Just thought I’d post this little mass email I got from a guy in my International Studies class. I lol’d.

Hey people, I gotta huge favor for any willing to help me out.

I have missed these convention things the past few weeks due to me having a full time job and they don’t exactly let me “call in” without getting written up. The ones earlier in the morning, on those dates (lucky me..) i have had exams. If there is anyone, ANYONE willing to help me out at all with some notes taken at these events, i would severely appreciate it. I am pretty desperate here and will pay whoever can get me something first, 20$.

Begging hardcore here..

Thanks ahead of time for helping me not fail this class. lol.

P.S. i know there was a sign in sheet at some of these, and i have already thought about how to handle that situation, thanks again!

Okokok. Maybe TODAY’S the day I Tumblr. F’reals this time.

Ok. So, let’s just start simple. Things I know.

Boobies. They’re pretty cool. Or so I’ve seen on the computer.

Ummmm. Beer is pretty aweso-YES! Beer!

Old Style recently (and by recently, I mean my local store just got them in) released their new “Authentically Kraeusened” beer. LET ME TELL YOU, it is both Authentic AND Kraeusened. AND Beer. Man, those cheeseheads don’t lie.

Oh, and on a TOTALLY UNRELATED NOTE, I got in a car wreck today because my mind was wandering. Yes. I was thinking about things. Let me break this down mathematically for you.

Things I SHOULD be thinking about while driving
= {The Road, Cars, Traffic, Pedestrians, Traffic Laws, Street Signs, Traffic Lights}

If you don’t follow that, don’t worry. I got a ticket for “following too closely” so I’m following closely enough for all of us.

Well, I’m glad we all know what happens when I’m drunk and sad and alone; I use my Tumblr. God help us all.

This is obviously not me. This baby’s father is paying WAY too much attention to him. Plus, what’s he got there, Schlitz? We probably wouldn’t even have hung out.

I usually write “FOR ANAL BEADS AND KY” in the memo field, but this is good too.

Apparently this is what happens when you piss off an engineer.

Yikes.

Yay! Tumblr! Yet another goddamned Web 2.0 (BETA) thing to figure out.

Ok, so if I don’t “follow” or “heart” you or whatever, cut me some fucking slack . Still figuring this damn thing out.

To my credit, I’ve got Twitter down to a science. Srsly. Here’s the algorithm:

boolean funnyTweet(string tweet)
{

switch(tweet)

{

case: tweet.contains(“[Bb]acon”)

return true;

case: tweet.contains(“[Hh]obo[- ][Vv]agina”)

return true;

case: tweet.contains(“[Gg]uy\ [Kk]awasaki”) && !tweet.contains(“(sucks | douche)”)

return false;

default:

return true;

}

}

So yeah, give me a second to figure this shit out. Hey. I WRITE software, I don’t USE it! God. What do you want from me?!

While at work, it is important to focus on the task at hand, lest you be easily distracted.

Goddamnit. I was tagged in this stupid Twitter chain letter thing. Fine. I’ll play along.


Seven things you may or may not know about me.

1. While I am pretty depraved, I do have my limits. I don’t like talking about pooping or farting. Sure, everybody’s gotta do it. But it’s not that funny and it’s just something I’d rather not envision. Pooping in a toilet is not groundbreaking.

2. I suck at most “guy things.” I don’t watch sports voluntarily. Changing the oil on a car is the extent of my mechanical abilities. I can program a computer, but not a VCR/DVD player. I’ve been hunting once, and I just watched. I can do manual labor, but I prefer not to. And I can’t fix shit around the house. My expertise lies in Computer Science and music, and that’s where I’d prefer to keep it.

3. I probably don’t want to check out that new band you’ve been listening to. For one, my musical tastes are fairly obscure. Moreover, I connect with music differently than most people. It’s kind of hard to describe, but in short, I integrate a particular album into certain points in my life and the memories from that period are forever fused with that soundtrack. This means that I will often listen to one album for weeks or months on end. When I’m able to see that band live, it’s always a spiritual experience.I usually won’t share music with other people either, to avoid the possibility that they ruin that experience for me.

4. I love my area of study and will respect you less if you don’t love yours. If you don’t love what you’re doing, why are you doing it?

5. I am super low maintenance. I can sleep in a car, on a park bench, in a train station - I once slept under the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I didn’t have a place to stay and that seemed as good as any place to sleep. I despise hotels and am a firm believer in Couchsurfing. I hear a lot of, “But what if they rob you, or kill you, or make breakfast and leave the eggs out after they leave?” Well, actually, that last bit did happen. But that’s the worst of it. I’ve met a lot of cool people by both hosting, and being hosted. I think the answer to a lot of our problems is more community. Care for others, and you will be cared for. It’s pretty simple. I guess that makes me a Commie. And on the smaller scale, yes I am.

6. I’m not easily pegged with politics. My teenage years are filled with memories of angst-ridden punk rock and Anarchy. And the real Anarchy too. The kind where people live free from government and authority and everyone takes care of each other. But - since that kind of Utopian society isn’t easily achievable (if at all), I tend to place my allegiances more rationally. I am officially a Green Party member, because I believe in their ideals, and I think we need more than just two parties in the United States. But again, bowing to my practical and logical side, I tend to vote centrist, for the issues and candidates that I think have the best shot at benefiting the greater good.

7. I have had a horrible dating life… Until now. Up to this point, every girl I’ve dated has pretty much just been out of convenience or a feeling of it being the thing to do at the time. I finally found a girl who I feel like I share a connection with and that is amazing. The stars seem to have aligned on this one. I would be lying if I said I hadn’t become extremely cynical about relationships and women and people in general. But I think I’ve finally broken that ugly streak. ‘Bout time!

Alright. This fulfills my obligation in this stupid chain letter. I hope you’ve enjoyed it. I haven’t. :-P

Oh, and I guess I have to tag people. Here, now you people have to deal with this:

eoporto

courtneyisneato

badkitty_

alegna24

homerdash

eatfoss

cranium

This is getting to be an annoying trend.

Fix your shit, Twitter!

My Mini is in the shop, currently accumulating debt for me.

In the mean time, I decided to try biking to work.

Every time I get this idea, I am reminded how much biking sucks in Omaha. There are no useful bike lanes, Dodge street is a death trap, it’s hot and humid as shit, and the hills. Oh, the hills.

Maybe I’ll take the bus tomorrow. :-/
