Current thoughts #1

So... on one side of the world we have people playing pirates in the most literal sense, quite so that there isn't any playing around involved, at least, none that I've heard of. Just goes to show that we're not quite to the road warrior stance over shit in the developed world as of yet... good news too, means there's some hope out there.

Then, you've got a bunch of asshats lined up for the release of the new blackberry cellphone whatever... what can I say, at least they're moving the economy along on some level or another, way to go super geeks!

There's a big uproar about some kids online suicide, like it was the first time this sort of thing has happened... the video is the only thing that's making this an issue from where I'm sitting. Sadly, this sort of thing has happened before & even more sadly, it will likely happen again.

I hope Al Franken gets into office... because he's good enough & he's smart enough & gosh dangit, people like him... besides the locals & the obsessive, who's even heard of that other guy?

Then we've got Verizon workers getting fired over a breach on Obama's cellphone or some shit.. which, is a load of crap... it's an issue when a person does it to the government, but when the government does it to a bunch of people, well, that's fine & dandy... fuck that, cheers to the guy who got canned, I'll smoke'em a blunt or buy'em a beer if I happen to run into guy somewhere & it gets brought up.

Craziest of all... people are floating around in space, working on some crazy shit & that's well beyond what most of us are up to trying. Give it up for the astronauts... they stuck with it, they did what everybody wanted to do, they're up there living the life, making the dream happen.

Somebody just shot up the local mall earlier today, known as "South Center"... it's in Tukwila Washington. Two hit, one killed, the other critical... sounds like it was either some personal drama between the parties involved, or something gang related. Very specific for such a public place... & what's strange, "was last seen running through the mall, wearing a one-piece black outfit with red piping," said Mike Murphy of the Tukwila police.

Fuck Texas. I had to get drunk to enjoy myself in that state & I've never liked the whole "Don't mess with ____" type of attitude... you say some stupid shit like that & what's the first thing somebody does? They go & mess with it... keep in mind, this is the place where they killed Kennedy... & really, for all I care, Mexico can take it back any time now.

I hate math... I know it can be incredibly useful, but I just don't like it, never have, probably never will. There's just a certain level where, when you've learned how to multiply, divide, subtract, add & average... you can balance your check book & there isn't much left for you to do if you're not trying to go into applied sciences.

I want to go play video games... I'm going to go play video games.
