The portcullis of the citrus fortress is finally lifting! Ported content over from blogger, and obviously there’ll be more to come soon.

This is very much a work in progress. I’m even still working on my animated GIF of the jackhammer man.

So I’ve known for years that there’s another Tony Zito out there, a semi-savory real estate agent from Baton Rouge — he even beat me to the domain name. But this takes the cake — this Tony Zito, CEO of Mediaforge, is in my own industry, and is clearly being interviewed far more oftenthan I. I wonder if the era of Google will inspire more people to name their children with unique identifiers, or opt for digital camouflage.

I’ve been having a lot of thoughts lately, some of which would require at least 150 or 160 characters to fully explore, so I figured it was as good a time as any. I’m considering a switch away from blogger.com, though…we’ll see.

Which is to say — don’t just make the first association, from, say, apples to oranges. Rather, one should make the second order associative leap from apples to, say, promiscuity, via Johnny Appleseed.(Johnny Appleseed, a noted lothario, has led many to make the leap to promiscuity…but that is outside the scope of my treatise.)

Today it seems to me that much of life consists of being at A, and imagining C, and yet being at a loss for how to get there. C makes so much sense. It seems inevitable and true. Yet B seems so impossible, so fraught, so disruptive that we become stuck. How do we get there from here, when so much seems to be determined and established? It takes remarkable creativity and courage, more than most are capable of. Our mothers will be upset. Our friends will shake their heads. Our people will be hurt. And no one likes to hurt people, confound friends, or upset mothers. But sometimes you just gotta fuck Johnny Appleseed.

Vinyl makes everything better. But WTF is “shift that log” supposed to mean? Sounds gross.
