Randomly thinking about getting fish. I like fish.

I guess it’s not all bad news coming from Iraq. It seems that the violence is down and things are becoming more and more stable.
Going to Iraq was not a good decision but we’ve now got shit a load of lemons and need to make some lemonade. If Iraq succeeds in the long run, it [...]

All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.

Some cunt proclaimed “Happy Memorial Day” on the radio this morning. There’s nothing happy about this day. It’s supposed to commemorate the U.S. men and women who perished while in military service.
I feel sad for those that lost their lives because they were more than likely duped into joining. Fooled to believe in patriotism and [...]

Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.
- Henry Ford

Here’s a story more terrifying than this summer’s hottest thriller. A group of citizens on Memphis are now on the lookout for people taking “suspicious” photos and are ready to send that data to the FBI. This is exactly how so many innocent people end up on no-fly lists.
I put the word suspicious in quotes [...]

I hate you. I hate your incessant bitching and complaining. Sometimes my hate is so immense that I want you dead. Not just dead but killed as slowly and painfully as possible. It’s what you sometimes deserve.
You’re divisive and argumentative. You treat people, myself especially, poorly. You’re a liar, a thief, and an all around [...]

Reading a paper title “Self-Knowledge, Self-Esteem and the Gifted Adult” by Stephanie S. Tolan and came across the following excerpt which I thought was dead on.
As one moves downward from the range of “normal” intelligence, the number of mental abilities individuals exhibit is increasingly restricted — and so the range of activities and behaviors of [...]

I’m beginning to deteriorate again, becoming more and more argumentative with the people around me. Drinking doesn’t help but I still try. The books have piled up as I can no longer focus enough to get through them.
My wrist aches from punching someone in the face in front of a Starbucks. I’m worried I will [...]

Arguably, the last big thing to hit the internet was Web 2.0 which is basically websites with user generated content. Sites like digg.com, gamevee.com, youtube.com, etc are perfect examples. Their whole sites are driven by the users who create content for no money.
The biggest thing on TV in recent years has been reality [...]

The current body count in Burma is being reported as 28,000+ with 33,000+ missing. Some are claiming that with disease and lack of nutrition factored in, the count could but up to 1 million dead from this thing. While that may sound bad on the surface, it’s not really a big deal.
There are [...]

When I find myself in religious debates with claimed theologians, it’s scary how often they have little knowledge about the religious text (Bible, Qur’an, Tora, whatever) where most of their rules and regulations are derived.
With the type of shit that goes on in books like the Bible, I’m astounded that anyone buys into this crap [...]

It looks like the Baghdad museum is making a comeback. If the threat of getting killed weren’t so high, I’d actually like to visit. Here’s an excerpt from Time.

In the shadowy halls of the Iraqi National Museum, the remnants of Babylon seem largely forgotten. The carved stone forms of 2,000-year-old rulers are scattered [...]

I think I grew up too quickly. I feel smothered with everything around me and I really just want to be childish. I have bills, a career, and have to sit in an office for 8-10 hours a day.
My early 20’s were spent training for and fighting in a war and now when [...]

There’s a ton of porn all over the place. Where do these girls come from?

It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.

It looks like McCain feels that Iraq was about oil. I happen to believe it’s part of the reason but not the sole reason. I’m [...]

I’m laying in my hammock reading some articles I’ve been ear marking for weeks now. I keep noticing the sound of whirring air conditioners in the background (must be a half dozen in ear shot). What’s scary is that I’m a bit chilly just being outside although I typically have a high tolerance [...]
