The Diary of an Internet Addict

The Diary of an Internet Addict

It was a warm August evening and I was at my computer surfing the world wide web. Jumping from site to site like a 15 year old living with ADD.
I felt the air conditioning kick on and a refreshing coolness overcome me; somehow I was able to focus on the screen all the more clearer. That pixilated world where I can find anything, learn everything, and be anyone. The Chrome Browser window had several tabs open to all the sites I frequent and all the stories and RSS feeds I needed were coming through the Google reader. I was up to date, in the know, and on some clearly psychological realm, out of control.
News sites began blurring together with the latest stories of all the mindless followers worshiping an idiot for President who sold his country down the river with each new signed bill. Entertainment sites flashed the latest news of normal people who were elevated to stardom by the sheer numbers of children they have and the latest teen starlet to photograph her own nude body and then be dumb enough to trust that they would never be distributed on the web in every country and through every wire traversing this great rock in space.
The purr of the fan in the laptop was my comfort and the heat generated from the CPU and dispersed through the keyboard was my physical link to my never ending barrage of information and illusion.
Just as I had settled in on a particularly good site on the healing powers of the avocado I was hit by the sounds of several popping windows from 3 different IM’s. I had forgotten to go to invisible status and I was being inundated with pop after pop of friends and family and strangers all trying to keep me from learning the greatest healing secrets of the cherished avocado.
I was typing as fast as my fingers could take me, a “hi” here and a “hello” there but the responses came back faster and my mind was being torn from my pixilated heaven. With not so much as a “goodbye” or clever sign off I closed all the IM windows and placed myself on invisible and then waited for several minutes in hiding, picking off the most tenacious conversationalist who could not take no for an answer and kept sending me offline messages.
After a full 3 minutes I was able to once again concentrate on the discovery at hand. But a thought had caught my mind and I was off to Wikipedia before ever learning the greatest healing secrets of the avocado.
Without warning time was awash and the screen flickered and brilliant colors filled the screen. I looked to the bottom of the browser and the page I had tried to click to was half way to loading but something was not right. These colors and flashes should not be happening, something was amiss.
And then it happened…a single white page, with no links, no flash, nothing but this white page with a short paragraph in black letters:

Congratulations, you have now reached the END of the internet.
There is absolutely nothing more to see.
Please shutdown your computer and return to a productive life in the real world.

And with that startling and cold message I moved my mouse over to the corner of the screen and clicked on shutdown.
As the OS began shutting my windows and logging me off, I felt a strange sense of release and freedom come over me. The laptop powered off and the black screen appeared and I was left to stare at that complete lack of everything and yet….I felt peace and calm.
I closed the laptop shell and slowly turned in my chair and then rose to my feet. I measured each step as if it were my first, slowly walking away from a world in which I had seen everything there was to see.

All My Love

All My Love

Where ever I stand,

In this space and time, I want to be with you,

Touch your face to my lips,

Like a secret crime, just holding onto you,

Behind all the words,

All the jokes aside, it’s my heart speaking the truth,

Just one thing left to admit,

One thing left to confide, one last thing to give to you,

(All my love, all my love,

Hidden from the eyes, all my love, just to be with you

All my love, all my love in time,

In this heart for you, in this heart for you… from me …for you……)

I heard a voice of light,

When your lips touched mine, I could see inside you,

Never to be afraid,

Or shy away this time, I look for the love within you,

Bottled up inside,

Hiding from all the words, a single word breaks through,

Open for you to see,

Speaking what I heard, it’s true…it’s true…from me to you…

(All my love, all my love,

Hidden from the eyes, all my love, just to be with you

All my love, all my love in time,

In this heart for you, in this heart for you… from me …for you……)

All these times, that we play,

Wrapped in truth, wrapped in games,

Secret nights, hidden days,

Hanging on the words that you say,

As I wait, on the street,

On the corner, in the bar,

Yes you know who you are,

And I say to you, Oh I say to you….

(All my love, all my love,

Hidden from the eyes, all my love, just to be with you

All my love, all my love in time,

In this heart for you, in this heart for you…for you…for you……)

Brilliant Shades

Brilliant Shades

It’s been months since I felt like this,
The heart has a beat again,
And the crazy boredom of the long, long wait,
Can be felt in the temptation of your sin,

Too high, too warm, too far to touch,
Like a brilliant blast of light,
It penetrates through every cell,
And the line blurs between what’s wrong and right.

I got up feeling just the same,
As when I went to bed last night,
With brilliant visions exploding in my head,
And poets warning me of just one more last respite.

(Chorus)
(Take me to Eden
Where the mind can be fallow
Where life and time can be found inside of you
Amazed by your brilliance
Amazed by you
Take me in brilliant shades of everything you do)

I found the perfect tiny little secret,
And I placed it inside a box,
I wrapped it in the finest silk,
Buried down deep inside under a heart of rocks.

