hack the planet etc etc
i feel like i am repeating myself
to say
that hackers
is the greatest movie of all time
or
perhaps
to say
it is just my personal favorite
of all time
(runners up: big trouble in little china, chasing amy, escape from la, escape from new york (solely to give context to escape from la and also because it has the greatest theme of all time), event horizon, the fifth element... and a half dozen more depending on mood)
but
it's hackers
the movie that completely and utterly depicts how it feels when you are in flow
when hacking code is the only thing that matters
because
really
what else matters
when you are a software developer?
it is my job
and now that i am back doing it
i am "happy"
happy to be earning money
happy to be tackling difficult problems
happy to be working for a company that provide services
to people
suffering under shitty authoritarian regimes
like russia
and iran
but not china
because their shitty authoritarian regime
has controlled the internet like no other
anywho
i like techno music
back when it all used to be called
techno
music
i was listening to this old song
Orbital - Halcyon On And On
the song is about this great techno band
and their mother
who was an addict
and people who don't give a shit about techno don't understand
how a song
with no words
can say more
than any song
with singing
but this is not a post about fuck guitars
this is a post about fucking techno
and how it makes me feel
halcyon+on+on is in the opening scene of hackers
(the greatest movie of all time)
and through most of my highschool years
it was also my alarm
(that i programmed on my stereo)
because
it is a very good song to wake up to
(slow build)
(big drop)
(etc)
but the other point
of this post
is to say hello
to my friends
hello!
i have visited the doctor
she said i had scabies
and gave me ivermectin
twice
therefore i will never get covid
twice
because trump said so
but seriously
fuck scabies
i itch
and then i itch some more
and more
and then i take the drugs
and itch
and apply the cream
and
still
i fucking itch
they say it could take weeks to resolve
it is
at least
better than it was before
that reminds me of an oingo boingo song
which i will not share
becase an ex related it to my trans identity
and
personally
i don't find that it spoke to me
even though
i like oingo boingo
i am so durnk
the wonderful thing
of being in a civilized country
is that
convenience stores
sell liquor
24 hours
fuck last call
and dry counties
bro
america sucks
anyway
when it is friday
(thank god it's friday)
we working stiffs
need a beer
at any hour
oh
hello
it's almost 2am
thank god for 7-11
by the way
there was an earthquake
it rocked the fucking house
no joke
it was rather scary
but
i
am
alive
clearly
also
there were several typhoons
still
we persist
chinese missiles
pff
(fuck china etc)
also
today i finally discovered
a place
that do real 燒烤 bbq
ironically
it had posters up in simplified chinese
mao jokes ++
mainland china stylee
but even
it is a communist party black op
i care not
their plan:
i feed you meat on stick
you vote for party who serve taiwan on stick
but i skilfully evade
haha!
i eat mushroom on stick
bitch!
also
techno
etc
here is some synthwave
without a youtube
because
i suppose
underground?
