A collection of old blog posts that turned into classic bizarre tales
Back in the early days of the Internet, I used to keep kind of an online diary. At least that's what it was known as at the time. As the practice became mainstream, it became known as a "blog," even if nobody really read it. So I kept a blog for my friends, and I'd relate the odd little stories that seem to pepper my life. However, once in a while, a story would explode into a bizarre tale that was stranger than fiction. This section is a collection of those stories.
A lot of the stories have probably been lost ti to and poor backups, but the rest are still scattered around in strange places. Some of them I've already salvaged and collected here. I'll add more as I gather them together.
The nature of the Internet has trained us to have a very short attention span. These stories, honestly, are probably no longer appropriate for the Internet, where the social media companies keep you engaged with 140-character tweets, and 10-second video clips. These stories are longer, and in some cases, you can see the breaks in the stories as I went to bed for the night and picked the story up again the next day. The collected stories were intended to be a humorous look at the stuff that went on in my life, but sometimes... well, sometimes they were more serious.
At any rate, here they are, collected together once again. I'll add to this collection as I dig up more material.
