I just found these, and I don't know why they weren't posted here under
UselessNo patience. No job. No future. What happened to the me,. What happened to the garden of hearts, what happened to my metaphors. They flew away like bats out of a cave, never to to return due to changes in the earth’s poles or some shit. Science. Science. Science ( Read more... ) -
5 Seconds
5 seconds. I used to say that to a friend of mine who was having some troubles in high school. Paraphrasing, it went something like "A world of bad is worth it for 5 second of happiness." It kept her forward thinking and future oriented, and as I can usually manage to muster 5 seconds of happiness through a joke or some antics, I could pepper ( Read more... ) -
One Bad Apple
I have been thinking today about the phrase, "One bad apple spoils the whole bunch." I don't even know if this is literally true, but the phrase is still useful ( Read more... ) -
The Fortunate Man
At some point, in the distant past, something happened which created stuff. Eventually, through all kinds of weirdness, that stuff became life. Life became sentient. Sentient beings had babies with each other in the right order until they had me, you, and all the people we know. Most importantly, for this story, is that one particular sperm in ( Read more... ) -
The Jolly Roger (and later, Real News)
In more important news, Thailand may have just begun a revolution of sorts. Gunfire has broken out in Bangkok, just a day after I left it. I am safely in Chiang Mai, but I am worried. I am worried for the protesters, and I am worried for Thailand. This is a wonderful country with wonderful people, and it deserves better than violence and blood ( Read more... ) -
But, pirates...
Pirates. This one is to you: please stop stealing things. You are not sticking it to the man. You do not have a good excuse this one time. You probably would have bought it otherwise. When you steal things, you make life more difficult for me. You also are failing to support the things which you like to consume, meaning you are left out of ( Read more... ) -
A Haircut
I had my going away party tonight. Most of my extended Thai family were in attendance, along with a few friends from my old workplace (I can't believe I have been here long enough to have an "old workplace"). It was a lot of fun, and the people were good. A going away party usually consists of the following: drinking, a string ceremony, dinner, ( Read more... ) -
Terry Gilliam is awesome.
It is hot here. And when I say hot, I mean at a low of 95 degrees at just past midnight. And it doesn't let up. There is a brief period between 4am and 6am where it is possibly a heat level that may be considered "bearable," and that only if you've just showered ( Read more... ) -
The Virtuous Man
I have noticed a disturbing trend as of late. It is the trend towards the anti-hero. Long gone are the days of the righteous knight (good) who slays the dragon (evil) to save the princess (virtue). Rather do we have the bandit (badass) who slays the villain (misunderstood) and saves his girlfriend (hott and maybe still virtue). And this says ( Read more... ) -
A Rectangle just ain't a Square.
We are all bent out of shape. I used to be all Right, but now I feel like I'm trapezoid in this circle of life. Inscribed, if you will, with all my corners touching the edge of some elliptical orbit that is torn between two points, or that can't seem to walk a straight line and seems ready to fall off this edge into quadrilateral after ( Read more... )
