Mysteries of Life

In life, there are some things that are discretely good and discretely bad. Examples of good things: a meal, success. Examples of bad things: rape, murder self destruction.

Those are quite clear.

What I am curious about is the things that are in the middle and are not necessarily good or bad. Those things compose most of the world. Also, are there more obviously bad things than obviously good things in this world? Is it easier to spot something harmful than something helpful? I think so. I wish I had a better grasp on what was "good" for me so that I would know what I should or shouldn't be doing. Not everyone is the same, and not everyone can follow the same set of rules.

What I've been up to:

Some studying and working for school; not too much, maybe not enough.
Lots of reading of articles and information on the internet.
Some automation of my Everquest playing, which frees me up for other things.
Some exploration of my mind through various outlets, one of them being sleep. Lots of sleep going on here.
Some general exercise so as to keep me from falling into to deep a depression.
Lots of listening to music on my computer and general fooling around and toying with programs and just having a grand old time with my computer. I love computers, <3 gadgets.

The new Sage Francis LP was released on the internet and it's very very very good. For those of you who enjoyed Personal Journals, I recommend it. I enjoyed "Hope" , his LP that was produced exclusively by fellow Rhode Island-ian Joe Beats. But this is nothing like hope. Good old, emotional, crazy Sage Francis. I'll buy this when it comes out, for sure.

Indigestion.

O, Gods. My stomach is slain!


Jazz Music:

Often times, listening to Jazz music makes me feel like I'm in a movie. Some songs just reek of resolution and different events and stuff. Ahh, so good.

I don't know how it got there but at least I didn't mess with cocaine. What?

We must fuck up the restaurant in order to get a picture of Steven Tyler, because:

He is important and famous. Most importantly though, he is the best looking skeleton on the planet.

Life:

Google defines it as "the experience of living; the course of human events and activities" among other things.
I currently define it as "a vast collection of misunderstandings, misconceptions, and miscommunications set to music" this is all just crazy and there's no way to figure it out completely. The misunderstanding part is usually illustrated very well. Misunderstandings are everywhere. Right now, I can think of some big ones as recent as 24 hours ago. As it is not possible to figure out such a complex but wholly necessary demon (life is necessary for life, believe it or not), the best I can do is try to make it as good as possible: for me. I have to make things good for me, and me alone. Martyrdom may get a person into history, but will that person have lived a fulfilling life? No. I don't want to be a martyr. I want to live "the good life" , like the one Rivers Cuomo sings about. Maybe then I'll have freedom from slight, but very real neuroses. Neuroses is a good word, but apparently it's not used any more.

An interesting tidbit about clowns.

I never knew clown culture was so deep:

Code of non-infringement

Wikipedia is so awesome.

Just some things to say.

It's been almost two weeks since my last post. For that, I am sincerely sorry. Of course I have a good reason for not posting - I've been extremely busy with school and stuff. Right now, life is just like a whirlwind of misunderstandings. I strongly believe that any person who has a life in which they regularly interact with many a variety of people on a personal level lives a somewhat chaotic life that would make an excellent movie or book. One does not need to have a life filled with sex drugs and violence to entertain others. One only needs others, because it's quite obvious that other people complicate life very much. On the other hand, people are just so damned fun. I love people. I myself am stuck doing what I am known best for - waiting until the last minute to do something important. I always tell myself to change and get into better habits - I have gotten into a few habits that were better than habits I have had in the past, but for the most part I am not so good at the "follow-through" part of the deal. I don't follow through well. Often times I don't even attempt the follow-through, as I assume I can get by the way things are. I am the ultimate example of the high level of entertainment that people provide. Everything we do is just so damned funny if you're looking at it from the outside. Take one scene out of your life or anyone elses at any time of day and just break it down and continue breaking it down until you can see the humor. There is much humor in everything, when you get down to the causes of doing certain tasks or trying to achieve goals. There is also humor in the effects of said causes. Maybe I'll get into this in greater details in the next few days when I have more time. Sometimes I have issues seeing the reason for anything I do. I ought to try to remember to look at things from the perspective of someone outside of our culture or perhaps our species whenever I feel this way. It may help. Good things come to those who are capable of seeing good.

