What's with the advertisement suddenly?

Believe it or not, I'm not getting any money from boutell.com. They did me a big favor recently and I thought it was only fair to return the favor with a link to their product (which, btw, I use). That's all. Don't worry: there will never be any big flashy adverts on every page...that would just suck.

What's this all about anyways? I don't want to read all those old entries!

This is my journal of my life. In it, you'll find details of my monthly visits by the supernatural, my less-than-stellar job, and my lovelife. And that's about it.

Are you for real? Really really real?

I always laugh when someone asks me this, because there's no answer I can give that will be accepted. If I say "Yes, I'm really really real", you're not going to believe me beause you had doubts in the first place. If I were to say "No, it's all fake!" you'd feel disappointed.

So, here's my ambiguous answer: I think I'm real. Linda, James and Jack all really exist, but maybe not by those names. Everything is how I, Harry Culney see it.

I will say one thing is definitely fake: my last name isn't really "Culney". I changed it for anonymity's sake, plus (egotistically) so it would be easier to search for references to me in web search engines. If your last name is Smith, Jones, White, Black, or something else very common, it's hopeless to try to find yourself in infoseek et al.

How do you know those "ghosts" you see are real? You might be seeing things! You might be crazy!

I think they're real. As I've said before, though, I don't pretend to understand what they are or why they are. I'm 100% sure there's a rational scientific explanation for everything, with the caveat that we might not know the science behind it yet.

Why don't you convert to [religion] since that will make it all better?

I get asked that fairly frequently. It's always a different religion that's the true one. I'm not all that sure converting and reconverting and rereconverting would help, do you?

Why don't you quit your job?

Inertia

Where's Jack? You stopped writing about him!

I know. Frankly, he slips my mind. He doesn't actually talk, after all; all he does is "play" and do his own thing. It's not actually worth writing about all that much, so I don't.

Where are you in Real Life?

I live in a mid-atlantic state. And that's as detailed as I'm getting. Sorry.
