So many people have been attracted to the web, like planets to an immense black hole, that I too decided that a journal account would be the best way forward. However, I am not joining to share my angst, or to make friends with people I will never meet or car about, instead I am here for more neferious reasons.
A learned man once said that a person is only separated from everyone else in the world by six people.
In other words, if you stood in a large enough room, and invited all your aquaintances to join you,
and they invited all their aquaintances,
and they invited all their aquaintances,
and they invited all their aquaintances,
and they invited all their aquaintances,
and they invited all their aquaintances,
then EVERYONE in the entire world would be in the room, which would be about the size of the Isle of Wight - although it would need to be slightly larger if you wanted to get to the bar.
Now although this concept isn't exactly true for the online community (not everyone in the world has net access, such as some native african tribes and the cornish) it is true that all rich people have. And by the same reasoning, those rich people are only 6 steps away from me, and my greedy little thieving mitts, maybe even less, possibly only 3 or 4 connections away.
So, by joining this community, I open untold routes to major fraud, theft and backmail, which in turn result in cash for me.
If I wasn't so damn cunning, I'd laugh evilly. (I won't as I know live journal has an evil laugh filter that they pass onto the government)
I'm currently being distracted by the fantastic Max Payne II. Blood, Gore and a bewildering plot, balanced carefully with guns and explosions that make the original look like a walk in the park with an incontinent dog called Hooch.
Add to that my great desire to kill tourists in space colony (a totally unrelated game, but it also incudes violence, and as such is entertaining.)
I would love to take the blame for the rise in violence in the entertainments market, thus allowing everyday crime to be viewed as more acceptable, but this does not serve my long term aims. More crime puts my meager efforts of villanary in the shadow, while the inexperienced idiots who get caught cheapen my particular profession, which just looks shoddy.
Speaking of shoddy, there's a new version of windows coming out soon, "Longhorn" this will obviously be a programmers nightmare, filled with holes thus pushing virus production and infection well into the next century. Mr Bill himself will probably gain enough money from it to buy the free world, and then make more money by renting said free world to the unfree world, where-ever that may be. Of course, it'll be your fault if the software crashes or doesn't work.
So, for the forseeable future, my plan is to somehow discredit Mr Bill, possibly by selling him weapons of mass destruction and getting Bush and Blair to unite the world finally against him.
Now all I need are WoMD, fortune would have it that most countries (evidently apart from Iraq, ironically) have the nasty things, and America is even willing to sell them to people for enough cash.
See? Its all about money.
