why not me?

I’m disturbed. More so than even Sara will tell you. I have been the modern internet. I have been through every trend and every type, before any of them became fashionable. I IRCaddicted and romanced. I cracked and pirated. I telneted to online music shops before CDnow was a nightmare Continue Reading

DC is a planned city

You know..Ierjk .,, ,xc, ,, .,c , . sorry… sneeze. I was saying… I have a hard time taking pictures in this city. A small part of it is no doubt that it is hard to find anything interesting in the familiar. But the more looming problem is the lack Continue Reading

He will get me killed.

You kind of get sick of the helicopcopters here. One reason or another, they’re always overhead. But sometimes the definition of overhead gets a bit ridiculous. Last night there was something, presumably a helicopter, hovering at roof level somewhere in the neighborhood. Quite a few neighbors were at their windows Continue Reading

I disturb myself sometimes.

Disturbing. I disturb myself sometimes. When I heard reports about the Supreme Court’s rulings involving schools a couple weeks ago, I don’t like how I reacted. I did manage to ignore the obsession people seemed to have with the more religious of the two. Timed to coincide with the Pledge Continue Reading

Man… it hasn’t even been

Man… it hasn’t even been 24 hours since I read the first article on how Universal and Sony will start selling unprotected digital music online. And already the walls are shaking, and cracks are appearing. I just finished a suspiciously timely article about how when Disney broke ranks with the Continue Reading

Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Money. Does anyone else think the Shrub is on a spending spree with someone else’s credit card? I’ve seen him do nothing but Continue Reading

"This weekend, in a luxury hotel outside Washington, D.C.," said the announcer, "Europe’s secret rulers are meeting their American counterparts %uFFD0 or that’s what some people believe. Today is the start of the annual gathering of the Bilderberg group. Never heard of it? That’s the whole point. It’s officially described Continue Reading

Shock Me Shockwave

This is just fuckin’ disturbing. Maybe I’m slow and I missed something everyone else knew long ago. But in playing around with a flash presentation on the Post web site, and went into the flash document settings. I’m sure it’s intended to be a legitimat feature, but the window that Continue Reading

the sun rising over a carribean rainforest

Wait… you’re telling me that Robert Blake is still alive? Frankly, Tony WIlliams can stick his party animals where the soft money doesn’t flow. Enron is dead — hand me a shovel. AOL is deathly ill — hand me a garrotte. Trains, planes, the Shrub, and the Catholic Church are Continue Reading

a plain white van

I thought when I heard the first motorcade pass my apartment, that it was the start of a long weekend. These meetings always bring in hundreds of diplomats and VIPs, roveing around town in their limos. But this time… nothing. One motorcade and that was it. Until the same thing Continue Reading

How not to be my friend.

A note to all salespeople, on how not to be my friend. When you come in to my job trying to sell us new telecommunication service, I will very likely not be interested, since I have sat through too many of those presentations, and been screwed over by too many Continue Reading

bigger men

This is a time for bigger men. Without bigger men, there will be no final outcome from this conflict in the Middle East. Say the US sticks to it’s standard of supporting Isreal no matter what. What if every Western nation supported Isreal. It wouldn’t take much of an effort Continue Reading

Colin Powell

Colin Powell is in Isreal and Palestein, again trying to broker a peace between the Jews and Arab Palestinians. And every one laughs. No one believes it will help any more. They look at the situation and see it utterly hopeless. I am looking at the man, and think he Continue Reading

freedom

There is a beautiful idea taught in classrooms across the country that the founding leaders of this country where men who believed in equality for all, and that every man was your brother. It’s very pretty. And very wrong. The government, as it was set up then, very much protected Continue Reading

Could you just bend over little more?

Hot Air You’ve got to hand it to the Shrub. He must have balls the size of watermelons. It would take at least that much to make thse demands. First he officially withdraws the United States from the Kyoto Protocals; the first major environmental treaty agreed upon by every major Continue Reading

School called on account of ignorance

Schools Shy Away From Washington Field Trips Boneheads. Fuckin’ Boneheads. I am so utterly and inccredibly sick of the ignorant speech and actions of people in relation to Washington DC. I’d be surprised to hear anyone anymore mention the Pentagon when discussing the September 11 th attacks. I can only Continue Reading

I can just see tommorrow’s headline: “Scriptkiddie found with computer parts sticking out of every body orafice.” No, this isn’t the hacker I’m upset with. Just another wannabe.
