Oh, and god damn it, I love broadband. Fuck it, this is way better than sex, from what little I remember of it.

Experiment: OFF.

God effing damn it. It is not easy to get back into this blogging nonsense. Especially when it's 3 AM and you're not, shall we say, fully coherent. There were some interesting quotes, most of which no one will give a shit about, save people who were here, that I can't even remember right now, from this evening. Probably won't remember them later in the morning, either. Of course, a basic rundown of the evening was as follows:

A) Meet up
B) Go to Old Chicago
C) Come back to the apartment
D) Download porn/pseudo-porn
E) Bullshit with this kid about all the crap that went down in '95
F) Pass out (as yet to happen)

In 12 hours, I'm going to be at a wedding. A wedding for this kid I knew in high school who was, to say the least, chauvinistic. I don't know if I'd call him misogynistic, but he was close. Part of his anti-woman stance was because he was trying to put on this tough guy image. Oh, and because he was a self-confessed Christian conservative. Anyway, his getting married business fucks with me. Just like all the other friends I've known who have gotten married. But this was the one marriage that you could easily say should never have happened, and at the same time, you could say was inevitable. Although the inevitability is mostly from an ironic standpoint. I'm probably making this kid out to be worse than he really was/is. Sure, he's a hardline conservative. But he was a decent guy. Just misguided.

But still, all these marriages. God damn it. No matter how I slice it, I honestly don't want to be married right now. If I were to be married, it would only be just so I could say "Phew, past all that bullshit now. Glad that's out of the way." But I don't want that.

Still, all of my close friends, or people I used to be close friends with, are either married or in serious relationships. And I'm on my own. Which is good in some ways. I don't have to put up with anyone's bullshit. Or answer to anyone. Okay, except my mother. And grandmother. Yes, I'm a momma's boy. But fuck any guys who judge me, because you're all the same. As one friend put it, all guys aren't between relationships. They're between mothers. And don't go Oedipal on me; that's not what I'm talking about.

Still, this fucks ass. I've got absolutely no one I'm close to "in that way." It's been an embarassingly long time since I have been, too. And yeah, it's my bloody fault. I get that. Or maybe I don't, but it still sucks. I know, or I think I know, that I deserve better, but I'm still paralyzed from doing anything. Why is that? AND GOD FUCKING DAMN IT, i CANNOT TYPE. That, of course, is thanks to the boo-zay. Even if the content of my posts is normally shitty, I can at least type properly.

I hate this lonliness, but at the same time, I love this freedom. Jyst one of life's lovelly little paradoxes. My guess it that someday, I'll look back and be glad that I had this time on my own. But at the same time, I might regret having wasted all this time.

Christ, I don't even know where the hell I'm going with this. Basically to see where a post will go when I'm drunk off my ass. It's time for bed. I'm probably going to regret hitting the "Post & Publish" button later in the morning, but oh well. Like I said, thi post is an experiment. And since this whole fucking 'blog is just one failed experiment, I might as well go with it.

Apparently, Christina Arrugula (Aguilera) set of the airport metal detectors with her genital piercings recently. Here's what JFR had to say about it:

"I know that earrings don't set those things off. Rings don't set them off. Bracelets don't set them off in some cases. What did she have down there, an aluminum bat? A piece of rebar?"

Fuck you, Bush. NO ONE IS MORE RESPONSIBLE THAN YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE FOR MAKING POLITICS EVEN MORE UGLY THAN THEY ALREADY WERE. Calling behavior "shameful" just because they won't give you 100% of what you want is just one example of how ugly your politics are, you fucking asshole. How about needlessly sending men and women to die just to further your political image? Sounds pretty ugly to me. Oh, yeah, then there's that "Who gives a shit about women as long as we uphold our stupid religious ideas" deal. Again, pretty fucking ugly. And these are just a few examples.

I think Al Franken put it best when he said "I grow discouraged about the tone."

Christmas comes early this year.

