I know you're out there
« on: August 19, 2006, 08:50:33 PM »
Like me, you're hunkered down right now, and the TV sucks, the book you started reading has turned into a pile of **** right before your very eyes, and you're wandering around lost on the information superhighway for something, anything interesting. And you click back here every so often for something compelling to read; someone's insightful take on things; something you can get your teeth into.

But.... tonight? It's not panning out.

And I'm wrackin' my brain trying to figure out a way to make things interesting around here...

But I got nothin'...

I'm still working on it, but in the meantime if any of you have any ideas, please, just toss them out here.

We're all in this together.

Im in the same boat right now. Seems like the internet has passed its prime in providing entertainment on these kind of occasions.

LOL.... yeah.

I've actually got that loaded on my comp. 2005. Erhm, might have deleted it. But I have the discs.... I guess it's an option.

The idea of starting from scratch though... and having to re-buy all of the stuff that enables you to hit a decent drive is daunting.

Worthy of consideration......

Yall are kidding right? Golf video games? Its enjoyable doing it in real life after some practice. But playing it on a computer or console...sounds as exciting as watching the news in a airport.

Okay, how about this....

I remember (vaguely remember) reading this Omni magazine article (do you remember Omni?) wherein it said that western civilization was moving in a direction towards isolationism. Not in the meta sense, but in the personal. And that entire industries would emerge to cater to our gradual retreat.

Bigger TV screens, comfier couches, automated houses. All sorts of mad ****. Back then, the internet was as conceivable as 64k of RAM was seen as being neccessary by Bill Gates.

We would be less engaged in society. We wouldn't know our neighbours. We wouldn't take active roles on our communities. Even our jobs would evaporate in the traditional brick and mortor sense; we would telecommute and be free at last.

And then came the internet... which pretty much cemented the deal.

And here we are.

I think that we should take a big step backward... about a decade or so. We can all meet in an IRC chat room and coordinate 2v2 air combat duels using 66 Mhz Macintosh computers and phone modems. ;)

Only if I get to use the word "yutes" repeatedly. That'd be cool.

Honestly though... If the letter you posted here doesn't get you out of this jam, I have no idea what will.

i'll take that as a compliment.

still working on it, but my strategy at this point is to open a dialouge through an officer that my girlfriend knows well and then get an attorney on monday.  hopefully the word will flow that i am not taking this one sitting down.  

that said, yutes betta be findin sometin ta doo buffer yer mind sterts ta wobble like them there jella's awnt bessie puts up dare onst yonder counter.

It's waaaaaay bad to find yourself on the bad side of the cops.

I've got this cousin who was a really good kid. As kids, I used to spend every other summer down in San Jose visiting him, and he'd spend every other summer up here.

Then we got all growned up. We lost touch. And he married this chick.

Turns out, she started cheating on him with a cop. And then all this nastiness started to happen wherein the entire SJPD basically drove the guy out of town. Beat the snot out of him, intimidated him, whatever.

Next thing ya know? My cousin is now in jail for trying to blow up some court house in San Andreas. LOL. He's now known as the 'Calaveras Bomber.' I shouldn't laugh but it cracks me up just thingking about it. :D

I've also got a coupla friends here that are cops.... and pretty much... there is no negotiating with them. They let eachother get away with anything. I was driving with this sherif who was WASTED and we got pulled over into a checkstop. He rolled down his window and the cop said "Duke? Get out of here."

As much as I want to choke on my own vomit writing this - it does not behoove you to get into some kind of kerfuffle with these people. Make nice and move on.
