The Wild Frontier Of The Internet

Well, the internet is a crazy place. I have some things to say about it. If you're spending any large amount of your free time, or other time for that matter, on the internet, it is highly likely that you are a member of some kind of internet community. Maybe even a few. Internet communities are great places for information, but they are also filled with some of the worst kinds of people. People who do not engage in normal social interactions find the internet to be a great place to "be somebody," and often times they take this to the extreme: they "be somebody" other than who they actually are in real life.

I try to be myself on the internet and it works quite well. No, I have not constructed some invincible internet persona that I use as a medium to tell tall and legendary tales. Some people do this. A lot of people actually, do this. In fact, I don't even tell many tales of my real life on the internet, to internet users. I feel like that's a perfect way to spread misinformation, which is something I am vehemently against. If you know me, you already know this though. The internet is just as good for information as it is for lies. By and large, this internet is pretty accepting. If you cannot exist happily in some dark corner out here, there's really no hope for you. If you manage to alienate everyone on the internet who you happen to meet, you are lost and I do not know how to help you.


Blogger is still fucking up. It's fucking up in a different way now (you may notice that my text is being eaten by the menu on the right). This is bound to happen once in a while. It's a free service that is mostly awesome, though.

I travel back to that from whence I came

In an effort to reclaim what I have lost through time
Time has been misused, but can still be retreated
I can make a change, and stand firmly before the gusts of ignorance that try to blow me down

Blogger is fucking up.

For real

The Hurricane

The hurricane came to our town and left us with shreds of everything that made this place home. It took our shelter into itself, and spit it back out, useless. It ate the souls of men by the score. Our livestock numbers were reduced greatly; some of the animals that were not sucked into the tempest were rendered useless by the poison it took with it from the refinery it had visited before it came to us. Nature had never been so cruel to our people before. We were left with nothing that resembled our lives prior to the event, and we did not have nearly enough resources to rebuild even the shoddiest habitats. Our existence may as well have ended. Some of us envied those who perished in the storm. Others were not envious, but just sad because so many of their family members were taken from them. There were a few who were out of touch with the whole mess. These folk attempted to carry on with life, pretending that nothing happened. One cannot use a water pump that is in pieces, especially not when the supply it is connected to has been fouled by this storm, a storm that left behind everything bad and took everything good.

Our shattered people were coming to grips with the truth: by the next full moon, there would be even less of us than there were now. By the next harvest--there would be no next harvest. No food, and no one to plant for the next season. Some people were very bitter. All of our religious leaders had died during the catastrophe. Some had even taken their lives prior to, sensing that all would be lost.

There was a village just south of where we lived. A scout climbed to the top of the highest point of our lands and confirmed what we suspected. It was true, this village had been untouched by the storm. Now we had to do what must be done. But what was it that had to be done?

Some seriously ill shit.

Hey, what is up Burt's Beeswax Lip Balm 

Hey, it's been a while since I have blogged!

I'm working again. Same shit, different location.

Some things I will do this summer:

• Make my arms strong enough to support the entire weight of my body for a good length of time.
• Purchase a nice digital camera and take beautiful pictures with it.
• Dispel some of the myths I have learned over the years about life, the innate differences between sexes (believe me, this would sound a lot less strange if I explained it), and other things. All in all, this should give me a sliver of enlightenment and make me a better person.
• Learn, always learn. Read a lot. But more than reading, doing. I want to make myself stronger academically, but not in a classroom setting necessarily, as I do not really plan on registering for summer classes. I know I can do this, because I am me.
• Perform the kinds of recreational activities that give me lasting memories and change me for the better both physically and otherwise.
• Listen to new music, see new music being performed (I am already pretty far into both of these. I am enjoying Black Eyes and Liars very much, and their music is exactly what I want right now.)
• Reflect on what I believe is a major folly of humanity: the overwhelming majority's perception that we are something significantly greater than the other biological entities that exist on this planet. We are no better than the sea lion, and our basic needs are not that much different. We are also not too much prettier than they are. If people were naked more often, they would see how much they resembled every other thing on this planet. One of the main things that seperates "man" from "beast" is clothing. I'd like to organize some kind of nudity thing, but I do not know how well it would be received, how successful it would be, and most importantly, I do not know if it is something I really want to do. It might be absolutely wrong. I still believe that clothing is one of the things that is blinding man from the truth about his existence.

Ha-ha, look at all that pseudo-intellectual bullshit I wrote. Sorry, but that's how I feel right about things right now.

Quantum science is way cool.

