Random Thoughts
Be Afraid!
Hello, since you are no doubt using the Internet to get to this page, you are well aware of the fact that the Internet can be very annoying at times. One of the most annoying parts of the Internet is: Broken links. You have no doubt run into a few of these before... you know... the links to the places you want to go to, but take you to a screen that says "FILE NOT FOUND" now that is annoying. Another annoying thing is: Worthless web pages. Again, you have no doubt run into one of these before... they are almost always titled "WORTHLESS STUFF PAGE" or something like that. These pages contain things that no normal human cares about. On these pages, people talk about their computers and compare their pets to weird things like wallpaper, asphalt, and dragons. These "WORTHLESS STUFF PAGES" are a real waste of bandwidth, which leads us into our next issue: Slowness. Yeah you know your Internet is slow, and unless you have a direct Internet connection, it will always be slow. This is because people make it slow by wasting bandwidth by making a page that has no REAL purpose, and NO ONE would ever visit... these pages can't even bee seen unless you 1) accidentally run into it, or, 2) the LAMEOID who made it tells you the URL (internet address) another annoying thing is SPAM (no, not the mass un-wanted e-mail you get) but the MEAT, I have seen about a ZILLION links to something like http://www.spam.com, or http://www.spamisnutritiousanddelicious.org for crying out loud here people, SPAM TASTES LIKE DOG FOOD!!! BELIEVE ME, I KNOW!!! Yet another annoying thing about the Internet is "GeoCities". Only 1 in 1000 people don't have their website here, which also means that GeoCities is WORTHLESS STUFF PAGE capitol of the world... don't believe me? Just go through each page in their index... no wait... don't do that... you might go blind or something. Yet another thing is Applets (no, not the oh-so-tasty bits of apple in an apple pie... mmm pie...) little things that every browser is forced to make use of, and slow down your computer more that you could ever imagine. More importantly, they are annoying. Another annoying thing is maintaining this time trap of a page, but my friends, THE most annoying thing about the Internet is THIS PAGE!!! As you can see, the internet can be very annoying... sorta makes you wanna bash it with a spoon or frozen fish or something, but since it's all electrical impulses, there isn't much you can do to it. Good day.
Yes, I know that when you saw this, you just felt you had to
read it! I even be you thought to yourself "MAN BYAKHEE00
FINALY GOT AROUND TO MAKING AN ARTIFICIAL INTELEGENCE" well
I'd hate to shatter your idea, but HAL was an accident... anyway
HAL is my laptop. He is a Macintosh PowerBook 165 (B&W screen)
and older than dirt! He often does "odd" things... like
talking to me when I am all alone. Yes I figure, since he is a
laptop I should get him out, and let him meet people. So far, he
has met a lot of people the two main people HAL has met are Nick,
and Scott. HAL likes to talk with these two people, and finds
them very interesting. HAL is unable to comprehend A carbon-based
life form, and is totally intrigued by them. HAL does strange and
wonderful things for his "users" like making stupid
programs that are full of bugs. Recently, HAL has been having
problems with his cold fusion reactor. Since HAL doesn't have
hands, I have to fix everything for him. HAL likes me a lot, and
I like HAL. He is one of my best friends, especially when he lets
me type my articles for my page!
***UPDATE*** since the writing of
this random thought, HAL9000 has met his untimely demise with a
flight of stairs. We all feel the loss of not only a laptop, but
a true friend. We will all miss your presence, HAL9000.
Hello Again, I'm here today to discuss the distinct relation between my dog "Tuffy" a chocolate lab, and, a dragon. First off both have deadly breath. I mean everyone knows about "dog breath" and the things it can do to people. Secondly, both Tuffy and a dragon have tails. These tails are very long and can injure people. Thirdly, big sharp teeth. Fourthly, Large claws. Fifthly, both Tuffy and a dragon will bite/eat people if they get the chance. Sixthly, Tuffy and dragons horde things they deem valuable. Seventhly, Both Tuffy, and dragons are very large. As a result of this I must concur that Tuffy is not a dog, but a dragon... a big furry dragon. Good Night!
