them flippin' hilarious!  I know that offends some of you out there, but quite honestly, I deal with some of life's worst moments with laughter.  For example, I made this just days after the attack of 9/11:

If you're a fan of easter egg alt text, visit XKCD.com

So as you can see, I'm already hell-bound.  My soul is beyond saving and all that jazz.  (by the way I love jazz)  So you Jehovah's Witnesses can stop your "2,010 year old wait to be put on the stand" that is you knocking on my door at 7:30am and shortly thereafter regretting it because apparently I like it warm.

Will all posts be arranged this way?
No.  This FAQ thing is for this post only....I hope.  Regardless, welcome to Word Associalization.  I look forward to making you feeling normal by comparison.