Horrors behind my eyes

Sleep is usually a good thing. Not only does it replenish energy, organize thoughts, and give you something to do for about eight hours, but there is also a chance that your subconscious mind will cook up some wonderful fantasy for you. One of the most terrible things that can happen is for that fantasy to be twisted into a horror. In dreams I have seen things worse than I have ever seen in real life. Catastrophes so great in scale, with so much death and suffering that they make even the worst current events seem like normal occurences. To make it worse, I experience them all firsthand as they happen. This doesn't happen too often, but it has been happening with greater frequency over the last month. Luckily, in most of these nightmares there is some shred of hope. I do believe that if something terrible were to happen to man as a species, there would be some shred of hope in most cases. Something has to survive!

Creationism: God's gift to the ignorant

Here is an interesting article about creationism, which is now commonly disguised as "intelligent design theory." The author, Richard Dawkins, discusses how intelligent design theorists love to take scientists' quotes out of context, and then how they use these quotes against the scientists in a very ignorant way. Funny/sad/interesting.

Animals and us: Close encounters

If you've been hanging around me lately, you may have noticed that I do a lot of talking about primates other than humans. Namely, Chimpanzees and Bonobo Monkeys. Here is a timely interview with Jane Goodall, who is very famous for her research and study of chimps.

Wired 13.06: Time's Up, Einstein

A really interesting article from Wired; it is about Peter Lynds, a man who believes that time cannot be broken up into individual quanta, because time is just an illusion created by man's brain:Wired 13.06: Time's Up, Einstein

The article also postulates that Lynds' soon to be published book could be a very popular one. A book that could really get the pop science ball rolling again. This is probably be a good thing, as long as the ideas in the book aren't total bullshit. I guess anything that gets the public interested in science is a good thing.

Sometimes I like my music loud. So loud that it sort of arrests my other senses and forces me to listen with everything I've got. My body feels numb in a way that is indescribable. When it is loud enough that other things cannot be concentrated on, those other things that cannot be focused upon cease to matter. In a way though, they matter more than everything else. If the music is loud, I can reflect on things that I would otherwise be too busy for. Every day, one is bombarded by so much information. Every sight, taste, smell, feeling, and noise; these are all pieces of information that are force-fed to our persons every conscious moment. For me, it is helpful to just concentrate on a single sense sometimes. I usually do not do this, but in the future I will make a point to do it more. I feel like if I saturate myself with one sense, it will help the others along in some strange way.

People, Why?

I walk around every day feeling like just beneath the surface, our culture is fundamentally damaged in some way. Suicide, depression, obesity; these things are everywhere, and the people who experience them are not to fault. It could not simply be a trend because it is too widespread. Somewhere in the fabric of our society is a seed of corruption, and it has spread outward, causing people to either lose their lives entirely or live with greatly diminished quality of life. Don't believe me? Then look elsewhere to other Westernized nations. The Japanese who adopted Western culture very rapidly after being essentially cut off from the rest of the world for hundreds of years have an extremely high suicide rate amongst their youth. In fact, it has been higher in the past than the suicide rate of American kids. Their overall suicide rate is higher; the highest of all Westernized nations. Want another example that backs the idea of Western culture being not as ideal as its champions would like us to think? Look at this painfully current fad in the UK: teens engaging in risky group sex. Daisy Chaining! Wow, what a great term. HIV and other diseases are spreading among the youth there. Maybe we'll just have to go back to teaching kids that sex will kill them indiscriminately, and anything that feels good is a sin! That's the way you all were brought up, right?

Oatmeal Swirlers

Damn, does anyone remember those? So good. I only had them one or two times in my childhood, but something about that product was simply magical. What child would not want to put some red syrupy stuff into his oatmeal and make designs with it, or basically do whatever he wants inside of the bowl? If you were one of these kids who was not impressed by this, we cannot be friends. Ever. If you did not know about this delightful breakfast cereal until now, that is okay with me. I just wish I had more to tell or show you about it. Google only turns up a few pages of results, and no images. I know that if I were to eat this food today I would probably be disappointed, but I still want to try it. Maybe the magic will carry over, and it will make me a better person.

Here is a petition to General Mills to get this food produced again: http://www.petitiononline.com/Oatmeal/petition.html

Over-Sentimentality: The Battle Against Mush

I abhor mushy shit. Maybe I just don't like romance; I hate seeing a movie and there being a bunch of needlessly mushy shit in there. Often times it makes me cringe. That is not the way I choose to live my life. I don't believe that people are that way by nature...not most of us anyway. I worry that people see movies with this kind of stuff in them, and then they emulate it in real life, which is pretty bad. You've been around it, you know how it is. I believe romance in a movie can be done without all of this nonsense. I believe one can create a great movie that does not end with someone getting what they always wanted in a significant other. I have seen such films! Such films though, are few and far between, because Hollywood at large believes that these mushy scenes in films are more palatable for the average movie-goer. Is this true? I hope not. I fear it might be.