Some things just can’t be contained I guess,
And some things like to bloom,
Like the perfect pink long stemmed rose,
Blowing in the springtime wind on a Sunday afternoon.

So what is wrong with a moment,
And the places it takes you deep within,
When you’re tired of feeling forgotten,
And you want to feel your happiness begin again.

(Chorus)
(Take me to Eden
Where the mind can be fallow
Where life and time can be found inside of you
Amazed by your brilliance
Amazed by you
Take me in brilliant shades of everything you do)

Man gored to Death in the Runnig of the Bulls – I say “GOOD”

A man was gored to Death in the latest running of the Bulls in Spain; this link can be found HERE.

I say GOOD. If you watch the video on the site the Bull looks frightened and scared by all the waste of flesh humans taunting him and hitting him with sticks. These bulls then end up being killed for sport (how can anyone call it that) by so called bull fighters which are some of the most pansy ass and pompous so called sportsmen on the face of the earth. These people disgust me and are no different than those idiots who call hunting a sport. I would love to see the Bulls take out as many stupid humans in the run as they can.

This sport needs to be banned. The shear cruelty of it is disgusting.

Bull fighting, hunting for sport, what a bunch of pansy ass humans. These people are the lowest on the evolutionary link, that is for sure.

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. “

Color me Google(d) – Google Chrome – OS

The Google Chrome OS is coming to a Netbook, Laptop, and Home PC in 2010. Not to be confused with Android (Google’s mobile OS for cell phones which will be powering some Netbooks this year), but a full on OS by Google under the same name as its Browser.

Just yesterday Google removed the Beta from its web apps (Gmail/ Docs/ Ect…) and now they announce their push into the OS market. Chrome OS will be open source technology built on the Linux kernel and Google representatives are saying that they are building it with web browsing, speed, and security in mind.

Will Microsoft go the way of the Dodo bird…ah…no, but it will see a decrease in market share and most Linux OS that are currently out on the market will be pushed out completely. The name brand is what will be a buying factor. When people go into a store they know the Google name and will not be afraid of picking up a PC running the Google OS as opposed to Ubuntu or Red Hat which has virtually ZERO public name recognition. This could in fact be a game changer in the OS market further down the line and lead to some much needed innovation. Let’s face it, Microsoft has not been innovating very much since Windows XP and Windows 7 in reality is just Vista 2.0 with a new name to calm those opposed to trying new things, but not much has really changed between this current release cycle.

It will be interesting to see how this new OS war will pan out in the coming years and once again Google is making things very exciting.

Is the Michael Jackson Story over Yet??? Or is the Media going to keep dragging it out???

Let me start out by saying – Michael Jackson – Smooth Criminal – RIP.

Now that, that is out of the way can everyone please move on? It has been over a week and I am just sick and tired about hearing about it. The Main Stream Media that same media that liberals love so much and talk about everything that isn’t important, can’t seem to get enough of pushing Michael Jackson down our throats for much of every news cast.

Retrospectives, personal friendships, scandals, financial issues, long lost interviews, new interviews, secret interviews, the biology of the kids, the custody of the kids, the will, the legacy, and this is just what I’ve heard and I am trying to stay away from it because in the long run it means nothing to the world around me. In the amount of time wasted covering these “entertainment tonight” issues the media should have been covering the mess Obama and his incompetent administration have gotten us into, instead we get this never ending media circus that the mass population are lulled into believing really matters on some level of existence.

I’ve got the Smooth Criminal’s “best of” album, I downloaded it from Amazon over a year ago, I threw it on and gave it a once over spin, I said via con dios, I’ve been over it since just a few days after it all went down. Move on people….

California should really get its priorities straight also, they are spending upward of 2 million dollars (as reported by ET) to cover the Staples Center mourning party celebration and I’m just wondering where this money is coming from in a state that is on the edge of bankruptcy and sending out IOU’s to tax payers and people they are in debt with. Watch California closely because it is a microcosm of what the USA will look like once the messiah Obama gets done raping the tax payer.

In other news today…oh…wait…there hasn’t been anything new reported……………………

The Future…are we ever going to get off this rock???

I remember when I was a kid and we would get these weekly reader magazines or some such thing that had different books that we could order and they would be shipped to the school. They always had a little selection from different categories so everyone could find something. I remember always looking at the Sci-Fi books on their and being amazed by the covers. One cover always stayed with me and that was a cover of what the future was supposed to look like in 19995 – 2000 and it was just inspiring to think that this was what we were going to be living in.