Listen, people:

I know a few people must actually read this site, if only accidentally. What you need to know is that I'm giving out Gmail invites without asking any questions, really. Google recently added some new features to Gmail , and they are cool. They include forwarding your Gmail mail to another mail account. Just drop me a line, damn. It's a gigabyte of mail storage, for free, from Google, so it's good.

Holy fucking shit

I have more than one post with this title, I am sure of this.


The weather outside is crazier than it's been as long as I can remember, and I did something crazy in it:
I ran the mile and a half or so back to my car, from Smith hall where I had my Chemistry exam, in the pouring rain. It was good fun. The drive back home was a terrible bitch, however.

Monday, September 27, 2004

Useff posted this on an internet forum and I must say, I've never laughed harder from one mostly innocent picture.

Good God

I'm getting back into my bad habits. This is just one day though, I can spring back.




Also, this sandwich is delicious.

Today, I listened to Hope in the car and Coral Fang while I was on my feet.

Coral Fang - The Distillers




I have a discrete math exam tomorrow morning and



Actually that's all I have to say. It's quite self-explanatory in my opinion.

I am a big fan of blogs, however

Some people really must learn to distinguish when the color of their text and their background conflict badly.

I found those links just now, in a couple minutes of clicking on the Blogger navbar.

People are really something else.
I listened to this while walking around campus today:



Highlights:
  • Who the hell knows? This was really strange to listen to. Jamie Stewart is a very angry man who seems to have a lot of terrible relationships with other men and bad things build up inside of him. But I'm listening to it again right now, so I guess you could say I enjoyed it. If I had to pick a song, I would have to pick Fabulous Muscles. One really must hear it to appreciate it.
Then came Antics by Interpol:



Highlights:
  • I thought the entire album was fantastic. One track of note is track #2, titled Evil. But the whole thing is fantastic and not about homosexual relationships or child abuse, which makes it somewhat different from Fabulous Muscles.

Shlimazl - Yiddish for a chronically unlucky person.

A wealth of fun information
Words hardest to translate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Today, while walking to class I listened to this:



Highlights:
  • Hitchin' A Ride
  • The Grouch
  • Last Ride In
  • Suffocate
Then, I listened to this:



Highlights:
  • Abra Cadaver
  • Two-Timing Touch and Broken Bones
  • Walk, Idiot Walk
That's the last of the highlights though, notice it's only the first three songs. That is because I was at my car at that time. Also, I found the car keys in the glove compartment. What the hell?! How did I leave them there? How was I able to walk to the car with them yesterday morning, put them in the glove compartment, and then immediately forget I put them there? I'm becoming senile in my old age. Damn.

Observations for Monday, September 13th 2004:

  • Internet Explorer is a wack piece of shit. Webpages look and run better in other browsers, like the one I'm using. If you're using IE, do yourself a favor and click on the "Get Firefox" button at the bottom of this page.
  • It would seem that there is some sort of mystical balance in the universe that keeps things from being too good or too shitty. I was having one of the best streaks of good stuff in my life, and it had been going on for a while. Today, on this rotten Monday, my luck turned around