Sometimes, I wonder:

People who scream loudly when they get upset; do they do this because they think perhaps God will hear their plea and help them out? Example: A man screams "I HATE THIS CAR! IT IS A PIECE OF SHIT!" It is obvious that this man hates his car and considers it of equal or lesser worth than the contents of his own bowels. Does he scream this at the top of his lungs in the hopes that some divine benefactor will give him a new car? Or perhaps a wealthy person who is in a giving mood will take pity on him?

Ponder that.

Pruning / Reorganizing MP3s

This process involves me deleting music which is no longer relevant, or albums that are incomplete or otherwise fucked. My rationale for deleting albums that are really just missing a song or two is that I would not want to listen to an album that is incomplete, and to spend the time searching for just one file is a waste of my time. After all, there is an ocean of music out there and I can't ever possibly listen to everything I would like to hear.

DFA79, or: How I Got My Face Melted Off And Enjoyed Every Moment Of It

Holy fuck that show was all kinds of awesome. The crowd was absolutely rabid. Sebastien was talking a lot of shit to the kids in the audience who were saying things. His caustic wit was hilarious. Like, someone was complaining about the bass, and he was like "Well you're in the fucking mosh pit, if you want it to sound good go stand in the middle like everyone else." (That is not exactly what he said, but it was pretty similar.) There was a lot of other stuff that happened, and all of it was cool. All of the other bands were pretty good but Controller.Controller was really awesome as well. When you have 5 people on stage rocking out, it is generally awesome. I want to hear more of them, and I want them to put out a full length album (they had an EP on sale at the show that I did not pick up but would like to hear very much).

It was memorable to say the least.

Something beautiful happened in the church house, but it didn't have to do with God

I saw Q And Not U last night and it was an amazing and fun show. There were a lot of good people there, I had a great time. I spent about 45 minutes trying to find parking, and it was such a fucking bummer I almost gave up and went back home. A decent spot magically appeared on Market Street though, so I stayed in Philadelphia. No, seriously, it was like 45 minutes.

In any case, I went into the show and I missed some of Horses' performance. What I saw was really pretty good though. Manhunter was next, and they showed the crowd a good time. People danced, Manhunter danced, fun was had by all. Then there was this hip-hop act, Food For Animals. I did not like it very much, and I am a gigantic hip-hop fan. I really dug the noise, but the rapping was lackluster, although there were a few good punchlines. I felt it was more like some guys on stage jamming, and a fat bearded guy just enjoying himself doing some rapping on the stage, and not really giving a shit about the crowd, or his flow. Actually, that's EXACTLY what it was. The crowd was bored. We were all bored, but they were enjoying themselves pretty hard. It was like they were just all up there masturbating, and we were waiting for them to finish up. Q And Not U though: Damn they were amazing. It was so much fun. I don't usually shake my ass, I am a pretty rigid person, or at least I was until then. Last night I shook my ass. I shook it for quite a while and enjoyed it.

Hitler: The Pathology of Evil

A few days ago I finished this book, Hitler: The Pathology of Evil, by George Victor. I don't normally get down with non-fiction books, but my next book just might be another history book. It was extremely interesting to me. This book was excellent. Basically, it is a breakdown of Hitler's life, but less of a biography and more of an analysis of what specific events had on Hitler's psyche, and then once his personality had taken root, how it affected the decisions he made in life. It does a pretty good job of explaining why he did some of the extremely irrational things he did during his life; so many of his actions are contradictory. Many, perhaps even most of the decisions Hitler made while he was in power are based on extremely personal things in his life. He really used the National Socialist Party to carry out a personal agenda, none of it good. He really did loathe himself, and if one were to read this book it would be obvious. This book has changed me a little. I have read and seen things about the Holocaust and World War II era-Germany before, but those things did not make the issues real for me. After all, I was born 40 years after it all ended. What made this book significant for me was the idea it put in my head: the idea that if one terrible person, just a single tainted soul takes a position of great power, they can command the deaths of so many innocent people. Hitler himself is the only one who can be blamed for the unfathomable number of lives lost back then. He committed what are undoubtedly the most evil acts in history. No one belonging to any particular ethnic group, or nationality, or religion should be put to death simply because they belong to a certain group. The man's ideas were terribly flawed all around, not just regarding racial purity. The truth of this matter reveals itself in his command of the military and his personal life, especially. Anyhow, I recommend the book.

