Cogs can think.

As you can see in the sidebar, I have registered at Flickr today, in order to post daily photos on my blog here. I ain’t promising anything, though. I will try my best to post daily photos, but there ain’t no guarantee.

As some of you may know, every now and then, I change the tagline of my blog (it’s underneath the big title). There’s no method in that, i just sometimes change it, at will. It was “I can buy you, but I can’t make you do what you don’t” for quite a while, though (it’s from A Camp). You could say each tagline kind of refers to the general state I’m in, but you didn’t get that from me.

I’m in a Dead Like Me period at the moment. For the 38947238957th time, I’m watching all 29 episodes of the two seasons - I can basically lip sync them but I’m still amazed and inspired by it nonetheless. Like I said, it’s not TV, it’s art. Anyway, that’s where my current tagline is from.

For me, it sums up ‘life’. Life is one big consideration: is whatever the hell I’m doing right now, or the things around me, worth sticking around for? Do I drive by Renaatje’s exit when we are talking in the car, continuing the drive so we can talk some more? Do I continue to watch this film, or do I turn it off so I can go make some espresso? Do I continue writing this txt msg, or do I quit because I’m afraid of its consequences? Do I take another Martini, or do I leave for home? Should I take one final chocolate chip cookie, or do I put them away for tomorrow?

And the list goes on. All we basically do in life is consider.

Maybe Rube was right. Smell some fcuking roses already.

My blog hasn’t seen many US bashing as of late.

I just saw on the news that China is going to modernise its armed forces; they are giving a major financial injection, which is sorely needed if you look at the fact that while China spends 34 billion, annually, on its armed forced, the US spends 404 billion.

Sorely needed?

Yes. I am very uncomfortable with the United States being the only superpower in the world, especially taking into account the stupidity of its electorate. While electorates generally are stupid, whatever the country, the US simply redefined the whole idea by giving Bush a second term.

But anyway.

I actually made a FAQ a few days ago. Enjoy.

Weblogs generally are mediocre (at best) and almost exclusively very uninteresting and uninspiring (like this one).

For the first time, I have found a weblog which is worth my precious time to follow on a daily basis. I stumbled upon Dooce.com, a weblog which seems to be like any other; however, upon closer inspection you’ll learn to appreciate the gentle but direct humour Heather B. Armstrong has. Even though prozac humour is pretty much, like, not funny anymore, she still manages to get away with it because, well, I don’t know, she just does.

The FAQ is a good starting point. Be sure to read #6.

This is for anyone who writes stuff:

Use paragraphs.

Seriously. I refuse to read and/or link to articles or news items that are not divided into paragraphs properly. When paragraphs are really long, there is something wrong; it almost exclusively means that the paragraphs in question are elaborating on not one core sentence or utterance, but two, or worse, more than two.

Please, take this into account. It renders texts unreadable. Use the paragraph wisely.

And here I am, bored out of my ass. Everyone else is having class at the moment, Felicia and I are done with our statistics homework (for now), and Renate won’t answer the phone. I already updated OSNews, and now my blog as well.

I’m officially bored. Time to get an espresso.

I’ll be internet-less basically for two to four weeks. I’m moving today, but my cable company/ISP said that the installation package (modem, cables, etc.) takes THAT long to ship. Lazy cunts.

In other words, ‘ttyl’.

Hey Blogsome is Irish.
