Today, I would like to introduce you, regular readers of this blog (all 25 of you, at last count), to my alter ego, Unfinished Rambler. He had been here on WordPress.com on a separate blog and then moved to Blogger on his own blog, and now he’s back here, on my blog where I reluctantly have agreed to his interrupting my posts with his own ramblings.
Likewise, for those of you who are regular readers of Unfinished Rambler (all 235 of you, at last count) joining us here for the first time at an unfinished person (in an unfinished universe), I point you to the tabs at the top of the page and also found here: Body, Mind, Soul and Inspirations that will give you an introduction to the journey of this unfinished person so far, without the interference interruption from my alter ego.
Unfinished Rambler already has interjected himself among the tabs at the top of the page with his own page, but I thought I’d interview this rapscallion myself to give you another introduction to the man, the myth, the legend: Unfinished Rambler.
Unfinished Person: So when were you born?
Unfinished Rambler: I was born at the same time as you, silly, and I’ve been lurking here for ages.
Unfinished Person: No, I mean, when was your first ejaculation on your blog?
Unfinished Rambler: Um, that is sort of a personal question, isn’t it?
Unfinished Person (unruffling his feathers): I should say, “When was your first post?”
Unfinished Rambler: Oh, my first post…well, that was on April 21, 2008, and it was a work of art as is evidenced here:
So the last time I left you, I was talking about signs, remember? Just how silly signs can be. On Sunday, as my wife and I were driving back from a friend’s 40th birthday party, I suddenly saw a sign that struck me odd for some reason: “Burlington Township Building Permits Required.” I even commented to my wife on it: “How many people suddenly decide as they’re driving by, ‘Hey, you know what, I wanted to build a shed right here on the side of the road, but now I can’t?’” Or in other words, as I’m driving by, why do I care about building permits being required in this particular municipality? Just something to think about…
Unfinished Person: Um, yes, I see, and when was your last ejaculation post?
Unfinished Rambler: Whew. I’m glad you caught yourself there, Big Boy. My last…er…post was last month, Feb. 25, and was entitled “This blog don’t have shit on Ramblers“.
Unfinished Person: Whoa there, buddy. I don’t use that kind of language here as I attempt, and usually succeed, in being erudite…
Unfinished Rambler: …and it sounds like you attempt and succeed at being a pompous ass too.
Unfinished Person: Hey, hey, no need to get personal.
Unfinished Rambler: Well, you started it, asking about my first ejaculation…
Unfinished Person (rolling eyes): So anyway, as I was saying I try to be erudite here. Have you ever written on scholarly pursuits?
Unfinished Rambler: Well, like you, I work at a library and I have written on that here (with more links to previous posts found within that post).
Unfinished Person: Ah, so you are a scholar after all.
Unfinished Rambler: Well, I have been known to venture into discussions ramblings on politics, religion and music.
Unfinished Person: Well, then I guess you’ll be all right.
Unfinished Rambler: Yep, I’m alright, nobody worry about me…
Unfinished Person (interior monologue): Well, that went better than I thought…at least, it didn’t turn into this or, God forbid, this:
Unfinished Rambler (interior monologue): He has no fucking idea of the whirlwind he is about to reap by letting me on his blog.

You’ve blown my mind interviewing yourself. But I think multiple personalities can be a good thing; some people don’t even have one.
Very, very true. Words of wisdom from my New York friend.
I don’t think it’s true at all. I think it’s twisted to have two personalities. What the hey! That’s weird.
Um, you, ah, strike me as a tad schizophrenic but I’m of two minds about that.
I completely understand.
As do I.
And as evidenced by the above typo… I should have waited until Tuesday to type my comment too.
Bottom line, as my wife will point out when she comments, I will be able to get back to the blogging and quit talking about blogging, blah, blah, blah.
I should have waiting until Tuesday to read this post because with it being Monday and all, I really had to focus to keep it all straight. Rambler, person, rambler…. uh… person.
The main thing as Leeuna said, in a manner of speak, is that now you don’t have to chase me all around the Interwebs. I’m in one place…well, except for those other two “supplementary” blogs…..;) But someday, I will be one…well, sort of.
Got it?
Well, I must say it’s good to have you both in the same place. No more chasing around all over the interweave just to read your posts and say “hi”. So “hi” youse two. Good job.
Just realized while I mentioned you in a comment that I didn’t actually respond to you — oops. Well, here’s my response: I’m glad I can accommodate your reading habits.
Wait ! What the fcuk ? I thought both of you would morph into one !
This is already going to be nuts !
Personally, I don’t think I wanted him to be a part of me, because I mean just look at the kind of language he uses sometimes.
So now do we have to address both of you Unfinished Dudes differently?
Because this is going to get kinda… complex.
And weird.
And, well… if I get an email from your wife saying you’ve been petting your computer mouse and calling it “My Precious” we WILL have to do something about all this.
Yes, you will have to address us differently.
Um, no, you won’t…;-)
Actually in all seriousness, Jenn, my posts as Unfinished Rambler will end with “his” signature. The rest will be by Unfinished Person.
And yes, it is weird and complex, but I think the point, to some degree, if there is a point to all this, is that we all are weird and complex. We all have split personalities…or to quote Seal, “We’re never gonna survive unless we are a little crazy…” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fc67yQsPqQ
As for the mouse thing…once I get the wireless mouse that we bought to work, I might call it “My Precious” but until then, that’s not going to happen.
Lot of language…Bad language. Not impressed with that UR.
You might should go back to your own blog.
As Gollum said, “F— you!”