Yeah, he's still going to get a bunch of undeserved attention, and for all I know this may actually further his career in some way, or at least make him a bunch of money. But I'm going to savor this for now.

In my absence (fucking sad that four days is an "absence" for me, but it is), it's nice to see that my favorite Times columnists haven't given up on bashing the Bush administration. Welcome to Cheneyworld, motherfuckers.

The reports of my arrest are greatly exaggerated.

The same goes for any other reports of death or whatever. Reports of being busy or just general apathy may have a hint of truth to them.

So, yeah, shit's different now. New job, new apartment, new city, and maybe most importantly, new broadband connection. That's pretty much what's occupied the last several days. Moved on Saturday, started work on Monday. Job seems good so far, apartment is fucking bad ass. Then, of course, after moving in, there's all the organization I have to take care of to get this place in order. That was interrupted yesterday by the new broadband hookup.

And since I have broadband once again, you know what that means. Porn: ON.

A so-called friend got me back into newsgroups. Newsgroups were how I got my start in the world of web porn, from back in the days of fourteen-four. That would be circa 1995. This kid and I spent quite a few hours burning up my five free AOL hours every month just digging through alt.binaries.pictures.erotica. It was slow going, so as you can imagine, I always went well beyond the five free hours every month that $20 bought you in those days.

I got back into newsgroups for awhile four years ago or so when we had DSL and I discovered a web site that offered free access to newsgroups. I mostly used those to download ALS scans, which some of you may or may not be familiar with. At some point, though, that web site went pay service, and I haven't fucked around much with newsgroups since then.

Until now, of course. Man, it is fucking insane out there. I'm limited to one crummy gig of newsgroup downloads a month, and after two nights, I'm about halfway there. Which sucks, most definitely, but it's probably for the better. There's no way in hell I could get shit done if I had unlimited access to newsgroups. Just sorting through all of the shit I download and culling the good stuff could be a full-time job in and of itself. Man, if only I could find a way to pull off a gig like that. I would officially be the envy of all men. "What do you do for a living?" "I download porn on the internet, and I have a much bigger house than you do."

I don't know where the ol' 'blog is going to go from here. The past several days I either haven't had time, web access, or the inclination to 'blog. I'm mainly posting now just because I feel like I owe the people who keep showing up here something. For some reason, I'm maintaining decent site traffic despite not having done shit for several days.

Even before the big move, I've been questioning what to do about this 'blog. I never really intended for it to go anywhere, but now it sorta seems like it should at least go somewhere. But no, it's still the same bullshit, complaining about Bush and whatever. I got well past the sodomizing a dead horse point a long time ago, but at some point, I would think, the redundancy is just going to get ridiculous. I'm not sure if we're there yet, but we've gotta be skating pretty close.

Like I said, we'll just have to see. It may be awhile before I fully get back into the swing of things when it comes to 'blogging, mainly just because I really am pretty fucking busy right now, and not just with the whole porn thing. I'm sitting here surrounded by about two dozen boxes packed with stuff, and that's just the upstairs. Downstairs is slowly coming together, but let's face it, that's still a fucking mess, too. Then there's this full-time job, which I actually have to work hard at and pay attention to, mainly because I actually want to.

Oh, and don't read too much into my bullshit here - Fuck Everything isn't going anywhere. I'm never going to stop complaining about, well, everything, and if I'm gonna do that, why not share with a bunch of strangers?

So, thanks to all you FE readers out there. I'll do what I can to maintain the low level of quality you've come to expect from this site.

I just love when Hotmail's signon page asks simple questions whose links I don't have to click on to get the answer. Today's quiz: Who's attracted to you?

Easy: no one.

Once again, instead of posting anything meaningful, I'm gonna share a few more interesting Google searches. Wait a minute, when the fuck do I ever say anything meaningful? No matter. Here we go.

lolicon california law

I've actually gotten two hits for this as of late. Someone looking for how their Lolita complex figures into California statutes. Maybe it was the same person both times; I don't know. If it was, I don't know what the fuck brought them here a second time, because they didn't find what they were looking for the first time. Either way, whether it was one person or two different people, I failed to give them any legal insight.

