Unimportant Reasonings

The URL of mine is a reference, of sorts, to iota - spelled with my preference to "ae." It assumes reading it won't make an iota of a difference in how you think, because my text is simply not thought-provoking or remarkable—which may or may not be true.

The title is a reference to the Valley of Hinnom, which is a gorge inside of Jerusalem where the carcasses of murderers and thieves were burned. The Bible describes it as a place where some of the bodies of said criminals, who got caught within places like the crevices or hung on limbs (and not burned in the fires below), were consumed with worms that don't die (from said fire).

It's a metaphor describing a place where my own thoughts can either fester, or perish, from my own jurisdiction - but rather than a valley or ravine, it is more like a relatively shallow apperture, because I tend not to think about things enough to such an extent that I'd want to post them. "Where logic becomes dissected and misconstrued" is simply another self-defeating assumption.

Finally, the defecating stormtrooper: it demonstrates a single entity - myself - which is most often looked upon as a collective, in a particularly brooding state. It speaks multitudes about the nature of this blog, and even myself in general. Stormtroopers are most often portrayed in massive groups; this is entirely symbolic of my past tendencies of plagiarizing mannerisms about other peoples' personalities to garner a general appeal. The act itself portrayed is indicative of a brooding, contemplative nature as he gazes at a magazine—and just as he's taking apart the meanings and nuances of the pages of the magazine, so too did I with my own personality.