I never got that particular book but that image always stayed with me. Suffice it to say it is now 2009 and that image would still look like the future by today’s standards. We have come a long way with gadgets and personal technology but we have really lost our way in the ways of space exploration, efficient housing, and automotive technology. I mean, where the hell is my jet pack or flying car? Well the jet packs they have today can keep you afloat for maybe a minute and fifteen seconds and it really has changed that much since the time of Michael Jackson flying into the Super Bowl in the 80’s. As for flying cars, they will never be made legal because we have these things called telephone and electrical poles that carry all this wire zig-zagging across the country, kind of like a big gigantic net to a flying car being used by the public, a public that can’t even drive let alone fly. Not to mention, can you imagine the insurance you would have to pay? You would have morons crashing into houses, trees, and electrical lines daily. Sadly, I doubt we will ever see a time when we can use a flying car as our main mode of transportation.

When it comes to space exploration we have NASA shuttering the shuttle and taking us back to the time of sitting people on the end of a huge gas tank propelled by fire, which would be a rocket to the “Y” generation. How is that for advancement, we are going back. Private industries such as Virgin Galactic are now more advanced in the latest space flight technology than the outdated and prehistoric NASA. Funding is a big problem for NASA, when our government would rather spend 60 Billion dollars for condoms and abstinence programs in Africa instead of advancing our reach from a soon to be over crowded planet, you have a problem.  Of course NASA lacks any real kind of direction and it clearly shows. The most economical way for us to go would be the creation of the space elevator and the creation of actual ships would take place high above our atmosphere. We would have no more need for the high cost of fuel to get us into space and that money could go elsewhere. It’s probably not going to happen if NASA has the roadmap though.

Another sobering fact is that we are never going to get of this rock we call Earth, at least in our life time. For the foreseeable future the really cool stuff will remain science fiction.

In the Case of the Best Sci-Fi Series on TV…but not really on TV anymore….

We have Battlestar Galactica.

This TV series which was on the former Sci-Fi Channel (and now for some strange reason in order to get away from science fiction they now call themselves SyFy which we like to pronounce Siff-Fee) is and was one of the best produced series and Sci-Fi shows in a very long time.

I’m currently starting the 4.0 season on DVD…thats right I don’t have all those nifty channels, our cable consists of the antennae channels mainly because my wife and I are just cheap like that. Anyway, the series is very high on production and very deep on story elements. Many have said it is just to dark and gritty for them but I guess if Robots that were following them through the vastness of space with the intention of wiping out the entire human race would rather have a little get together with party balloons and card games and  just make a nice little genocide of it with smiles. Yeah, the people who say it is too dark are just wankers.

If you haven’t taken the time to get involved in this series then you should probably pop on over to Amazon and pick it up. The entire series collection is coming out in a box set soon so you can pick that up or just spread out the dough and pick the seasons up separately. Just remember that season 2 has a 2.5 and 4 has a 4.5 because of the time in between airings on Siff-fee.

I’m hoping the remake of V can maintain somewhat the same kind of integrity as Battlestar Galactica has put into its own series but something tells me it may not, I’ll be giving it a try though.

After 4 Seasons of Battlestar and then this upcoming final season of Lost what in the world are us Sci-Fi addicts going to do???

That’s a lot of pressure to put on V and the Battlestar spinoff Caprica but hopefully both will come shining through.

I Am a Google

I Am a Google

I was just thinking today of how much of my life revolves around Google.

I use their search engine all day long and I refuse to “bing” it because that’s just silly. I’ve come to rely on my Gmail account more than my yahoo account because of all the nice little tweaks and touches I have been able to do to it. I am a proud user of Google Chrome (the fastest web browsing available) and also a convert from my once beloved Firefox which has slowed down and become bloated, not as much as Internet Explorer but enough to make me switch. Google Docs has been very impressive so far and something I am currently exploring more and more. I’m even thinking of taking the plunge and getting the Mytouch phone (the Google phone with the Android OS from HTC) since I already am on T-mobile and doesn’t it really just seem like the next logical step?

There are some things I would like to see from Google in the future but most requires support from another Party in order to make it work.  I would like for my Gmail to be able to pull up and search Youtube videos from within. Something they should conceivably be able to do since they own Youtube. I would also like to be able to post my status to Facebook from within my Gmail without actually having to pull up Facebook to do it. It would be nice to also be able to type up my blog in Google docs or even Gmail and be able to post directly to word press, pure, simple, and streamlined. Gmail could conceivably become a personal portal to the internet.

On the horizon is the Acer Netbook which will contain a dual boot of Microsoft XP and Android. It will be interesting to see how Android does with running a PC and just how much support may or may not be needed to make it all come together seamlessly.

Linux has a high return rate when being bundled with a PC or Notebook so introducing Android (itself being based on Linux) on a dual boot platform with XP is a pretty good marketing tactic to get it into the market without having product coming back from people who didn’t do their research in the first place…IE…The User.

So you can be a Mac and you can be a PC but I think I’ll be a Google.
