As a kid I had two best friends; Anthony down the street and my imagination. Only the latter has stuck with me.
For years I had a fire extinguisher that played many roles. Sometimes it would become a bomb that needed disarming and other times it would be a torpedo. Once I created a harness from [...]

Why can’t we toss out college degrees? Aren’t they meaningless pieces of paper that only state that you attended an institution for 4 years and didn’t fail out?
Why should it not be possible for someone to study law, take their state bar examination, and become a lawyer? Couldn’t they become very skillful lawyers? The same [...]

Congress is looking into regulating oil speculation which is the cause for the sudden increase in price per barrel. I’ve read that experts believe oil shouldn’t be more than $60 U.S. even though it’s close to $140 right now. This is because demand in the U.S. is actually down probably because of the poor economy [...]

People who suggest that global warming isn’t true or isn’t caused by pollution are complete dolts. They may in fact be correct but are still wrong. Here’s why.
Pollution is bad. Even if it didn’t raise the global temperature by a fraction of a degree, it’s still bad. Hell, even if it had no negative ecological [...]

I was reading the monthly Crypto-Gram newsletter from Bruce Schneier and found this sentence to be hilarious. Here it is in context
I already blogged this once: an airplane-seat camera system that tries to detect terrorists before they leap up and do whatever they were planning on doing. Amazingly enough, the EU is “testing” this [...]

I found this Time article about other people getting rid of all their excess stuff just like I am. My place looks weird now that I have 1500 square feet of next to nothing but it’s really easier to not have to worry about your things all the time.
If you have a nice couch, you [...]

Looks time Time Warner is really going ahead with this bandwidth cap thing. It’s only in Beaumont, Texas but I’m in Austin, Texas and worried about it getting adopted here.
I actually don’t use a ton of bandwidth and it’s possible I’ll even slide in under the 40G/month cap but why would I want to pay [...]

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 stuck in a perpetual feeling of malaise and melancholy punctuated by sitcom punchlines and witty quotes I find in books. Books with nihilist and pragmatist views consume most of my time. I’m sucking down 4 books a week and getting little sleep. I’m still throwing up on a daily basis and [...]

According to Mark Cuban, the internet is dead and it’s only for old people. He thinks that multiple intranets provided by cable companies will take its place.
He’s right in that it would be a great breeding ground for high bandwidth applications like video and games but it loses the whole point of the internet. [...]

Fancy cars and expensive clothes aren’t a sign of wealth. They’re merely a sign of spent money. (Or, more often, borrowed money.)

Most people have seen worse things in private than they pretend to be shocked at in public.

Why is Fox paying people to write about pop stars? What’s their issue with Madonna? I’m no Madonna fan but I don’t give a shit if she takes some African kid. Fuck, take my ass in. I wouldn’t mind going to the best schools, having the nicest house on the block, [...]

About 40% of credit card holders carry a balance of less than $1,000. About 15% are far less conservative in their use of credit cards and have total card balances in excess of $10,000. When we look at the total of all credit obligations combined (except mortgage loans), 48% of consumers carry less than $5,000 [...]

Why tiptoe through life, only to arrive safely at death?
It’s better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb instead of half way up one you don’t.
Any idiot can know understanding is the key.
Paraphrasing GB Shaw, the only time my education was interrupted was when I was in school.
Small minds discuss [...]

/* Here is a song from Eminem. Those of you who don’t listen to his music or those that do and don’t pay attention to his lyrics should really take a look at some of his songs. I cut out some parts to the song “Who Knew” please have a look. We try to censor [...]

Why is this fucking country so god damn prude? Why do people concern themselves with sex and profanity on television? Who gives a fuck? When I was in elementary school I heard more profanity from other students and my parents then I did television and we had cable with HBO.
Stop trying [...]

After a few weeks of living like a hobo I finally moved into my own place this past Monday. I am really happy with the place although I think I may have jumped the gun a bit. I should have waited until I received my first paycheck because it costed so much to [...]

I finally found myself a job! Well I guess I shouldn’t use the word finally since I was only really unemployed for three and a half days. My new job starts this week and I am a Linux Support Technician at one of the largest web hosting companies. I won’t mention the [...]

I hate the way women order, so fucking slow! They have to be so fucking picky about everything. I waited 15 minutes for this bitch to order a cup of coffee. She added vanilla, marshmallows, and all sorts of crap to it. It’s fucking coffee! I mean you don’t have to drink it black but [...]

/*This was a bulletin on Myspace and I am just re posting it. I started to tear up towards the end. Try and actually remember when you are in those situations as you read. Oh yeah, I haven’t posted in a while because I am putting all my efforts into finding a job so if [...]

The biggest problem with college is that everyone is going now. If every student who graduated high school went on to graduate from college then it would be meaningless and everyone would be looking for a masters degree.
People are making it worse by buying into the whole college thing. Listen people, [...]

I recently compiled a list of the DVDs I own. I’m still not finished with them all but it’s a start. Let me know what you think. Unless it’s bad news, in that case I don’t want to hear about it. Just kidding.
/* The link for the movies are on the [...]

1. People with obscene amounts of money. Who needs 10 billion dollars? No one! After you hit the saturation point and you never need to work a day in your life ever again just donate the rest of it.
2. Reality shows. Why do people want reality on TV anyhow? We [...]

What a dick! Someone rated my blog and gave me all ones. I don’t even think they read my blog because they said that they liked the recipes on my site the most. I don’t even have and fucking recipes! Assholes.
