Upside Gone

after little deliberation, but much procrastination, i've decided to remove my name from the domain name. i'll be working here soon and i don't want to have to explain to my employer or students what a 'lice-picking rice patty nigger' is and why i find distatesteful stereotypes funny, should either decide to google my name {update: i just googled my name and this blog didn't come up...but apparently i earned a religious emblem of my faith that no one ever told me about, so i'd just like to say 'thanks, this is totally unexpected...[nervously] i..i-i don't even have a speech prepared. ummmmmm god rules! [tripping as i clumsily run off stage]'}

so effective uhhh as soon as the current domain name stops working, the new web address will be:

www.upsidegone.blogspot.com

brilliant right? ...so why upside gone? well, the pull of gravity on us tends to help us distinguish what's "up" from what's "down," even if our eyes are closed. but when i came here, i wasn't sure if gravity would be working in quite the same way as it does in new york. so i'd have to rely on other indicators of "up" and "down," and if you could experience this place for yourself i think you'd agree that the upside is indeed gone. here i have to rely on a whole new set of...nah i'm shittin, it just rhymes with saigon.
