What the hell was I thinking?

The idea for this — the name "Slightly Altered Reality" — occurred to me while not experiencing altered reality.

At least, not very altered.  A few puffs of a certain herb might be involved.

This may be brilliant.  Your mileage may vary.  The problem is that these brilliant ideas never seem so bright on calm, sober reflection.  What makes me laugh now might not be funny or entertaining later.  I could be the Carrot Top of the Internet.  (Now there is a repulsive thought.)

I even worked out that, should I be too lazy or otherwise disinclined to go all the way into my office to use the computer, I can blog right from my phone if I want to, or my iPad if I feel like sparing my eyesight.  Perfect for the baked blogger with more technology than sense!

Meanwhile, I've become so preoccupied with organizing this entry that any previous brilliance seems to have left the premises.  A possibly-brilliant title as basis for a blog, with no thought to content, does come across as utterly ridiculous.  I'd claim this was unusual, except I once wrote an entire book (The Redneck White Wedding Blues) based solely on the title, with no help from anything more mood altering than a bacon sandwich and a Dr Pepper.  (Side note:  It was a damned good rough draft in the end, so the idea may occasionally have merit.)

Meanwhile, some random thoughts, since the anal-compulsive me insists that things must be organized in some vague manner:


  1. There is only one letter's difference between "baked" and "naked," but they don't rhyme.  
  2. For the record, I'm fully clothed.
  3. The cat loves hanging out with me when I've smoked.  (Or vaped, rather; smoking makes me cough.)
  4. I hope I remember this the next time I'm experiencing a slightly altered reality.  (See what I did there?)
