Back Here Once Again?!
I’m getting really tired of looking up reviews for PC games and getting hammered to hell by console-fanboys screaming their heads off, “the horror!”- all because some people prefer a computer for dual-release titles. The age-old ‘PC versus Console’ debate died years ago, apparently fourteen year olds never got the memo, or don’t know what a memo is. Maybe...
Aquatic Adventure
I’ve decided that for motivation I should give myself more tangible goals. The first is a decent camera (but not too extravagant, this neighborhood isn’t a good one), like a Nikon Coolpix L100 you know, between the two and three hundred dollar range. I’ve had this killer urge to get into photography lately and it just won’t subside.
Next is a visit to a real aquarium since...
Such a Geek
I was trying to arrange myself on the couch with my wireless keyboard in my lap, settling down under a blanket to watch some CSI- it’s wicked cold in the house at the moment after all. As I’m moving the keyboard, the edge of my VOIP button snags on a pillow frill and tears a little piece off, still stuck there. The first thing that pops into my head when I see this?
EVIDENCE, BAG IT!

Oh Celes, how I miss thee.
Sometimes you just...
Crime Scene Investigation
I’ve been reading a lot of negative feedback to the television show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and I’m finding it pretty ridiculous honestly. While there’s an obvious gap between how the show portrays the process of catching criminals and the REALITY of catching criminals (CSI don’t question people or solve cases, they only collect and process evidence in as objective a...
Into the Indigo
I’m really quite fascinated with the ‘Indigo Children’ belief, as ridiculous as it might seem. To put it simply, some parents believe their children to be of a special new evolution of humanity, possessing an empathic new way of looking at the world that’s completely different from the norm. There are dozens of attributes that I believe are mistakenly associated with this...
I need HALP.

Lol Okay so… I’m just gonna assume that starting a letter to someone you havent talked to in like 7 years who is incarcerated with Whats up isnt a good idea. Recommendations on how I should start off this letter?
Send a ‘Get Well Soon’ card IMO, scratch out ‘Well’ and write ‘Out’ under it.
Meh
I broke down and bought a pack of cigs… Not that I’m trying to make excuses (I haven’t even smoked any of them yet), but to be fair I only did it so that I can fill out job apps all night without that jittery compulsive “avoidance rut” I usually end up in (chewing away my finger nail stubs and watching some television show or playing some random game all night even in...

Here I am, chillin, halfway through drinkin a 40 of king cobra while watching anime, occasionally jumping on Call of Duty 4 MW2 for an online free-for-all match. This is happiness IMO ^_^
Um, it’s 11 am?
Bought it last night, but I don’t drink cold beer and ended up passing out at like 11PM. Woke up at 8 and it was warm so, bonzai! I don’t really see the...

The Wiki Conundrum
Wikipedia is a vast database of information, one ‘overseen’ by a couple dozen anonymous individuals of questionable mental acuity and knowledge (who knows who they are or what they know? Wiki certainly won’t tell us). There are, however, very few overseers and many many thousands of pages, and so the system is thus maintained not be these people, but by the multitude of readers...
Ahh, How Wonderful
For years I’ve wondered where the jokes were running off and hiding for a subject SO damned amusing all on its own- now it seems someone finally decided to grab them by the ankles and drag the jokes into the light. Check out the anonymous contest for “Scientology Sucks” here.
Truly, Happy Holidays ^_^
Happiness Equation
The Happiness Equation
[20oz. boiled water] + [4 tsp. Columbian-roast coffee (crystals)] + [7 tsp. sugar] + [4 tsp. Hershey Double-Chocolate Sundae Syrup] == [HAPPINESS_IN_A_GLASS]
My Mind's Inclusions
I’m actually amazed that there’s still information I can’t seem to find on the internet, even in this day and age! Today I was suddenly interested in seeing gem inclusions (imperfections like other minerals, tiny internal flaws, clouding) and also laser lines, feathering cracks, etc in/on gemstones. I managed to find quite a few images and a ton of bare encyclopedia-style info,...
Readings
I’m getting really tired of people assuming they possess the ability to infer, failing, and then getting mad when others point it out.
(In the Dairy Queen Drive-Thru lane)
Me: “$16 for a $4.99 four-piece boneless chicken meal, two onion rings, and a shake? WTF?!”
Father: “$4.99 hell, your meal was like $7 or $8, I saw it up on the screen.”
Me: “That’s...
