When we are all playing around in our social networking sites are we sure we aren’t just building a huge network of spammers scammers and pedophiles? It really seems sometimes like the dark side might be winning the war for the internets.

OMG, I forgot stalkers, how could I forget stalkers?

The new Microsoft commercial with Seinfeld and Bill Gates is hilarious! I have noticed that Twitter is making my blog entries shorter. I think it’s shortening my attention span. Soon, I will be as distracted as a gen y. Ahh, it’s good to set goals for yourself.

I’m following a reporter live twittering the RNC. It’s like watching a Shakespeare by strobe light. Yes it sucks, but hey this is the future and everything stupid is in!

Today while the dentist was installing my new crown, I was trying very hard not to crack up. I was recalling the story of the Texas town that had two establishments in one building. The dentist was on the first floor and a brothel was on the second. And they say everyone came out with a smile!

My dad keeps bringing over things that I can’t use and giving them to me as gifts. It’s getting to be a real pain since I live in a small house that is already way too cluttered. Some examples: last fall he brought me two pumpkins, one about 50 pounds and one about 20 pounds. I don’t eat pumpkin! We cooked about 5 pounds of it and its still in the freezer. It took me most of a day to cut up the rest to throw in the compost. He brought me a BBQ grill, it took most of a day to put together, and now it sits unused cluttering up the porch… because I already have a grill! Two half gallons of ice cream, I don’t eat ice cream, and its a flavor the GF won’t touch. I threw one half gallon out and the other is still taking up space in the freezer. A flat panel computer monitor, I was already planning to buy new computers and it sits unused blocking the patio door. A dozen farm fresh eggs… I already had two dozen eggs in the fridge, there are only two people in the house and we don’t eat eggs! We only have eggs in the house for occasional baking. This week, 40 plums. I hate plums! And they aren’t ripe yet, so they threaten to be sitting filling up my fridge for a month. I really gotta tell him to stop because if the house keeps filling up with crap I’m gonna have to move. Meanwhile the neighbor keeps leaving all her extra cucumbers on our steps. They are piling up in the kitchen. What the hell do you do with cucumbers?

UPDATE: My dad came by just as I was writing the above. I asked him to find a home for the extra grill and he obliged. Yay!

The date is 8/29/08 and I am already feeling winters cold grip on my psyche. Last winter had me so depressed that I barely survived it. This year I’m already planning to have so many lights around me that I burn out my retinas. I will single handedly ensure that National Grid turns a profit (with only compact fluorescent bulbs of course). I also take lots of Omega 3 fish oil and eat fish which is supposed to help and have I also started to drop 5-HTP (a seratonin precursor) every chance I get. Another change I will make this year is to try to reduce the melatonin that I take during the winter. While it helps me sleep, it does have a reputation for leaving one slightly depressed in the mornings. And if that doesn’t work, I will call in sick on a Thursday and drive South till I feel better before turning around and going home to work on the Tuesday following. Winter, old man, bring it on!

McCain picked some no name from an oil barony to be his Veep when the US is facing huge energy and ecological crises. Wow what a mistake. She’s been labeled America’s hottest governor so I guess it makes sense if he’s trying to counter his old man image. Learn more:

Now these many months into the campaign season I know very well that Obama is for change… but McCain is…? against… change?
