Random Rambling
I don't remember if I had mentioned that I got a new computer. I got it at Xmas-time and it seems to be going good so far.
Knock on wood.
Knock on wood. I wonder where that comes from? I guess I could Google it.
There isn't much that can't be found with a Google search and a little bit of time. It is the preferred search engine for me. I like Yahoo, but it doesn't always come up with what I am looking for. MSN Live Search or whatever the hell it is called mostly sucks. The display is usually unusable. Google is nice and simple to navigate.At least the search part is. All that other Google shit sometimes becomes a bit tedious.
Then there are the other search engines out there that most people haven't even heard of. I can think of Alta Vista, does that still exist? Lemme check. Yeah, it does. And still looks like it sucks. Then there is Metacrawler and Lycos and Ask dot com. Those are just the ones that I can remember off the top of my head. I bet there are more, probably a whole bunch more. Not that it really matters. I am sure eventually they will go away, or just be echos of their former selves if they are not already.
It's funny. I guess you could say that I have been online for a while. Maybe a decade? Maybe less, I don't know. I know that there are things that have changed. Things are definitely more visual. With broadband speeds, video and audio are taking center stage.Photos and the written word just are not as important to convey the message. Let's face it, for most sites its a lot easier just to post a stupid video than having to come up with witty things to say. Just look at this one. I very rarely come up with anything witty to say.
Not that I care one way or the other. OK. I care. A little. Not much. Don't tell anyone. Or tell every one. I don't care.Don't you love circular arguments?
Pause
Took a little bit of a pause there. I had to go and do laundry, take out some garbage, eat, and play with myself. Well, I didn't play with myself but I could have! And I wouldn't even have had to pay for any porn. It is amazing how much free porn is online. It is almost impossible to avoid. Not that I do avoid it.
But honestly, porn is like tool. Unless I am going to use it for something I don't see the point in keeping it around. Don't get me wrong, boobies are great, but after awhile, I gets a little bored. Maybe bored isn't the right word. It's like when a famous person is in playboy. You take a look and check it out. Then its like, OK, now what? They nekkid, been there, seen that, let's see some boobies that I ain't seen before. Sad but true.
I guess Obama won South Carolina in the primary. Indiana has yet to be made offical. Some poeple are saying that Hillary ought to get out of the race. I don't know. I guess if you put in that much effort you are going to stay in it ot the end and if you can't win a chance to go for the big job you want to make sure that you at least come out better than you went in. Would Hillary take a job in Obama's White House? Or would she stay in the Senate and consolidate power there? I think she would stay in the Senate. I can't see Hillary being Vice President. It just doesn't fit. I think that Edwards might be Obama's Vice President. It might help balance the ticket. Let's see what happens. I don't think Hillery is getting the nomination though. I just don't see it right now. I can't see Obama giving up and with his mojo working I think he has the populace enthralled. But hey, McCain could still whip his ass when all those people get into the voting booth and think that they just ain't ready for President of the United States of America Barak Obama and all that that entails.
Check out the movie Iron Man. Good flick. I watched it online. Yeah, I know that it is still in the theater but the 'net is a whole big world and if someone sneaks a camera into a movie theater and takes a pretty good video of the movie and then it is posted on the internet... Is is wrong of me to watch it? I mean, can you consider it piracy if I don't pay anything for it? It's not like I bought a DVD on the street. I think that links directly into piracy because you are paying for a product. I just clicked a link. I wouldn't pay for something like that not because I am scared of the law, I just don't pay if it isn't quality. If I am going to pay for a movie I want to see it on the big screen or have a DVD with all the bells and whistles.
But not Blu-ray. I am not upgrading my DVD player until I have to. The same goes with my TV. Fuck HDTV. If I want to see a fucking image of a blade of grass that looks like a real blade of grass I will go outside and look at a fucking blade of grass. I don't think it matters how good the picture looks if what is on the screen is still the same old boring shit that was there before. Besides, I don't feel like buying Star Wars yet again.
That's it for now. Laterzzz...
