It makes me sad when friends bash each other. Arguing is good. Bashing is bad. Even if it is all in good fun, you just don't bash your friends when it comes to politics and religion. The election is over and whether what happened was a good or a bad thing, your friends are your friends. One of the things I learned from my brief stint in the ( Read more... )

It is good to start writing again. This is my first post since last August and I thought I'd do an update. It has taken this long because I have this nasty, vicious circle of a habit.

So as I sit/stand here at work and overlook the operator floor, it strikes me that things are going pretty well. I actually like my job and the pay isn't too bad. We have lots of nerds working here so there is never a shortage of conversation and with Rustycoon sitting within pen-throwing range, the amusement never ends. Its nice to have one of ( Read more... )

Every once in while, life decides to force you to reevaluate things. Well.. last night at a DJ Dan show I got into a stupid conversation with two very good friends, entelechy77 and another close friend. The conversation was, in a sense, about being open-minded and respecting others views. After about 10 mins, it took a turn for the worst and ( Read more... )