It's too bad she won't live! But then again, who does?

I saw Blade Runner for the first time tonight. I think I have seen all the films based on Philip K. Dick novels now. It was good, but it was not a bright film. It is one of the darkest films I've ever seen. God bless the 80s. I think Useff summed it up pretty well when he said, "This movie is a toilet."

Broomball or Broom Hockey; Either Way, It Was Rough

Today I wanted to take some pictures of things in my room and write about them. The camera I use is out of batteries though, and besides: fuck that camera. It is old and bad. I want a new camera that is good (much better than this one).

Instead, I will tell you about Friday night's Broomball experience.

First of all, I should tell you a little bit about the game. I do not know very much about it to tell the truth. Friday was my first time ever playing it, and I had not heard very much about it prior to last week. It is a game played on an ice rink with sticks that resemble hockey sticks. Instead of having a blade at the bottom, there is a triangular stopper. This tool is called a broom. I assume it is called a broom because it resembles one. We played with a large ball which is about 1/2 the side of a soccer ball if I remember correctly. We wore our sneakers on the ice. The way we played it may not have been very correct according to the official rules, but let me tell you about it. It was like a game of hockey, but with less rules. We could use our hands to swat the ball out of the air, and we could also kick the ball if we desired.

So Pat Ruff asked Useff and I to come join him for a Broomball tournament that the university was having on Friday night. We met him and a student from the dorm where he is an RA at one of the indoor ice rinks on campus. This student, Emilio, would be our goalie. There, we were not sure what we were doing because we basically just showed up. A co-ordinator told us that we had to have eight people on the team, so he gave us four total strangers. Their names were Lei, Kelly, Brad, and Brian. I am not sure if those names are spelled correctly, because I never saw them in writing and had never spoken to these people before the tournament, and I have not seen or spoken to them since. Anyhow, we got all ready to play, which really didn't involve anything. Some of us wore helmets, some did not. We went to another rink to play against our first opponents, and the rink was really slippery. I fell and busted my ass a lot, and for the next two days I was basically just one big bruise because of all this falling. A lot of people were falling. I am still sore in some places. We beat this team 2-0 and we were very proud of ourselves. I was proud that I performed so well in a sport that I did not even know existed. Our next opponents were not so easy. They called themselves an intimidating name which I cannot remember. I gave our team the name The Eggs, which was not very intimidating, but I tried to convince my teammates that it was. Against this second team we played our hearts out, and I gave it all I had, but we lost 0-2. The good thing was that the rink was not nearly as slippery as the first one. The other team was extremely aggressive though, and a few of them were actual hockey players so they knew what they were doing. I didn't realize just how fucking sore I was until the next day when I had trouble climbing a set of steps. Even in spite of our loss and injury (No one really walked away without being hurt), I am still proud of our team The Eggs. We played like champions.

If you want to read more about Broomball, here is a link to the wikipedia entry on it. After reading that article I realize we were playing with eight players, and you are supposed to have only six in an official game. This is okay though.

I know this is not new, however:

I have taken to folding all of my shirts in the "new" method that took the internet by storm last year. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see a diagram of what to do. The rest of the page is mostly commentary by various "Laundry Experts" on this method.

I woke up today and I knew the first thing I must do was:

Listen to "Stars and Sons" on the Broken Social Scene album You Forgot It In People

I watched two movies today

In the morning, I saw Training Day, and finished it around 10. In the evening, I saw i heart huckabees, and finished it around 10.

Training Day was brutal, that was pretty much the feeling I got from the movie. This world is a brutal place with a lot of "wolves" in it. I'm very glad I watched it. Denzel Washington played an awesome character. A lot of blacks were upset that he was nominated and received an Academy Award for playing a villainous character. They say, "Denzel Washington has been in so many other amazing roles, why did he have to win for being a bad guy?" I say they need to look past that and see that this was one of the best roles anyone has ever played in a film, in my opinion. Alonzo Harris was just such a great character, and I think the award going to him had very little to do with him being black. Perhaps I am being overly optimistic though.

i heart huckabees was pretty good. I mean, it wasn't great, but it had memorable things about it. It is basically about existentialism vs. nihilism, and the whole movie is done in a kind of slapstick humor fashion. There are pretty well defined agents of existentialism and nihilism who are trying to win the different characters in the movie over and guide them along their paths. One thing I found interesting was that most of the scenes with the existentialists were EXTREMELY chaotic, while the main agent of nihilism appears in scenes that are more serene, with fewer people trying to talk over each other and less wacky stuff going on. Anyhow, if you've seen the movie you may want to explore it a little bit more and see how my observation makes you feel about it. There are definitely some messages in there far beneath what can be gathered from the film and screenplay.

