Terri Sciavo is fucking dead. Too bad. My mom always told me that everyone serves a purpose. For the last few weeks, the hypocrisy of the Christian Right has been put on prominent display for the whole country to see.
Unfortunately, nobody cared. So, their ignorance and hatred will go back in the closet for a while, where it’ll be quietly ignored by the rest of America, while they grind our country into nothingness.
It has been my experience that most of these people were active believers in the “Sheet of Glass” theory after 9/11 - nuke the fuck out of the Middle East until every last ‘fucking towelhead’ is dead. They are largely the driving force behind hatred towards Muslims, they are usually the driving force behind the hatred for other races / social classes / sexual orientations / whatever. These people are the epitome of hate. If you want to find hate, you need look no further.
Suddenly, one man wants his brain-dead, comatose-for-a-decade wife to be unhooked from the technology that’s keeping her
body
alive, and they’re fucking up in arms, calling it murder.
These people are all fucking wrong on a fundamental level. So wrong that it’s probably not possible to wire their brains in a manner that could ever make them right. Now that’s the true meaning of ‘depressing.’
Apparently it’s not fucking green enough for people.
First off: Powermax Computing. Fuck Powermax, right in their gangrenous stumps. I ordered a laptop bag, which took a week and a half to even leave their fucking shop. Never again. Not so much as an apology.
Second: Adorama. Ordered a bag from them. Recieved one notice that the bag was on backorder and three more stating that my credit card information (which apparently was not verified at their fucking horrid website) was incorrect. After indicating changes and asking for a status update, they simply sent me a couple more generic fucking e-mails telling me that my credit card information was bad.
Do not ever deal with either of these companies. They are fucking worthless and will take your goddamn money. Fuckers.
So my beautiful new toy arrived today, and thanks to my CCNA training I won’t have a real chance to feel it up for the next two weeks or so. But this is something I wanted to share with someone. Apple gets a lot of recognition for their “out of box experience,” which roughly translated means that they put slightly more thought in to packaging their hardware than most manufacturers do. Which in itself means that they actually think about it, instead of just tossing shit in a box.
Shall I yammer on some more? It won’t do me any good anyway, you’re just here for the pix. Admit it. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Today, I purchased a 6-pack of Orange Tic-Tacs. They looked good, plus they came with a free “sports watch.” The watch in question is just another one of that same cheap-ass multifunction body that has been produced overseas ever since I was a little kid, only it’s in an equally cheap stopwatch-style body.
For some reason, holding this thing makes me immensely sad. Some poor Chinese kid put this together for less money than I spent in one break at work.
So, I redeemed the first of my caps, for Jackie Wilson’s “Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher And Higher” because it’s hard to be sad when that song is playing.
