I happened to have the space channel on for a while, and I noticed a disturbing trend. I saw comercials in the same order. One for new skin bandages, one for Compound W, and one for sleep medications. Also in heavier concentrations than I’ve ever seen before were commercials for fast food, skittles, and computers. …

Am I in the bizarro world?
Something weird happened to me, but it seems I say that a lot on here. The phone rang, it was a weird number, but since I got a cool deal from Bell by answering a weird number, I figured what the hell. So I pick up and some woman is on the phone asking if …
God I feel boring
I feel bad about not coming up with anything to say for the last few days, but they’ve been pretty mundane and I didn’t see anything that screamed at me, so I didn’t just want to drivel on about nothing. But having to do what I’ve just finished doing made me realize how boring I …
Twisted Appreciation
I had something weird happen to me the other day, because weird things always happen to me. I was out with a bunch of people, and we were just talking. And one of them asked me if I had been blind all my life, the usual questions. I said yes. Then the person whips out …
Graduation Day
Well, graduation day came and went, and I can’t believe how weird this one was. Leading up to it, I thought, “Well I’ve had graduations before, and they were sort of special. At the very most, this one will be just as special.” But I was expecting it to be very insignificant because first, there’s …

Hi
Hey everybody. Just popping in to let you know that I’m still alive. Sorry about the lack of posting over the last few days, but there’s only 1 of us around right now and I haven’t been very interesting this week. Nothing funny or thought provoking has happened to me over the last few days …
Green Day
Last night I went and saw Green Day in concert, and wow, that’s all I can say. They put on an absolutely fantastic show. The set was a really well put together mix of new and old and even though a couple of albums weren’t as well represented as others, I have no complaints. Everything …
Sticks and Stones…
You know the old saying, “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names, or words, will never hurt me?” If that’s true, then why is there all this political correctness bullshit? It’s always bothered me, because it doesn’t solve anything. Let’s think about this. Back in the old days, the actual technical terms, with …