Hi, it's me again, and I'm here to discuss another thing that is bothering me. The Chatroom Psycho, or TCP is a disorder where a person, upon entering a chatroom becomes very mean, rude, and obnoxious. It's almost like they get possessed. Sure you may even know one of these people. They may be just fine when you meet them outside the chatroom i.e. in school, on the street, in a dark alley, etc. but once they get into the chatroom: KABLAAMMMOOOO, they are someone different! These people are the biggest jerks on the Internet, and often have a web page dedicated to a) things they hate, b) Illegal stuff, c) porn, d) music that everyone else hates. These are the people who are often kicked off of organized chatrooms (BBS, AOL, etc.) I’m sure that you can think of at least 5 people who fit this description. I believe that TCP may be as a result of the person thinking that they are not talking with real people with real feelings. Sure, they may not say this, but for them, a person does not exist if they can't put a name (or online name) with a face. In conclusion, try to reason with these people, but if they start making you angry, just leave. No one wants to go into a chatroom and see an argument. If you know or think you have TCP try to not be so damn mean, rude, and obnoxious. You can start by taking down your web page and putting up one that deals with something less offensive. Once you've done that, read a chatroom etiquette thingies. They are on almost every site where there is a chatroom. They discuss appropriate behavior while in a chatroom. Thank you for your time.
Anime, for those of you who don't know, is Japanese Animation. In fact, anime is Japanese for animation. Now you're probably thinking, "what's so good about Japanese cartoons? And why do they rule?" well I'm here to answer your question. Anime is not like any cartoon we have here in America. Anime features more in-depth drawings, better characters, plots, and genres, all on a fairly low budget. The main difference is the fact that most parents would probably have HEART ATTACKS if they saw their 4-year-old watching anime. Anime features violence with blood, gore, pieces of brain, hearts ripped out, etc. and nudity. Although these are some big draws for many, Anime also features intricate plots involving characters in life and death conflicts, emotional development, new friendships/enemies, symbolism, humor, romance and in general adult situations. More often than not, the main character is not 100 percent good, nor is the main antagonist 100 percent evil. Each character has their own personality, unique from any other character. "The good guys" do make mistakes that may make them seem cruel, if not evil (like letting someone, whom they can help, die) and "the bad guys" will occasionally do something kind, if not good (like saving a small child from being hit by a car). In anime, not all the main characters live through the movie/show. Likewise the villains may succeed in their evil plot, and never get caught! In conclusion, anime is not for little kids. It is basically adult cartoons, that would probably not be much fun for a child. If you can handle adult situations in an entirely new type of entertainment, I highly suggest viewing anime. Try "Vampire Hunter D" (I think it gives you a good feel for what anime in general tends to be like. it's different from anything you've ever seen). If you enjoy it, I suggest: "Ninja Scroll", "The Venus Wars", "Akira", "Golgo13" and others. I will admit, you might be offended by some (i.e. "countdown", "wicked city", etc.) but then again, you might like what anime has to offer. And my friends, that is why ANIME RULES.