So, for when I get the third hit off of this, I'll offer some advice. Just ask Japan for asylum right now. Even if you're like me, and you like to look but you're never going to actually go chasing any teenage poon (or, maybe younger, depending on how fucked up these guys are), it doesn't matter. This society frowns upon you even thinking about anything remotely sexually interesting, especially younger girls. You're going to prison, just like me. End of story.

fuck corpses

Once again, we see the quality of some people who end up laying eyes on this 'blog. In case you're wondering what that search found on my site, there was one point that I used the phrase "fuck corpses," and this is what I was alluding to in that post.

I really hate those "Real men love Jesus" bumper stickers. Not just because it's religious bullcrap, but because it sounds kind of gay. A "real man" who loves another man? Sounds fruity to me. Since I'm practically gay myself, you know that I think there's nothing wrong with one man loving another man, so that's not where I take issue. What really irritates me about this slogan is that these Christian motherfuckers are so often homophobic, and "real men" loving other men, even Jesus, just doesn't jive with that fact for me. Inconsistency at best, hypocrisy at worst.

To counter this, I've always wanted to make a bumper sticker that read "real men fuck corpses." The corpse in this case is Jesus Christ, because Jesus, if he ever existed, is FUCKING DEAD.

love hina pictures, keitaro and naru are fucking around

If you've seen any of the Love Hina series, you will know that the show is NOTHING BUT Keitaro and Naru fucking around. And not in a sexual way, but in a really irritating "he's a pussy and she's a repressed bitch" kind of way. Why I am so enamored with that show is beyond me, except for the fact that I'm a fucking retard.

Somre more reaction to Bush's speech.

Much more intelligent commentary on Bush's speech yesterday.

Okay, so, more Google related shit. I feel lame everytime I talk about Google hits that bring people here, but I can't help it. It's amusing. And, let's face it, I've turned up in some interesting search results.

Well, one of the latest was "looking for a japanese girlfriend", which hit on a post where I mentioned pretentious anime watching fucks who wear t-shirts that say just that.

Anyway, in the search results was a site dedicated, basically, to what the t-shirt says. It's one of those dating sites where guys go to pick up Japanese women. On it, I came across a page where women can post their own messages. I was starting to cull out some of the better Engrish, but a lot of these women do sound really nice and I actually felt bad mocking them. However, a spam I just received told me I can "Add length to your Member," so I don't have to feel bad anymore. Besides, these women who have me thinking they're so sweet are probably just schoolgirl prostitutes.

So instead, I'm just going to post a link so you can go and see for yourself what cheesy personal ads look like in broken English.

Moment of pride for the day: If you do a Google search for I ALWAYS FUCK EVERYTHING UP, this site is #1, baby.

One area where the Democrats have shown balls, something they're not used to doing, is with filibustering some of Bush's judicial nominees. It looks as if they may be poised to do it again.

The Republicans have no problem with filibustering when they can use it to their advantage but they cry foul when it's used against them, and now they're trying to change the rules. Naturally, anytime someone goes against them, the opposition is being "unconstitutional" or "unpatriotic." FUCK YOU, ASSHOLES.

This notion that the Democrats are being abusive is fucking nonsense - it's not like they're filibustering every bloody thing and completely deadlocking the Senate. No, they're using the only tool they have left to try and keep some of the more far-right nominees off of the bench. This is important shit, too, and for once I actually have to applaud the Democrats who have decided to man up and actually fight the Administration.

This, of course, is pretty much what the Republicans do anytime they can't get their way - they go into whiny crybaby mode and try and change the rules. They did the same thing in Texas - I can't remember exactly what rule it was they changed, but the Republicans changed something which allowed the redistricting to go through. I think originally, you needed a two-thirds majority to get a redistricting plan to go through, but the governor or lieutenant governor had it changed so that they only needed a simple majority. Hence, all the special sessions and all the running away by the Democrats in the Texas senate.