A Dream

This afternoon, I dreamed that myself and a friend were in a strange urban environment, at the center of which was a summer camp or kindergarden. I am not sure which, but it had aspects of both; there were free meals, but lots of playing and very little intellectual stimulation. Somehow wine and Wellbutrin were involved too. I think a third friend was getting sloppy with the wine (from a box, probably, but I do not remember) prior to our trek into the child's camp, and we each decided to help ourselves to a couple of glasses of the red stuff. I cannot be certain as the details are fading away, but we may have been posing as kindergarden children. We were fucking getting away with it, too. We had an advantage: The caretakers were all old black cracked out ghetto bitches, like the ones that may or may not have been YOUR lunch ladies, depending on where you went to school. Let's say for all intents and purposes that they were not all black, but they were still like, you know..."Lunch Ladies." Anyhow, it was like we walked into the middle of some kind of festival, or recess, or something. We were just hanging out and having a good time, and things started to get weird. My attitude and perception of things were both a little bit skewed, as if reality did not have its usual effect. I attributed this to the Wellbutrin and the alcoholic spirits which I had forgotten about imbibing. Anyhow, there were some guys hanging around the friend I brought, and one of them was grabbing her in such a way that would imply they were together. I said to her, aside, "Is that your boyfriend?" or something to that effect. She replied "No, and this is creeping me out." Then, we did the logical thing to deter any further advances from this undesirable element: we made out, and it was a good time. The guys left of course, and I was left with a feeling for the friend that seemed new, but it may have just been lying dormant for a while. Anyhow, things are a bit blurry after that, and we may have gotten sort of physical again, but I do not remember. The important thing that happened next was dinner. It was being served! It was kind of difficult to get our dinners because a lot of people were slipping in front of us and we were too polite to stop them. So we had to wait a while, and then I totally fucked things up and made the lunch ladies mad. I think I knocked over something small and it caused some sort of domino effect that knocked over one of their overly large and cumbersome serving trays. They served me though. I remember having issues picking a place to sit, but I do not remember the food, or how it tasted. I think it was some kind of peppered fish and bread, which is strange since I no longer eat fish. This story is about to come to a close. I think we just talked about things we didn't have, and then we either a) walked off into the sunset, or b) I just woke up so the dream never really ended.




I am still one large bruise from Friday's broom hockey game. Maybe I'll write about that later today, or tomorrow.

Maybe I won't write about it.

I Suppose My G is Just Too Futuristic For Some Cats

So, in the previous entry I mentioned Sarah Tonin. I talked to someone about this, and apparently it was not too clear that I was not referring to a real person, but rather a neurotransmitter in the brain.

This is going to be pretty cool in my room 

It feels like I'm being washed over by goodness

Anyhow, it's nice to be hanging out with Sarah Tonin again.

None of the following information is really important nor is it correct, but you already know that. I just think it's nice to see. Wow, it looks especially off-target this week.

Comcast: Fucking Up My Internet Experience One Packet At A Time

I'm not sure what's going on, but I do not have access to a lot of web pages and whoever's fault it is, I feel like blaming Comcast. (It is probably Comcast anyway). I saw a Def Jux show last night and it was probably the best hip hop show I've ever been to. Of course, there were assholes there, and of course it seemed like the vast majority of them were around me (No really, I DO think they were mostly around me.) There was one guy from Virginia who brought his fucking license plate in. The plate read "DEF JUX." I guess he thought it was cool or something (it was the very antithesis of cool to be honest). I am running quite low on money.

Foiled Again

Hey, Blogger seems to keep dumping my posts today. I did not have a whole lot to say for this entry, except to recommend Super Furry Animals to "cats" who are "sleeping" and to say that this is the first nice weekend of Spring, and I plan to enjoy it on my own terms. This will be the third time I have tried to post this entry, and it has changed a little, but it is mostly the same. Here are some audioscrobbler stats for no reason at all.

More On Keeping Your Computer Super Operational

As I was thinking about this I stumbled upon this link at http://del.icio.us/popular/ : http://killspyware.shorturl.com/ . It explains everything I was stressing in the other post about this, and then some. Today I am going to tell you about my add/remove programs function, and tell you all the programs that are in it. I know what every single one does. You too should know what all of your programs do, and why they are there. It's a pretty good way to decide what is spyware and what is not, if you are having a problem.

