The problem, my problem, is that I've become a cynic. I never used to be so cynical. I used to believe in... the capacity of human beings, at least, even if I never believed in magic or religion or anything, I believed in people, which is probably more out-there.

That's why I can't sleep.
Read some Asimov or something. That always knocks me right the fuck out.
Or maybe you could walk away from a book like Time Enough for Love with the idea that people aren't real great, but humanity is pretty wicked.

There's no point believing in people. People are fundamentally bastards. I should know since my soul is the concentrated essence of many people. I'm a fundamentally fundamental bastard at a fundamental level.

Ah, I can't find any of my books in this shithole. I think we used to have some Asimov though. Foundation series or something?
Humanity's wickedness is exactly my concern. I dunno, maybe I'm just growing up. maybe I'm supposed to be like this. Maybe it's all... part of the plan.

Also, the Paint The Line comics ended too quickly and were a bit disjointed. They should have made it a fully fledged spin off somehow. That would have pleased me greatly.

@Puck: Yeah well 175 ain't gonna cut it, since my fighting weight would probably be 140 or 145.
Well, if I was going to go UFC I'd probably cut to 185. Right now I'm fatter than I've ever been at 230. If I hit the weights hard I might be able to fight at 205 but I'd need to work out like a madman. I pulled a hamstring on a 315 deadlift so I ain't no monster.

I don't know. I've gone from intense stabbing unilateral pain to intense dull bilateral pain plus fever and nausea so I suspect I've graduated from stone to infection.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

hey, someone here might know this.
if I've attended two college and am applying to a third, do I need to send my official transcripts from both schools, or just the most recent? I check and the more recent school notes on the transcript what was carried over from the first school, so it seems redundant.
I'll have to call tomorrow if there's not a definite answer, and I imagine it's possible that it is a case by case thing, but it's worth asking.

I'm spending so much time here that I'm going to have to fix my text editor's syntax styling so that it matches here.
Que?
My text editor has got very complete syntax highlighting, so I can fiddle with the styling for the file display.
I'm spending a lot more time on PA than usual, so my eyes get really used to the light-on-dark CSS. My text editor's default is dark-on-light and my eyes tend to hurt if I spend a lot of time on PA, then switch to the editor.
I've had to darken most of the OS UI as well. Easier on the eye.

Also, as a result of all this time I spend in places using light-on-dark styling, I now hate Google's uber-clean CSS. My eyes! Have to keep turning down my screen brightness... <_<

Bleh. Same as the last few days.

Not as far as I know. But this sounds like a much better idea.
You know, I knew that was going to happen, but I still have this intense, sudden urge to waterboard Bush.
Oh, the stone hasn't passed yet? Christ, dude. Trust me, I feel (have felt) your pain.
my plan was to unite the country to make 1,000,000s of phone calls every day just saying "fuck george bush". give them something to think about.
Every day sucks. Each one more than the last. I blame congress as well.
Anyways, what's new people?

That's a stupid fucking question, Harry.

It always sucks not to be rich.
Dammit, I want to buy the apartment for sale across the road from work. The lifestyle of not having to drive to work everyday would be awesome.
Gnight folks.

Why not send both? Couldn't hurt.
Feel better.
