This Corrosion
  Rapid Wrath
10:45 pm
    --- I've been looking through the personal pages hosted on aloha.net, and there are many very talented people out there. Many pages with worthwhile content (like Kat's!) and pretty graphics (Dexter!). There are also a lot of commercial web pages. This is a violation of our very obvious and clearly explained no-commercial-webpages-in-personal-webspace policy. Now, I don't necessarily agree or disagree with this policy, but I know the reasoning behind it, and I'm getting ticked because these TOS-dodgers are calling me for help with their pages. I think that soon I shall take up the hammer of righteous webmaster wrath and smite the wrongdoers into millions of bytes (of free disk space). So, if you're one of those people, you should know that the hammer is falling soon. Clean up your act or get your account revoked.

    Every so often someone will put up a page of pornographic jpgs, and server load will go way way up until the webserver starts dropping connections, and we all get real confused for a little while, then remember what happened last time and start reading server logs to see who's getting 300,000 hits per day. (or was it per second? I forget. a lot.) Calling those people to explain things to them is always a little strange. "Hello sir..um...you know your web page? The one titled 'cum guzzling sluts'? We've taken it down. Er...have a nice day then, bye."

  Going of Age
    ---I submitted my vacation request form today. If it goes through, I get to leave work on June 20th and come back July 4th or something like that. Hmmm. Isn't July 4th a holiday? Something else happens around then. Oh. Ah yeah, I turn 21 on June 2nd. That's like the official prime of life or something, isn't it? Ehm. Well, maybe not, but I feel like I should know more, be more, have accomplished something already.

    Actually, I think I've figured out a few things about life. I might be wrong about them, sure, but at now I have just the right amount of confidence to believe in the things I think of, if only for a little while. Right now I'm figuring that women, although they seem really manipulative sometimes, don't do it on purpose. I think maybe it's as unintentional for them as being single minded is for guys. They don't MEAN to guilt you into doing things, it's just what they end up doing. These, of course, are generalizations which may not apply to any specific person, but seem to make sense when applied to some people. Of course, my built in cynicism automatically counteracts any benign guilt generated by my fellow human beings. "You left me to die in the desert!" "Yeah. I figured you wanted to be there." How's that for sensitive and caring? Yeegh.

  Well well well
    --- Today one of the Michelles I know told me she watched 'Gandhi' for 6 hours. That's as long as 'pinwheel' on nickelodeon, which is what I ended up watching all day on TV all those days I cut out of intermediate school. That's as long as School. That's 12 afternoon cartoons. That's a single screening of Gandhi! It's said to be the greatest movie ever or something though. I guess 'Great' can mean 'Big'.

    Speaking of Michelles, when I was a little kid I knew a girl named michelle. I really disliked the name at that time. It generated uncomfortable vibes in my head. Years later when I was seeing a Michelle I thought "Ha, I always associated Michelle with bad things... goes to show how meaningless vibes are." A while after that as I wandered around Boston alone, after being dumped, I thought "Oh. Okay, listen to vibes next time." But then, another Michelle is a good friend of mine who lives in Hawaii who I visited in the hospital after she tried to kill herself one day. Another Michelle is possibly the smartest 16 yr. old I know, and THATS the one who was watching gandhi! On purpose! Okay, so any of you michelles out there reading my page with plans to somehow destroy my way of life, PLEASE let me know. Thanks!