Action Replay XBOX 1.31: This is something I used to soft mod my Xbox. I don't really need it any more, but I haven't uninstalled it. As you can see, I haven't used it in more than a month. The last time it was used was to mod a friend's Xbox.

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional: Adobe's program to read / make PDF files

Adobe Photoshop CS: Adobe's excellent image editing software. Note: I suck with this program.

AOL Instant Messenger: lol

Audioscrobbler Component for Foobar 2000: This is what gives me those audioscrobbler statistics I have blogged about in the past. It is a plugin that reads what songs are playing and sends information to the audioscrobbler website (http://www.audioscrobbler.com)

BitComet: I have blogged about this. It's a pretty good Bittorrent client.

CCleaner: This was discussed in the previous entry.

CDex Audio Extraction: A great and free program that allows you to rip CDs and encode them into different compressed format, most notably MP3. Lots of other formats supported as well though.

Copernic Desktop Search: I don't use this too much, but desktop search programs are pretty cool for us Windows users. It's just a way of searching files that is faster and works better than the built in Windows Search.

Craxtion4: I use this to extract Xbox ISOs.

DAEMON Tools: I use this to mount disc images to virtual drives.

DeadAIM: An addon for AIM that gives me tabbed browsing among other things. The tabs are most important though.

DefilerPak 1.19: A package of video / audio codecs that let me view most of the popular formats out there.

FlashFXP v3: File Transfer Protocol client.

Foobar2000: This is an amazing and highly configurable audio player for Windows.

GetDiz 3.0: NFO text format viewer.

Google Gmail Notifier: Gmail icon in my system tray to alert me to new mail.

Hello: Chat (rarely used) and Blogger image uploader.

IconPackager: Handy software that allows me to change default icons.

iPod for Windows 2005-01-11: Software for iPod.

J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 1: This is like Java or something lol

Ok, enough of this. By now you get the picture. If you're really interested in knowing EVERYTHING I have installed, email me and I'll be happy to tell you all about it.

The point is, I know what everything on my computer does. I can tell you off the top of my head, which is what I just did. I knew why I had those programs, and why they were useful to me.

• If you are the sole user of a computer, try to know what everything does.
  

• If you are unsure about a program, try to do a google search on its name and find out if it's a malicious program or something you need to keep.
  

• Try not to have more than one program that does the same exact thing.
  

• Try to use a program that suits your needs and your style well without giving you too much grief.

In many cases there are a LOT of different products out there and a lot of them are out there for the taking, so take advantage of them! Believe me, your computer does not have to run like a broken piece of shit. Unless of course it's really broken, in which case you need to get that piece of shit fixed. You own your computer, do not let it own you.

To Dampen The Preceding Post

Peace to Sufjan Stevens.

Some links:

http://www-csli.stanford.edu/~john/procrastination.html - "Structured Procrastination"

Okay, fuck links for now.

I'd like to discuss people and computers and their computers being in a constant state of disrepair: WHY AND HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS HAPPEN? I download more than anyone I know. I am on the internet more than almost anyone I know. Useff and I together do more on the internet in a day than most people do in a week, I would imagine. I get deep into the underbelly of this inter-net, and I stay uninfected with anything. How in the fuck...


Just how in the fuck do people manage to have computers that are absolutely crippled by spyware, adware, viruses and other shit?

Let me show you all what I use to keep my computer clean and safe:

• FIREFOX, A WEB BROWSER: http://www.getfirefox.com/. This is the first and simplest step (MOST NECESSARY STEP AS WELL) to keeping your computer free of bullshit. It doesn't have the same vulnerabilities as Internet Explorer, and is pretty frequently updated by folks who care about web browsing. It's free.
• CCLEANER, APTLY TITLED SO FOR BEING A "CRAP CLEANER": http://www.ccleaner.com/. I only discovered this program a few months ago, but it is already priceless to me. It cleans out temporary file folders and a lot of the shit you don't need in web browsers and whatnot, and allows them to run faster and gets rid of information that does not need to be lying around. Also, it can fix some registry problems which will also make your computer run faster.
• SPYBOT: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html. FREE FUCKING SPYWARE REMOVER. SIMPLE TOO! I never need to use it, because I never find myself getting spyware.

