Reboot and rally

Updates have finished installing. Would you like to restart your computer now, while you are working on important unsaved documents and you left to make a sandwich? Or later when you would naturally turn your computer off? You have 6 seconds.

If you are ever looking to make an email request turn passive aggressive, just remind me to do something and then end it with a smiley face.  When you get a chance, can you go fuck yourself :)

Bears and Futures


While texting someone a message to make them feel better about our group's performance, I accidentally typed "whatever, I think we'll do better in the bear future" instead of "near future", but decided not to fix it, because frankly, I hope we do fare better in the bear future, that shit is gonna be rough.

Nightmare on Elm and any other street I happen to live on

There are really only two kinds of people that truly scare me.  First, the people who can look at a car and instantly figure out what's going on, they could skin a sheep if they had to, they just sort of clap and fire appears.  These are the people who will survive when the whole world goes to shit.  They have the skills possessed by our ancestor's ancestor's buddy who could fix shit real good.  They are survivors and their superiority intimidates me.  I'm always concerned that one day they are going to take me camping, ask to borrow my phone, crush it with their steel toed boot, and then hunt me.

The other kind of person is the one who, when the linking page to our lecture material site goes down, sends out that email that is like, "Hey guys, so I guess we can't access lectures through our main encryption node, I went through the trojan door and took down the source code.  I attached a zip file with the links on it.  Just copy the link and paste it into a media player with matrix access.  Should work just fine.  Skype me if you have any problems, I'll be on the space station".  These are the people who will survive as the world goes to its current state of shit. They have the skills that my kid's kid's virtual bully will have as he creates a dragon on the mainframe to steal my grandkid's space basketball trading cards.  I'm always concerned that one day they are going to take me camping, ask to borrow my phone, turn it into some kind of giant mechanical dinosaur, and then hunt me.

Cookie monster

Sometimes I'll come home from drinking and, with inhibitions down and hunger high, just ravage my roommates food.  I'll wake up the next morning to their box of cookies out and a whole sleeve missing. I'm always sorry and real disappointed in myself. I make sure to apologize and clean up. I also make sure to grab one more cookie