    and punched me in the forehead

    and then peed on me. My keychain with my car key and house key seems to have disappeared into thin air. The irony of it, is that it must be somewhere in the house, or around the perimeter of the house. I've done a very thorough search to no avail. How do you lose - not misplace, but lose your keys in your own house? I don't know, but I have accomplished this most excellent feat. School is getting "weird" too, I guess. That's the only way to describe it right now. Weird.
  • I need to post on here more, for me. Writing is good, and getting thoughts out onto paper, or in this case, onto the internet can be helpful. I'm a fairly creative person and not such an awful writer, so it's not too far fetched for me to post something with substance here every day.
  • I still have to finish bringing the stuff from my UD page here, so that it can be seen by more. It wasn't that good anyway, but I just want it here. Blogger is powerful and easy.
  • I ought to get a job. I was talking to Pooja at the Gallery (mall) in Philadelphia (city) the other day (24 hour period according to most) and we were talking about the kiosks that people set up in the mall. She said that those things are probably losing money, because no one really goes to them and buys things. Then I agreed, then I disagreed because I remembered this time in my life when I had money. Money changes things. Money enables one to walk up to a kiosk, notice something that catches your eye, and buy that product without thinking twice about it. Think about it: if you're one of those people lucky enough to have money, haven't you bought things spontaneously? If you had money in the past, didn't you do this too? Yeah, thought so.
  • I'm all out of observations. Useff tells me that The Sims 2 was "released" last weekend.
  • The Black Table: highly entertaining and informative website with all kinds of good things. I've linked to here before.

I plan to

Copy all content from the old Udel website to here, soon.

So, here's what I'm doing

  • Watching Don Lapre's new infomercial, "The greatest vitamin in the world". It's amazing
  • Installing Norton Systemworks: It seems like Useff and I the only ones we know who never get viruses. What's up with that? No viruses detected so far. I like computers.

Hi again.

For some reason the colors on the Ads are not showing up correctly.


Also, fish sticks.

AdSense?

Okay

I think everything is going to be all right.

Yes, yes I do. School starts in a week, but I can handle that. Pooja is going away to school Friday, but I can handle that. My classes may suck. That is manageable.


Things are going to be all right.

Monday, August 23, 2004

So, I'm setting up an Adsense account:

This could be the start of something good...


right?
I decided to take some pictures tonight. Couldn't sleep. How do I look? Fuck.

I'm watching Steel

And I must say this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I would have turned it off 5 minutes ago, but I just know it's only going to get worse. I must witness this.

I'm getting closer to where I want to be with this

I am so glad I made backups of all my stuff. Also, I started using Dreamweaver again a few days ago. What a priceless piece of software.

I am a wicked e-sinner

But my website is still up for some e-renovations.

So far, so simple.

Oh yeah, also:

I did get an 'A' in Philosophy.

I haven't given up.

I've just gotten a few complaints in the last few days about why my website was gone. I figure it's better to have this as a placeholder than nothing at all.

The new bar at the top makes it easy to find stuff that I think may be unique

Such as blogging by a six year old. Crazy!

Now it's off to dinner~

I'm going to try to eat everything.

Blogger got rid of the ads

I guess a.) they were tired of people like me and Matt getting rid of them ourselves through unconventional means, b.) they we're growing tired of the complaints that their Adsense results turned out to be grossly different from the actual content of the page in many cases (such as "vote bush" links being displayed on an anti bush page), and c.)Blogger is just frickin' awesome.

Long story short, the package went out, and from now on I will post my parcels between 12 and 1, when I know Gene to be out on the loading dock, crying into his own pussy, his fingers pulling his pussy lips far enough apart for the tears. Fuck you, Gene. Fuck you for nothing.
Click here to read what I'm laughing at. I love Achewood character blogs.

update: looks like that post was taken down and replaced with a less offensive post. The only thing changed was the last paragraph, which coincidentally enough, I have here. This is the only place you can see this, as far as I know, folks!

Fixed?

I just gave up on the scrollable main content block...not like anyone cares, and it makes me happy because the site doesn't jump any more.

I had a weird dream

Everyone I knew from middle school and up, who seemed to disappear (i.e. I never got in touch with them again) was showing up at this school in california and it was a totally awesome high school where they ate lunch and sang songs and did nothing all damn day. I wonder if there's a school like that somewhere. This dream must have something to do with Pooja going to California for the week, right?

So now it's working. The power supply was fine. Everything is going fine with the Windows install so far. Now that that's out of the way, I may have some time to fix this web site bug~