I don't really know what to say about all the crippled slow ass computers out there. It bothers me when I use other peoples computers and they are slow as hell. It's like people have come to expect their machines to be finicky, buggy pieces of shit when they really don't have to be, even when running windows (I run windows 95% of the time and have no regrets about doing so). A computer is supposed to work for you, you are not supposed to work for your computer. I know so many people who seem to be following the same steps I am, yet end up with computers that run horribly. I really REALLY REALLY want to find the root of this problem because it really bothers me. There are only so many scenarios that seem logical. One is that a lot of people are using the computer and not all of them are as educated on the matters at hand, so they will open internet explorer even though it is not the default browser, simply because it is familiar. Then, they will go to some god awful porn site or some kind of fake file sharing hub and it will install all kinds of nasty shit on the computer / inside of internet explorer to hijack it, and it will take a lot of undoing to to get it back to its former state. Another scenario is that people are installing programs on a whim just to do something stupid (i.e. installing real player and checking all the crazy options and ending up with a computer filled with all kinds of wild shit, or installing a different media player for each kind of file they want to play [there are media players that will play damn near everything for FREE, people]. Don't install real player and quicktime, look into real alternative and quicktime alternative. )

I'm done bitching (for now). I'm sure what is written above this is hard to read. I was really in a frenzy. Anyhow, I will write more about the applications I use on a daily basis in later posts. I will also give more insight into how people seem to be ending up with spyware invariably no matter what web browser their using. It's a real headache of a problem, especially when I see it happening all around me but not happening to me directly.

I have not posted a blog entry in a long time

I was just thinking about some things. The Pope totally died today, and that's ok I guess. I'm not at all religious, nor do I agree with Catholicism. Also, I think Jesus was a crazy crazy man, and not really the son of God. Immaculate conception doesn't hold up today, and it wouldn't hold up back then either. Anyhow, back to the Pope. I wonder how his last hours were. Did he lose faith in God? Was he able to think about such things as his faith, and question whether or not he would arrive in Heaven? If he did not believe in God or the afterlife, how would he feel knowing that he was pushing ideas he didn't even believe on so many followers around the world?

There have been a lot of famous deaths this week. This is a great week for Death! This has been my spring break too, and most of it has been moist. Not moist like a delicious cake, moist like uncomfortably wet outside.

I did not learn as much as I wanted to learn this week. However, I did learn and do some things. Above all, the most interesting part of the week was getting my bike working again and riding it; White Clay Creek State Park is right behind my house, and there are a lot of trails. I cold bruised my ass on the bike seat, and it hurts still. It is now Saturday. I have not gone biking the last couple days because of the wetness. The wetness on the ground.

Sometimes I think about people and things that may or may not exist, and wish they did. Mostly people. I know some good people, yes I do. Sometimes I wonder if there are other good people in the world aside from the relatively few that I know. Often times I assume that a good person is rare. I do question this though. Sometimes I think that I limit a person's potential goodness or quality if you will by being cold and focusing on things about them that I dislike. It is at once disheartening and inspiring to consider the old saying that everyone is the same on the inside, and has the same needs and whatnot. I often think of myself as more or less than most others, depending on the situation. More or less able to feel things, or understand things, or consider things. By being this rigid person who refuses to loosen up, and in some cases cannot do so, I probably limit the quality of my own interations with people. On the other hand though, when I see people interacting in a loose manner, I do not always feel comfortable picturing myself engaging in identical or similar activities. From this, I must wonder if that is what people like about me; if I altered this aspect of my being somehow, would this garner more positive or negative feelings from those around me? I feel like I do not have a firm grasp on others. I've said enough about this.

And now, onto current developments on the arts & entertainment side of things in my life:
I've been listening to the new Decemberists album a whole lot. It's very good, and I feel like every song is my favorite song. But of course that's not all I've been listening to. I heard some Nellie McKay songs that I enjoyed. I am very excited about the collaboration between Ghostface and MF Doom. Wow, that will be exciting. The new Prefuse 73 album is also a good time. Then of course there are staples that I love, and always play. I need to add something to my to do list. This thing I need to add is as follows: I must find something better than audioscrobbler that will show me my music listening statistics and habits. I am curious about such things. On the internet / computing front, nothing is really new around here. Xbox is an amazing piece of hardware that does pretty much everything. PS2 is still cool and Useff and I were discussing how Xbox games do not have the personality of PS2 / Gamecube games, but that is something we can save for another time.

I don't really need to preface this with a comment. (But by typing this, I did. Deep, right?)

Cartoon Rating Guide For The Smart Adult, V2.0

I did not write this.

Without further adieu,

Cartoon rating guide for the smart adult: v2.0, 3/31/2007



Why watch cartoons if you're an adult? Because cartoons have the best scores, most interesting plots and/or most humorous dialogue, and the best "cinematography" of any visual media. The best are stunning works of art and imagination.



