Is it not funny how websites seem to get old and sick- and eventually die- just like people do? Myspace was the shit 5 years ago, now when I go on there it is vacant and when I click on stuff it tries to give me a computer virus, much like an old person at a nursing home spreads shingles or something ( Read more... )

Has anyone seen the news story involving the High School girl in Mass who was bullied so much that she committed suicide? The public is outraged, and the people who bullied her are being brought up on felony charges. Pretty serious, right? That's what I thought...then I heard the details ( Read more... )

Saw the spitting guy again this morning, walking down Niagara St. I put my hat and hood on to look as thugish as possible, and did a couple slow drive bys and just glared at him. He knew what was up.

I have a major phobia when it comes to being critical of people I care about and like. It is a regrettable trait that has caused me trouble more than once in this life, and I fear it will continue to.

I was getting an eye exam this evening, and it took me to a part of Buffalo I'm not in much. On the way home I was driving past a friend's street, and thought I'd pop in and say hi. Then I realized that, duh, you just can't pop in anymore, and least without seeming weird, rude, or both. Pop ins are a major social faux pas in the age of texts, cell ( Read more... )

I just spent a long while rolling up years of pennies. Not sure how long it took, but it lasted one Leatherface album, one Avail album, and half the Rites of Spring discography. Totaled $22 in pennies, and another $27 in other change. Nice haul of "free" money.
