I signed up for a Facebook account out of more than a little curiosity. Unlike the MySpace, this place is apparently where everyone on the planet congregates without any restraint. Facebook is, apparently, a giant planet-wide chatroom and BBS rolled into one. A secondary effect of this is that I've been in contact with a good stack of people I had ( Read more... )

I'm going to geek the fuck out for a moment ( Read more... )

I'm aware that war is bad, and I really don't like it myself. However, I'm pretty sure that the most useless thing you can possibly do right now is point to the civilian casualties and start attempting to rub everyone's nose in the "reality" of things. Arguments that consist of "If you're not screaming bloody murder against this war, you're ( Read more... )

Alright, so - still sick! I wouldn't be to worried about it, but young Duke Von Loomenstein has mentioned that he's come down with the wonderful Mononucleosis. Kim's been sick for better than a week, and now here I am! If I get really badly sick, I've never been really down for more than a day or so. This shit will NOT quit, though. I've tried ( Read more... )

Christ on a cracker I don't feel like doing anything right now. I'm fat and happy, been drinking for the past two ... or three... days, and managed to keep up some on my Crab assignment. Why do my vacations always end up running about as calmly as a goddamned Die Hard Christmas? It's too early to feel tired but I sho'nuff wanna go sit on my ass in ( Read more... )

Jeremy's wife left him the other day, which was pretty uncool. Turns out the little beyotch started saying "I don't know if I was ready to be married" etc, etc and she needs "Her own space," and then a day later, she's planning on living with some other guy. Christ, woman, if you wanna dump the man, drop him on his ass and move on. I can't stand ( Read more... )

You know what pisses me off? Stupid gay people. Gay people who will work themselves to death trying to eliminate gay stereotypes and work for equality and all that bullshit, then do stupid shit. The stupid shit I mean is going around and trying to promote other stereotypes - treating straight people in the exact way they hate straight people ( Read more... )

Been reading back over the Book of Five Rings (Book of Five Spheres for the literalist, and Go Rin no Sho for the uber-otaku) again. I remember when I first read the book, I didn't quite get the whole thing (mostly because I read half of it), but I was a little amused on how much the philosophies that Musashi wrote about seemed to parallel alot of ( Read more... )

So, I freaked out Sunday night. Not so much of a good thing, I guess. It was all about how I've been handling my life pretty poorly and the trouble it's been causing me. See, right about now my daily schedule goes about - Wake up, lay in bed for an hour, wander to work, work, come home, sit on computer and write, spend time with Kim, go to sleep. ( Read more... )

.. and realize it is what I have made for myself. That thought makes me content.

Thought I'd share.

Anjin-san off.