This is a rating guide, not a review book -- hit up Google & Wikipedia, then Amazon and IMDB forums for extended analyses. Its purpose is to quickly alert you to animation you may never have heard of. It is also skewed from the perspective of an adult animation fan -- a lowly-rated show may be immensely enjoyable for small children and even competently-made, but was of little interest to me; a highly-rated show will be competently-made, and may or may not be enjoyable for or even marketed to small children. Lastly, if a show has English-language versions, those are the versions I have likely watched (and I appreciate good dubbing and loathe bad dubbing).



This list covers mainly animated television series, although many films are included. I have not seen every episode of some shows rated 7 and lower and many episodes of shows rated 5 or lower; indicated ratings may change if I see new episodes of better or worse quality than those previous, or if many better or worse episodes of other shows alter the landscape.



Anything rated at least "5" is in the category of "average show worth watching, provided you have time"; you probably won't watch re-runs, however. A typical "5" cartoon features arch-type characters and villains, with serviceable if unexceptional dialogue, animation and plots. "4"s and lower feature too much bad animation, one-dimensional characters, lousy voice-acting, plot-holes, dumbed-down or just plain stupid writing and spastic slapstick for this adult reviewer to stomach -- although kids will like many of them. "3"s and lower will have the smart adult scrambling for the remote. "6"s and "7"s feature more charismatic characters, more innovative drawing and intelligent scripting than average, and anything rated "8" or better is likely to pull you in to watching a re-run while you're channel-flipping, even if it's well-memorized already. Anything rated "9" is truly exceptional, and perfect in nearly every way. "10"s are reserved only for those shows which, IMO, will become or already are timeless classics. Highly-rated shows generally have unique and memorable musical scores associated with them. Make an effort to see every "9" and up before you croak, and most 7s and 8s.



- "3D" indicates a computer generated style as opposed to a 2D cel-painting.

- "adult" indicates overly lewd sexual references and/or foul language. Some adult-oriented cartoons are superlative witty parodies or taut thrillers; many are rancid, fast-buck trash.

- "cards" means the show is a marketing vehicle to sell trading cards; most of these involve children with strange monster pets or summoned creatures who fight each other.

- "comedy" describes humorous shows that are neither toons nor spoofs.

- "DCAU" refers to the "DC Animated Universe" created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini.

- "east" denotes an oriental-themed samurai or martial-arts cartoon.

- "family" indicates a show with very broad appeal; it isn't specifically written for any age group, and is neither "dumbed down" nor "sophisticated humor".

- "fantasy" indicates the presence of magic or "chi" and/or spirts, gods, demons, undead, fantastic animals, etc, but the setting is in an otherwise more or less realistic world.

- "Ghibli" indicates the acclaimed Japanese animation studio, or to anything prior involving its founders Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata.

- "girl" indicates the presence of important female protagonists.

- "kids" means the show is appealing to small children (whether or not dialogue is dumbed-down).

- "mecha" indicates giant robots.

- "movie" means a single, stand-along show, regardless of whether it played in theaters.

- "realistic" indicates real-world physics are observed, nobody has superpowers, and animated characters are essentially like real people and don't take inordinate risks, speak "one-liner dialogue" or "mug for the camera".

- "scary" means weird monsters may frighten very small children and give them nightmares, even if it's a comedy otherwise popular with kids. I afix this term only to shows marketed toward family or children's audiences (I take it for granted that teen- and adult-oriented shows are filled with imagery guaranteed to frighten toddlers, especially anything rated "violent").

- "series" means plots span multiple episodes and even seasons (so they are best watched in order); lack of this term doesn't mean, however, that all of a show's episodes are "stand-alones".

- "spoofs" parody cultural or other-show references which younger persons are less likely to be aware of; a kid's cartoon which is also a spoof is likely to drag up this reviewer's rating due to intelligent writing.

- "superhero" means some characters have extraordinary abilities or "mutant" powers which permit them to cheat real-world physics which others have to obey in an otherwise more or less real world. While many cartoons feature characters who trend in this direction, superheroes are invariably costumed protagonists who are (in)famous for their abilities.

- "toon" means real-world physics are expressly NOT observed, animals talk, characters have "three fingers & thumb" hands, gravity is defied until noticed, etc.

- "ultra-violent" shows so wallow in gore that many would consider them completely depraved.

- "violent" means there's realistic combat with injuries and blood, and/or on-screen death, and the show is usually inappropriate for small children (the lack of this term, however, doesn't mean that a show lacks fighting).

- "WMT" indicates Japan's "World Masterpiece Theater".
