last night i went to bed a little early and a little down about the reality of facing the "process" of continuing on. so i decided to listen the last known castrati to have lived and to have recorded his music: Alessandro Moreschi (1858--1922). i have recently become fascinated with castrati singers and their music. as i expected, the music was undeniably haunting. i have yet to discover how or what i feel about it. Moreschi was the only castrato ever to make solo recordings! and, as i am new to the genre, i can't tell you if it was as good as it should be, as up to par with the renowned castrati performances of the Baroque era, or anything technical yet. But it definitely did something to me. and lying there i couldn't help thinking: "this poor soul had his genitals cut off to make the most beautiful music..." and so on and the like. what's more, he was not castrated until somewhere around 1865! those fucking Italians, man. so passionate about the important things in life---food, music, romance, art, nature.... they really fucking go for it.... i highly suggest downloading one of his songs (God forbid we should by albums anymore).

You have come upon The Great Randovski's blog posting, a platform created to inspire the most elevated as well as the most ridiculous and the most insane thoughts ever to be conceived of by man. Feel free to post anything you want, or go away. Either is fine by me. I think posting blogs is stupid. But i don't like television (except for "Wife Swap") and i shall not deny myself exploration into an unfamiliar realm, if only to realize that i am correct in assuming how trite the concept of "blogging" really is ---and i am gaining faith by the moment. Nevertheless, let me say now that if ever you are offended by anything i write i am NOT sorry because you, like blogging, are stupid too. I am one man absent of power and with little intent to harm and my little blogs would only put a selfish prick/bitch in a tiff. So fuck you. Now, dont get me wrong... you can get heated and tell me to fuck off on any subject; fine, we'll have at it. And who knows: you may be right, and i may be wrong. Or vice versa. Maybe there is no right or wrong? But dont be offended---it's a sign of weakness. Also, i am not "great", despite the moniker, but thought it was at the very least ridiculous enough to elicit some response from someone out there in cyberland. Please post anything you want. This is a platform for any subject, be it poodles or porn. The purpose of my blog is to exchange ideas and and see what happens from there. I may abandon this thing all together in two days. I may go crazy doing this thing for the next 40 years. Who the fuck knows? But I'm bored, at night especially. You can only hike, surf, play music, drink, masterbate, fuck your woman, fight the neighbor, carry steel and pay bill for so long! And believe me, i do NOT think blogging is the new answer. But i'd like to hear some really crazy and/or profound things from someone. About anything. AND NO LYING! Unless you're otherwise dull. So, who's got something to say?
