THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND PURCHASING A CAT Question #1: Is there an emotional void in my life, one which cannot be filled with consumer electronics, frequent trips to the mall, and narcotics? Yes.
Question #2: Does my apartment / dorm / house / cave / religious compound allow us to own dogs? No.
Question #3: Are birds, fish, and hamsters completely gay? Yes.
Question #4: If I buy a pet snake or spider, will my neighbors think I'm a sexual predator? Yes.
Question #5: Has the liberal, Jewish, feline media sufficiently brainwashed me into believing cat ownership can be a fun, rewarding, enjoyable experience, much like voting democrat and burning flags inside Christian churches? Yes. Cats: for when there are no other viable options! Read the Article

work is very boring... Today is one of those days.
Of course this isn't from a lack of things to do so much as from a lack of doing them but... Bleagh! |

| another day... |

yup, that's it.... just another day... Bleah... |

[Aug. 24th, 2005|06:01 pm] |
Then again, I think I can blame my low scores on the lack of "all of the above" answers, and the fact that I was too distracted by the poor grammer, and by trying to figure out the scoring system. Ah well...
Modern, Cool Nerd
73 % Nerd, 78% Geek, 47% Dork |
For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being
smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or
subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social
expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of:
Modern, Cool Nerd.
Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used
to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a
pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world
that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and
geeky have eeked out for themselves a modicrum of respect at the very
least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent,
knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing
computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one
you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one
up there, winning the million bucks)!
Congratulations! | | |
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 82% on nerdiness | | You scored higher than 97% on geekosity | | You scored higher than 83% on dork points |

Randomly searching for things on Google in hopes that you can possibly, maybe, hopefully, but probably not find anything, _anything_, interesting on the web anymore.

| what do Monday and thirteen have in common? |
[Dec. 13th, 2004|07:05 pm] |
They are both supposed to, and pretty much do I guess, Suck. Thank GOD for double negatives, instead of multipliers. Inspite of it being Monday the 13th, I still managed to have a decent day, only hindered by the fact that I still had to go to work. bleah...
Found this band called, Kings of Convenience, somewhere while I was floating around the net, thought I would share. The music is fairly mellow, but I like it, makes me want to stare out a window at the rain. Give 'em a listen. I also found a group that does german gangsta rap, called Bushido. Makes me laugh, if you can find them it's worth it for the comedy if nothing else.
back to work. |

When you see this, post a favorite poem in your journal.
JABBERWOCKY
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
- Lewis Carroll
(from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)

Have you ever had one of those days? You know, where you Really want to go out and DO something, but there is absolutely Nothing that you want to do, when you want nothing more than to curl up in a corner/by the fireplace with a good book and a cup of Hot Coco, but you don't want to read, the fire is too hot, and you'd much rather have coffee or juice or milk or beer or really Anything else... I'm sure you have, I have... What do you do with yourself when your Whole day is one big Contradiction? You really want to do something, but it's the Last thing you want to do. And even worse, what happens if this comes upon you at work? I don't know... Sorry, I wish I could help you all out here, I know you thought there'd be a point to this, at least an answer of some sort, but there isn't... I just don't know what to do.
I have a lot on my mind of late (read "always"), and I thought "maybe I should talk to someone about it all.", then I realized I was at work, so I thought "Maybe I will just write a huge long LJ post and spill it all, bare my soul to the World"... Unfortunately for all of you I very Quickly realized that that was horribly out of character, and thus it won't be happening. But it did spawn this post anyway, I wanted to talk to someone but I didn't want to SAY anything. I didn't want to share anything even vaguely personal, (which is pretty much modus operandi for me anyway, ever the quiet one, or the guy that talks a lot about nothing). Oh well... such is life I guess.
I was also going to make an attempt to at least keep on writing just because, but I am now realizing that I just don't want to... Meh.
My brother called me today, said he couldn't get online with his laptop on the home network, so I helped him out, of course. I figured it would be easy, went through ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, at Least three times, multiple reboots, gobs of configuration changes, and reverts, and changes, and... Three Hours later, it works. The Total Net result is that NOTHING WAS DIFFERENT, everything was configured exactly how it was when we started. The only differece, now it works.... I don't get it, Computers suck..... But this really set the tone for the rest of the day, it's been one long, redundant, contradictory, comedy of errors. ("Here's your sign!").
Ah well, I think it's time to act like I work here. Huzzah for Surrealism in the workplace..... |

I was talking with a couple of my friends the other night, and someone posed an interesting question. I will paraphrase here because I don't remember the exact wording; "Are people that always have bad thoughts but supress them and try to do good good people? or not? and vice versa, people that have good thoughts, but act badly. are they bad people?"
At face value it's a fairly easy question to answer. If you have good intentions you are a good person, and if you have bad intentions then you are a bad person. But what if your good intentions always come out wrong, and end up in bad situations where people get hurt. Are you still a good person because you mean well, or are you a bad person? If you always have evil, bad thoughts but never act on them, as long as what you do is good, then you are good. right? Or are you a bad person because you have bad thoughts? I think that as long as the end result is good, then you are good, but if the end result always turns out badly, then you might just be a good person who has something to learn. Try going about things in a different way. On the other hand if your intentions are evil you are automatically pegged as a bad person, because you aren't even trying.
I was gonna go further with this, but I seem to have lost my steam, and it just didn't come out how I envisioned, so I will leave it open.
Just a little food for thought. |