The fact that Republicans have to have their way with every single thing is yet another dangerous pattern, and it's scary. Single-party state - we're on our way.

So it goes. I find it kind of amusing that when I clicked that link only a couple of hours ago, there was only talk of the first two rulings, but now they've added a third. As such, that CNN article is a worse than usual cut-and-paste job.

I think we need a new t-shirt: "Abortion doesn't kill children, I kill children."

I just realized something. Now that Eli is 'blogging, him and I don't even have to talk to eachother anymore. This is great!

The second I saw this URL in my referral list, I knew exactly whose 'blog it was. Say hello to my good friend Elijah the Prophet as he informs you of the olfactory delights of his nutsack and whatever other stuff he sees fit to put in his 'blog.

Now that he's 'blogging explaining the joke, life's not worth living anymore.

Quote of the week, courtesy of Chow-sensei's archives and coming from a discussion of being able to buy Japanese DVDs:

Sure, I'd never watch them, but at least I could display them on my shelf so people can see what media defines me as a person.

Sadly, that pretty much sums up my entire life.

Also, some mad points for the Critic reference in the title of February 18th's entry. I'm expecting William Fucking Shatner to bust out of the room any minute now and start feeding on downed power lines.

Man, speaking of The Critic, there's yet another show that needs to be released on DVD.

Google search (which can be interpreted in a way that amuses me) of the day:

+"kim jong il" +asuka

Is Kim Jong Il making moves on my woman? If so, I'll fucking go over there and bomb the shit out that cocksucker. If Asuka doesn't just eat him alive first, that is.

Wouldn't that make a great headline for the papers or history textbooks someday? "Pissed off American kid incites nuclear war over cartoon character."

Bush was spewing more bullshit and unfounded conclusions in a speech today at the National Endowment for Democracy. Text of the speech can be found here.

Some quotes 'n' notes:

They will point to the role of technology in frustrating censorship and central control...
Just sit back and let the irony of that statement settle in.

Yet we also know that liberty, if not defended, can be lost.
Something Americans are currently getting firsthand experience in.

The nations of Europe are moving toward unity, not dividing into armed camps and descending into genocide.
Is he referring to the EU? I'm sure countries like Britain are real thrilled to hear praise that they've kept their shit together and haven't descended into genocide. I know; he was probably referring to places like the Balkan states, but this was still poorly phrased.

And we will stand with these oppressed peoples until the day of liberation and freedom finally arrives.
If we stand to profit from it.

After the Japanese surrender in 1945, a so-called Japan expert asserted that democracy in that former empire would, quote, "never work."
I'm tired of the continual use of Japan and Germany as examples as to how we are capable of democratizing nations. Although both situations degraded, Germany and Japan had experience with democracy not long before WWII. I went into this more in depth in a September 7th post, which was a long post with a bunch of comments on one of Bush's speeches (if you want to find the Germany/Japan stuff, just search the page for "Hitler"). I'm not saying that democracy is impossible in the Middle East (although I have serious doubts), but using examples like post-WWII reconstruction is a cheap attempt at making it look like it's going to be easy when it isn't.

It should be clear to all that Islam, the faith of one-fifth of humanity, is consistent with democratic rule.
Yes, when we're talking about mainstream Islam. More of the hard-line fundamentalist strains of Islam, however, seems to have some issues with Democratic rule. That's what we're up against today.

Instead of dwelling on past wrongs and blaming others, governments in the Middle East need to confront real problems and serve the true interests of their nations.
Yeah, don't dwell on past wrongs and blame others, because that's our fucking job! It's gonna be hard to convince others to "confront real problems and serve the true interests of their nations" if we can't even follow that edict.

