Sage Advice for the new Mac owner
Here’s my list of thoughts/advice/suggestions for new Mac switchers. Not all of it may apply to you personally but humour a brotha and read it anyway: 1. Follow Apple’s intentions until you find a genuine good reason not to. For example, when you get your Mac you’ll notice some folders have already been set up, like Movies, Pictures, Documents etc. That’s where those sorts...

Newer Mobile Devices Consume More Data
Long post, but please bear with me if you have or are considering getting a smartphone or have anyone close who does… EDIT: While I’m personally referencing AT&T’s plans, it applies across other carriers as well, specifically, Verizon says it will go to tiered data....

Not all Conservatives are religious
The conservative contradiction: Not all conservatives have a direct line to God, and they don’t want one, either

By Heather Mac Donald
Upon leaving office in November 2004, Attorney General John Ashcroft thanked his staff for keeping the country safe since 9/11. But the real credit, he added, belonged to God. Ultimately, it was God’s solicitude for America that...

Atlas Shrugged
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live.
One is that a man doesn’t want people to know he’s rich. Another is that he doesn’t want them...

A perspective on Health Care.
If you wonder what it will be like once the government’s “public option” health care reforms go into effect, all you need do is visit your local social security office, DMV, or DHR.
Everyone is NOT created equal. People don’t have equal needs, wants, or desires. People require different levels of interaction and personalization.

Bought a Futon off Craigslist. Beats sleeping on the couch since the breakup. It’s not horrible, but I miss the softness of the matress…and the warmth of another body next to me.
Is it wrong that I prefer this cover to the...
Ten Years from Now
Ten years from now When I turn around Will I be satisfied When I look back on life Don’t tell me it’s too late Don’t tell me that I threw it all away Don’t tell me that I did this all in vain I have my reasons Why I walk this lonely road And I never return Was it worth the life of sacrifice Ten years from now When she looks at me (She sees right through me now) All that...

Single
So…we broke up because she’s not happy. Ah, the joys of a Bi-Polar girlfriend.
Looks like I’m single again…but we still live together.
Fun fun fun…
How pickles demonstrate Wal~Mart's business...
A gallon-sized jar of whole pickles is something to behold. The jar is the size of a small aquarium. The fat green pickles, floating in swampy juice, look reptilian, their shapes exaggerated by the glass. It weighs 12 pounds, too big to carry with one hand. The gallon jar of pickles is a display of abundance and excess; it is entrancing, and also vaguely unsettling. This is the product that...
Women don't want "nice guys"
I’m kinda getting sick of seeing this shit about women wanting “nice guys.” Women don’t want nice guys. They think they do, but I submit to you that they don’t.
Women say they want the “Nice Guy.” But unfortunatly, the “Nice Guy” is not the man of your dreams; he’s the doof you think is your friend, that puts up with your shit and...
Chasing the Tail of Dogma...
Dreaming of that face again. It’s bright and blue and shimmering. Grinning wide And comforting me with it’s three warm and wild eyes. On my back and tumbling Down that hole and back again Rising up And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye. In… Out… In… Out… In… Out… A child’s rhyme stuck in my head. It said that life is but a dream....
Rambling
Sorry if bored anyone with my posting the desktops. I was really proud of myself. They don’t just look like mac osx, the docks work the same, too. It’s pretty tedious to load all those custom icons.
Anywho, I’m done…
For tonight anyway.
The Harvest -Amy Hempel
The year I began to say vahz instead of vase, a man I barely knew nearly accidentally killed me.
The man was not hurt when the other car hit ours. The man I had known for one week held me in the street in a way that meant I couldn’t see my legs. I remember knowing that I shouldn’t look, and knowing that I would look if it wasn’t that I couldn’t.
My blood was on the front...