Hey again, today I’m gonna share my experience with the "freaky people." Who are they you ask, well, I’ll tell you. They are the weirdoes who are on REALLY late on the Internet. Not all the people on the internet at 3:00 am are "freaky people" most are hard working shareware programmers, web page designers, hard core gamers, warez downloaders, and insomniacs. Then there are the "freaky people" these people make me worry. Sure, they may seem "normal" when they first start talking to you, but then the next thing you know, wham, you're being asked all sorts of weird and personal questions. That, and being solictated for cybersex. Don’t these "freaky people" have anything better to do than bug me? The answer is: apparently not. I mean i fall into all of the legitimate uses of the Internet at 3am, so why can't these people leave me alone? Who knows? It seems all they want is basically one thing: Cybersex. Personally i think it's really stupid and dumb. On more than one occasion i have considered programming a CSTV. What is a CSTV you ask, well, gather around in a circle on the floor kiddies, and I’ll tell you. a CSTV is a CyberSexualy Transmitted Virus. Sure, computer viruses suck a lot, but don't these lamers who annoy me late at night deserve to be punished? I say that some good programmers get together and devise a "cybersex" program that "simulates" real sex. The more people you cyber with, the greater your chances of getting a CSTV are. Then all the cybersexfreakypeople can go have their little online orgy, and leave my WCP and me alone. Well, that'll never happen, and I’d rather program games. So i guess I’ll have to put up with the freaky people for now. Oh well. But let this serve as a reminder. If you are a "freaky person" don't even think of e-mailing me, or IMing me, because you will quickly find your way to a block list and/or e-mail spam filter. The second type of "freaky people" are those who i swear to god are either 1) on acid or 2) in need of some psychological help... sometimes both. These are the people who think that they are making sense to me, but really aren't. All in all, freaky people always tend to have 4000 different screen names so you'll be blocking names all night. Not how i like to spend my late nights on the Internet. Oh well. Maybe you freaky people should find each other, and leave me alone. HINT HINT!
Random Chance, or Something Really Weird?
Hi, for those of you who don't know, i just got a (OLD) new
car =D yay! It’s a piece of junk, but oh well. Anyway, this
is (sorta) weird. Any of you who have ever bought a new car know
of all that crap that you have to go through to get it so that
you can (legally) drive it. Things like registration at the DMV
and the whole insurance mess. Anyway, back to the story. There I
am, standing at the DMV, waiting to retrieve my license plates
for my (OLD) new car, and they finally hand them to me, i flip
over the little brown package that they come it, and look at the
license tag, to make sure it's not something stupid like AKA-666
(which i DID see one time, I'm not making that up) anyway, i flip
it over and the letters of the plate catches my eye. Those
letters are NONE OTHER than WCP! It’s the abbreviation for
Worthless Crap Page! I about sh** my pants! Seriously, I’m
not making this up! So anyway, i got to thinking... does the
Wisconsin DMV know of this web page, and there is some freaky
weird thing that made them give me the plates with a direct
reference to the WCP? Who knows? It may be random chance, but
look at the odds... pretty slim right? RIGHT! So, let's say i
play the odds... they aren't in my favor, that's for sure. Now,
back to the conspiracy thing. It’s entirely possible, with
the government and all that technology and stuff they've got...
who knows... I wish someone would tell me.
***UPDATE***
My piece of crap car died LESS THAN a week after buying it. Not
really related, but who cares?
Poop on a Stick! My Horoscope Sucks Again!
DAMNIT! My horoscope sucks again! Oh well, that’s nothing unusual. The damn thing lies all the time. I have yet to move up in my job, I haven’t made any more money AND I haven’t found love. I’ve got one thing to say to you horoscope person: YOU SUCK! YOU ARE SO DAMN INACCURATE! If I was gonna write those things, they’d at least be somewhat true. For example: LIBRA –YOU WILL DIE SOME TIME! Nope, ya can’t argue with that one. Just try... unless you're the Highlander... but even then... I think I’m psychic. No, not PSYCHO as many of you have been led to believe. No seriously, I’ve had those “moments” where I know things… for example: I’m talking to some person online, who I had never met in the thing called “IRL” or “Real Life”, I’m not quite sure what that is, but I’ll go on. Anyway, I mention that they used to know my friends and me by name at baker’s square, because we would go there every weekend and get pie. And I said to myself “Self, wouldn’t it be weird if this person worked at baker’s square?” and sure enough, the person said to me “I used to work at baker’s square” of course, it was at a different place in an entirely different state, but still. It’s kinda weird when you think about it, but thinking hurts, so I try to avoid it whenever possible. I think I'm gonna go and get some pie now.