The great and proud nation of Egypt has shown the way toward peace in the Middle East, and now should show the way toward democracy in the Middle East.
Sorry, but Egypt isn't the best example. Take a look at some blurbs from the National Democratic Institute and the U.S. State Department (check out the sections entitled "From Sadat to Mubarak" and "Government and Political Conditions"). Also, I remember watching a special on Egypt when the war started where anti-war protests were being showcased. The protests were some of the most significant seen in Egypt in a long time, as political protest is frowned upon by Mubarak's government. Overall, progress has been made, but I don't think it's anything to really be bragging about. It shows potential, but shows that the fight is far from over, and it's going to take more work than this generation is used to if we want to get the job done.

As we watch and encourage reforms in the region, we are mindful that modernization is not the same as Westernization.
The problem, George, is that a lot of nations who we are pushing towards modernizing DO view it as Westernization, and as such, they're going to fight it. It doesn't matter what we think, it's all going to come down to what they think. You, your underlings, and a good deal of this nation all seem to be far from grasping this fact.

Successful societies limit the power of the state and the power of the military so that governments respond to the will of the people and not the will of the elite.
Again, this is not a credible statement coming from the President* of the United States.

Successful societies guarantee religious liberty; the right to serve and honor God without fear of persecution.
Or, you asshole, the right to not serve and honor God. Coming from Bush, there is no implication of this other side of the coin.

They prohibit and punish official corruption and invest in the health and education of their people. They recognize the rights of women.
Do you think he actually said this with a straight face?

The failure of Iraqi democracy would embolden terrorists around the world and increase dangers to the American people...
This is yet another false conclusion. Terrorists will be emboldened regardless of the success of Democracy in Iraq. Even if democracy takes hold, the terrorists aren't gonna be like "Well, fuck. I guess the infidels have won. Time to punt."

... America has put our power at the service of principle.
No, we have put our power at the service of us. And that's fine, but quit lying about it.

May God bless your work, and may God continue to bless America.
Thanks for once again driving home the point that we have a theocracy in principle.

* - as you may have noticed, I don't really like referring to Bush as the "president." Ignoring the questionable results of the 2000 election, it's just embarassing to me to have to acknowledge this dimwitted asshole as the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. As such, I'm going to do to Bush what they did to Roger Maris. With Maris, they added an asterisk to his record of 61 homeruns in 1961 since it took him more games to get that 61st HR than it did Babe Ruth to reach 60 (the length of the baseball season had been increased between the time of Ruth and Maris. As such, I'm going to add an asterisk to Bush's title because, whether or not he actually won that election, I don't think he deserves to be President.

Here are some specs and prototype images of Sony's upcoming PSP handheld. When they say "may incorporate mobile phone technology," I think they're just referring to the fact that it's cell phone strap ready.

Okay, you know what I'm fucking sick and tired of? This goddamn fucking Powerpoint mentality that we have nowadays. This stupid mindset where everything has to have a bunch of stupid animations and bright flashing colors. Fuck content, my site is made entirely in Flash!

Fuck flash sites. I can't stand sitting there waiting for what I know is going to be total shit to load. And it's not just because I'm on dialup, although it is extra irritating. However, Flash-based sites pissed me off whenever I had broadband, and will continue to piss me off when I have it again. Some amusing stuff has been done with Flash, but I am going to punch Flash-only sites in the face.

Another area ripe with egregious offenses of this type are of course Powerpoint presentations themselves. Once again, pretty colors and neat-o transitions are added to compensate for a presentation completely devoid of anything useful. Get some balls and make some fucking slides that are actually meaningful.

Does this mean that my class or work presentations are full of good content which informs my audience? FUCK NO. But my goddamn presentations live and die on their own (lack of) merit, just like any shitty website I've put together. I'm not embarrassed to show off my shit, and I won't try and distract my audience from said shit.

I've gotten a couple of comments on the whole Linux situation, and thought I'd post a few more thoughts along those lines.

