Is this thing still on?
For those who still follow me on here: I will be leaving on Sunday the 14th for truck driving school. For the foreseeable future, I will only be able to access the Internet from my phone (rather than being online all of the time from my computer). I've been accepted by C.R. England as a driver, pending my successful acquisition of a commercial ( Read more... ) -
On Human Action and Emergency Situations (actually, I just didn't have anything else to do today).
In the wake of the catastrophe that has befallen the Eastern Seaboard, there has been a great deal of discussion regarding what is frequently referred to as "price gouging". While the frustration is very understandable, I would like to present a different perspective on it.
Something that many politicians (regardless of their philosophical leanings ( Read more... ) -
Shorter version of the SOTU 2012 speech
"I'm fucking awesome because all of these nonexistent things happened under my rule, I killed Bin Laden with my own two hands, so y'all vote for me because I am beyond awesome and I will give you everything you have ever wanted, except for actual life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness. OBAMA 2012!!" -

Storm, son of Mogh
(Well, not really his father's name.)
I was chatting with a friend a few minutes ago about artists who believe they're never any good, regardless of how good they are. I had mentioned that that seems to be very common among artists, and then extrapolated that out to artists of all kinds, not merely those who create pretty (or awe-inspiring) pictures ( Read more... ) -
Taking over
As (I'm guessing) probably most people reading this will have learned via Jurann, I am taking over the administration of FurBuy over the course of time going forward. What will this mean for current and new users, is pretty much nothing in the short term, or at least nothing negative. I have a lot to learn about the system, and Jurann is still ( Read more... ) -

"That which does not kill me has made a grievous tactical error." -- Logan "One-Eye" Ragnar
Subtitle: More Bandwagoneering
Apparently I haven't had an original thought in my head for much of the week, but I don't mind. Found this in Hallan's LJ the other day: Ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Captain's log, stardate 102003.75
So... although many people I know have a LiveJournal, including all of my friends I talk to on FM, I've been rather ambivilant about the whole idea.

But, it's been pointed out that I need to have one of my own if I'm to view certain LJ's of others, and I finally ( Read more... )
