Fantastic… now shit from outerspace

Fantastic… now shit from outerspace is slicing through the earth at incredible speeds… swell.

And… if that wasn’t enough… this shit levitates… and NASA is working on time travel, otherwise know as merely “superluminal quantum tunneling” to the rest of us, or perhaps it was the “transient inertia effect” or “quantum vacuum energies.” I always get those confused, don’t you?

Wouldn’t it be nice

That is all.

Lauren gave me a really

Lauren gave me a really nice compliment yesterday that I failed to mention. She said I was very much like a Beatnik. I took that as an extremely nice compliment and have been thinking about it for a little while. I don’t nessisarily see myself as an actual Beatnik, there are very few who can (or should) but I certainly embrace the 60’s counter-culture ideas. I dislike mainstream media, people influenced by or in the mainstream media, shallowness, authoritarian governmental figures, rules limiting my freedoms, that sort of thing. I agree far more with the ideals than I do with the sterotypes. I don’t wear all black, call people squares or drink to much caffine… well, at least the first two. I do have a passion for good music, expressive art, poetry, writting and pretty much anything else creative. I wish I could say I have more qualities that lend themselves to being Beat, but I don’t. So, I guess I’m only a little bit of a Beatnik, not in the traditional sense of course, but more in the passive mentalities. I’m an artist, and I think that artists lend themselves to that side of the social spectrum. We certainly love creativity and freedom and we express it in everything we do, otherwise there wouldn’t be any point to being an artist. I don’t know where any of this is coming from, but I figured I’d get it out of my system. Everyone needs a little self-analysis every once in a while.

I’d like to call everyone’s

I’d like to call everyone’s attention to a few pictures that are somehow still floating around the web. These will help illustrate how damn cool we all were in highschool. I point you towards pictures for the highschool trip week took to the IT Expo in NYC. I would like you to pay perticular attention to there:

Picture of Chip, Jeff and myself (notice how “bad ass” I’m looking. Note the Ray Ban’s, Brooklyn Dodger hat, flashy jacket and ever present “early 90’s” plaid shirt)

Capt BadAss (myself) and Chip (looking like he just ate a lemon). See. Bad Ass… I’m not telling lies here folks.

As always… this has been your daily dose of heavy sarcasm. I was the furthest thing from “bad ass”, but I felt like taking a trip down memory lane. Enjoy.

FUCK MICROSOFT. FUCK THEM IN

FUCK MICROSOFT. FUCK THEM IN THEIR STUPID ASSES.

Look at the crap I got today when I tried to register my LEGAL copy of Office 2000.

WHAT THE FUCK?!? HAVE YOU PEOPLE NEVER HEARD OF OWNING A NEW COMPUTER???

What a bunch of assholes. To never consider that someone might actually purchase a new computer within the life of one of their products is simply moronic. Of course I’ve installed it on one or more computers… that doesn’t mean that I didn’t UNINSTALL it from the other ones. Fuck you Microsoft. Thanks for a shit load of nothing you pretencious assholes.

Well. I did just try

Well. I did just try and write this from my old system, but no dice. Apparently the IP address stuck to the new machine. Oh well. So, now I’m installing Office on this one so I can write my paper. I did have a long description of the events of yesterday, but for the sake of time you’ll simply have to deal with “it went well.” Printing that is. So, that project is done. Now on to a new one. Ah the joys of college.