I really do wanna try Gentoo again, if nothing else because of their adaptation of FreeBSD's ports system. I've done a little bit of fucking around with FreeBSD, and the ports system was cool. Well, like most things, cool when it worked. But I really liked the notion of being able to easily build from source for new installs, because I fucking hate prepackaged binaries and package managers.

Apt-rpm isn't bad for RedHat users, in fact it's pretty fucking bad-ass as long as it can find the bloody package you want (which would probably have a higher success rate if I went out and found more apt-rpm repositories).

Of course, I could deal more in source RPMs, but even though I know it's easy to do that I forget how to use src RPMs every bloody time I try, so I end up needing to re-learn and usually just end up avoiding all of it. That's kinda how I am with classes and C++. My classwork tended me more towards straight C, so I used C++ and classes rather infrequently. As such, every time I had to use classes I found myself re-learning class-related syntax and shit. I find that so annoying that one time when faced with having to use classes I just learned OO Perl instead.

Still, I'm dreading dealing with the fucking Gentoo install, which I'm not sure if I ever even had the patience to get past. With Debian, on the other hand, I got past the install, but as I recall somehow a bunch of shit I told it to install didn't install. This may have been related to the fact that it downloaded packages to /var, but neglected to tell me this when I sized /var, nor do I recall an option to stick those downloads elsewhere. I probably just didn't play with it enough, but at that point I had already had it.

Mandrake was the first distro I installed all on my own and fucked around with for awhile. It was decent. I know that they're shooting for "user friendliness," which is great in terms of Linux advocacy. Linux definitely needs to be more user friendly if it has any hopes of being dominant on the desktop (which I don't see happening anytime soon for myriad reasons).

The problem I ran into was when I tried to compile a kernel, and the GCC that Mandrake installed couldn't handle it. I figured it was because of all the optimizations that went into Mandrake, but I didn't really care since it was not long after that that I switched to RedHat.

Ever since then, I've had a mental block of "Mandrake for newbies, and not power users," but maybe that's changed nowadays. There are some people I've talked to who have used it and loved it, but it's gonna be hard to get rid of that wussy feel Mandrake has for me.

Personally, I think RedHat quit the supported free desktop because they couldn't keep up with Mandrake's version numbers (along with the fact that it probably wasn't bringing in a ton of money).

I've got more to say on this issue, but I'm going to have to leave most of that for another time (I'm actually getting some packing done. Two boxes so far, one of them just a handful of Care Bears... Woo hoo!). Until then, am I the only one sick and tired of the Bush boys trying to play god?

I've known about this Evangelion disc for awhile, but I think this is the first street date I've heard. I'm just wondering if/when we're going to get an American version of that ultra-expensive "Revival" box set that was released in Japan this summer. I mean, really, can we just skip straight to the heavy spending and dispense with all the finger-fucking already?

You know, if I hear Shinji referred to as a "reluctant hero" one more fucking time...

And don't get me started on that fucking live action Eva bullshit. I think this one Slashfucker put it best when Assdot initially covered the live action nonsense:

I agree on so many lives. Live action EVA is bad, wrong, and stupid. Are they going to have a tall, busty Japanese woman playing Misato? Are they going to have fourteen-year-olds in skin-tight vinyl? Are they going to have a penguin? Are they going to have lots of Rei clones? Are they going to invoke the wrath of the Christian right with the decidedly mangled Christian imagery in Evangelion? Is Misato going to die in the second reel? How about Touji? Is Gendou going to cheat on his cute pregnant wife (who will almost have to be played by the same actress as the various Reis) with Ritsuko and her mom? Will Shinji be allowed to oedipally fantasize about all the-- again, fourteen year old-- girls on the cast?

Unless the scriptwriter, director, and producer are willing to portray this story in all its gory beauty, they shouldn't even bother. I can't see them doing *HALF* of the things I listed above, and you really need *ALL* of them to get the story right.
