So with swimsuit season halfway through, my Feed is naturally riddled with beach sightings of all things unseemly. I peruse through the “Uploaded via Mobile” galleries of ickness, appropriately labeled as such. Though something about the fatness is bugging me... I am somewhat perturbed by the relatively fit (and often ugly) individuals I’ve recently collected* on my Facebook page expressing their hate for the “gross fat slobs” that are... everywhere. Can’t hate the black people, the gay people, the Jews, the Arabs... but hating on someone that is non-aesthetically pleasing is fine? What else would you expect from a society so hinged on image partaking in a lifestyle set up for obesity?I mean... seriously?
The morbidly obese aside... I think I’m a bit jealous of the regular fat people though... read more »

To continue my phone saga... As the iPhone 4 was not a viable option due to shipping (and I needed a phone right then and there)... I decided to go with the HTC Aria. A Linux-based iPhone counterpart which seems a superior product based on it’s spec sheet and the mere idea of Facebook integration. I predict the mac to not-mac switch will be somewhat painful excruciating, but decided that it was time to make some changes and I might as well start with my phone. Anyway, you never know the best option until you’ve at least tried a few.... and I’ve been a fairly devout iPhone user since the day after the original hit the store, so why the hell not. Also...
- My tech-savy almost-brother said it “shits on the iPhone”.
- It’s lighter than the iPhone. Relevant because though gravity is a constant, a smaller mass will result in a smaller force with which it will hit the ground when I drop it... theoretically reducing potential breakage (assuming similar cost-efficient engineering)... a concept read more »

So after my 6th iPhone (with an already nasty crack in the screen) took an unfortunate tumble out of my gym locker (which rendered the touch screen partially inoperative), I was yet again facing the nightmare of purchasing a new phone. Fortunately the touch screen somewhat functioned for another day or two before chipping into pieces and outright declaring defeat. Fifteen minutes later I stormed into an AT&T store and exclaimed that I needed a phone... Immediately. “One that could withstand that” I asserted, as I threw the remainder of my iPhone at the salesperson’s feet (Fat Guy). The gentleman said he had just the thing, as he detached two phones (cased in something that could pass for Military-issue) from his belt clip and forcefully threw them both on the ground. The salesperson next to him (Clueless Guy) decided to join in and threw his on the floor as well. A few others approached, but were hesitant to join in. After receiving a lecture on the importance of a “protective case”¹... my shopping experience commenced. read more »

Anything you post can and will be dug up by a prospective employer 5 years later and most definitely be used against you. Really. Might as well put it on your resume that there’s photos of your ass floating around the internet...

I reminisce of the stale crowd of New York Spots Club as I fight the urge to take a short nap on the second elliptical from the left wall... I admit, it is the one at the perfect angle from the mirror, strategically placed so as to allow me a full view of myself in the mirror in the event my eyes wander away from the textbook afore me¹. I am on this elliptical because the innumerable stress fractures (courtesy of treadmill, first from fountain) riddling my feet need to heal... Absolutely no idea why I choose to reminisce of such a dull moment, as I step/pedal away on a similar machine, years later, miles away. read more »

Thank you Shop Rite for installing a shopping cart dispensing contraption (à la airport) that is not credit-card-friendly. Not only are the groceries ridiculously priced, but now I gotta pay a quarter for a cart? Are you fucking kidding me? Will you be charging for parking next? For bags? (or do we already pay for bags? i gotta check my receipt) I have enough trouble finding a quarter every time I encounter a meter, now I need change to do my groceries? Un-fucking-acceptable!

So I wandered over into the system properties of my iMac one day and realized that the idiot who bought me this computer got me a beautiful 20 inch display with a pathetic amount of RAM (curious if he didn’t know better or thought I wouldn’t know better), which most definitely explains why it’s taking Illustrator a minute and a half to load when I accidentally click it in hopes of getting to my adjacently docked iTunes library.
A few clicks, a few bucks and a few days later, the solution to my desktop’s lethargic demeanor is in a box on my doorstep (courtesy of crucial.com). Some random memory-installation-guide (courtesy of Google) is telling me that the installation process is a single step: slide memory into the only available slot. Great! Upon initial examination of machine, I note that all that stands before me and a faster Mafia Wars experience are 2 damn screws. Piece of cake. Steve Jobs is the MAN!
...but before I go shopping for a Thank You card to send to my friends at Apple, I grab my tools and attempt to find an appropriately shaped thingie to open this thing up. read more »

To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II...
In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the United States of America and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up ‘revocation’ in the Oxford English Dictionary.)
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy). Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections. read more »

To add to my already ruined day (my dog murdered my vacuum cleaner), my computer keeps misbehaving. Now, it’s misbehaved before... but lately (perhaps because of the icky weather), it’s ten times as irritating. I think most people who have owned a Mac can agree, that at times the fuckers get pretty warm. I can’t keep my MacBook on my lap unless the ambient temperature is 40! My iMac has the same problem, except it gets really warm AND sporadically slips into sleep mode.... usually when I’m mid-hand in poker... or am making a crucial upload/download.... it just goes to sleep! Nighty fucking night!
After a few tries it comes out of slumber to work for 15 minutes and off to sleep.... Nighty fucking night
God help me if I shut down! Restart only happens after you’ve completely given up, and never on the first try.... Nighty fucking night!

This is probably the best thing I’ve found on MySpace in the however-many years I’ve been on there. This is from a recent speech by Bill Gates at Mt. Whitney High School in Visalia, California about the 11 things students will not learn in school. He talked about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world... maybe he did say this, maybe he didn’t... love him, hate him, he sure does hit the nail on the head though. Here’s some advice... read more »
