concert, today

Posted on by

So I went to the Incubus concert last night with Laura, who was sick. We loaded up all her shit into my car, and drove down there … before that, though, I had been informed that there might not be two tickets. So … we got there and found some peepz selling their’s, so we bought 2, and then sold one to some guy [who was “hottt”]. Went into the concert and it was hoppin. The band was really good … the lead guy can really sing, the one guitar guy had big-ass hair, and the mixing guy was the shit. The whole night, though, all I heard was “look at him, no shirt, he’s sOooOooo hot!” … all the teeny-boppers were going goddamn nuts over the singer guy. To each their own … I just went crazy over all the chicks 😉

Anywho, Laura and I chilled up in the front pit for like 25 minutes, but then I had enough, cuz it was fucking brutal … people getting knocked down and stepped on, beat up, crowd surfers falling on their heads … I headbutted Samantha Grabowski [teh grabbar! (inside joke)] … she was there, but she didn’t recognize me. Laura and I talked to her in the back for a while … she completely ignored me cuz … well, I’m me … Laura went back up to the front, and I chilled in the middle. It was fun, but Incubus isn’t my type of music … I think the Orbital concert fit me a lot better than this one. I’m really glad I went though :: I had a great time 😀

Isn’t that the redhead you were drooling over when you were in high school?
2001-11-09 14:01:13 – rand0m
nope … Samantha Garrett was not a redhead, and I only drooled over her for a while. The Grabbar is a 5’2" wanna-be-hippy chick who thinks she’s really smart but isn’t, and consequently has a massive arrogancy complex.

weird day of coincedence [?]

Posted on by

Okay, so this morning I read the thing from Laura, and I’m like “w0o! concert! score!” … I hadn’t discussed it with anyone, but I had lost my lucky sacojawea almost 2 weeks ago, and was pretty bummed. Well, along with the super-nifty news from Laura, I turned around and turned my laptop bag out, and there was my lucky sac! Two nifty things in a row! Score! And then, right when I got into my truck, Train, by Incubus [who I’m seeing tonight], was playing! Another freaky thing! Wow! And then, get this! I’m wearing the super-nifty gap sweater that I got last christmas from the ex, and I saw her sister today on the way to work! What a freaky-ass coinkydink, eh? This day just kicks ass. I’m all stoked and hyper and everything, and have been all day. w0o!

2001-11-08 17:46:11 – here’s a little story
One night, at the lodge of a hunting club, two new members were being introduced to other members and shown around. The man leading them around said, "See that old man asleep in the chair by the fireplace? He is our oldest member and can tell you some hunting stories you’ll never forget." They awakened the old man and asked him to tell them a story. "Well, I remember back in 1944, we went on a lion hunting expedition in Africa. We were on foot and hunted for three days without seeing a thing. On the fourth day, I was so tired I had to rest my feet. I found a fallen tree, so I laid my gun down, propped my head on the tree, and fell asleep. I don’t know how long I was asleep when I was awakened by a noise in the bushes. I was reaching for my gun when the biggest damn lion I’d ever seen jumped out of the bushes at me like this: RRROOAARRR!!! …………I tell you, I just shit my pants." The young men looked astonished and one of them said, "I don’t blame you, I would have shit my pants too if a lion jumped out at me." The old man shook his head and said, "No, no… not back then, just now, when I said RRROOAAARRR!!!"

The Rules of Romance, according to James and Dave 1. It’s not for you, it’s for me. 2. All you have to do is be there. 3. It’s not when you want it, It’s when I want it. 4. Removal of clothing counts as foreplay. 5. When I’m done, Your’re done.
2001-11-09 07:33:47 – Burnz
I didn’t know James and Dave finally hooked up. I am not surprised. Good luck you two! You’ll be so cute together. I’ll get you some knee pads for the wedding.
2001-11-09 10:27:07 – rand0m
Disco, you are fucked up. Goddamn man, just a little respect goes a long way. I bet both of you look like the guy from goatse.cx …

[doh] and a couple other things

So somehow, I completely fucked up the authentication thing. I have zero idea what’s going wrong, but I’ll try and get it to work correctly tonight. Sorry! All the comments and everything will get consolidated into one ‘comments.php’ file as well, instead of being spread across 3 separate files. Should make things a lot smoother for everybody.

On another note, HPI is sucking wind pretty bad — I just might start looking for another job soon, just in case. That’s about the only noteworthy thing going on … other than that the wall between the geekpad people and I is still up, which makes for a semi-boring time of things. Oh, and my insurance company screwed up my insurance and charged me $427.34 for one month instead of my normal [much, much lower] rate. Which is sucky :: fighting with insurance companies really blows. sOo, that’s about it. Oh yea, I was thinking about putting up a communal list of people and their respective aim / msn / icq nicks … yea, nay?

Update: I know you people couldn’t care less, but the authentication / login stuff is fixed. Dunno what to do tonight … rather bored. ideas?

Update 2: I realized something today — crossing class / situational spheres is just a bad idea. Attempting to associate with people who spend the majority of their time doing things that you are not involved in is a prescription for not only disappointment, but also a breeding of contempt. I have found that it really sucks … makes it feel rather hopeless to try and pierce the social-bubbles that surround everyone. At least the weather is getting to be bad, which is definitely good :: I spent about 20 minutes outside tonight, just enjoying the crisp air and the falling micro-ice chunks … I hate wind, but dammit, I love fall.

I manage to pierce most social circles rather well. Maybe your not sociopathic enough

OK, this has nothing to do with randal’s post… (rant mode on) I’m supposed to go to the Incubus concert tonight and due to stupid circumstances, i have to go to the springs afterwards, and have no ride to the springs, unless i forfeit the incubus concert and have my mommy pick me up. despite the fact i have been anticipating this show forever, i’m probably going to have to not go…(rant mode off) unless, randal, or someone, wants to come up here, pick me up, go to the incubus show (free ticket ($35 value), and maybe some taco bell, on me, on the way there or something). I would really really appreciate it. I’m giving you a free incubus ticket. they rock 🙂 and, randal, or whoever, i’ll owe you my first born or something. Pleeeze! please please please.
2001-11-08 09:00:01 – rand0m
w3rd! … Laura, I’ll call you a little later today :: Incubus, WOOOO! I’m there 😀
2001-11-08 09:54:09 – Laura
hell yeah! thanks! weeeee! 😀

My day is going pretty well … I drove all over town running errands and whatnot, and got to sit in on an HPI finance meeting, which was pretty cool [if a little disheartening]. As for the cell phone, it’s now a toss up between AT&T and Voicestream … AT&T cuz they have a good plan (400/unlimited for $40) with tons of coverage, or Voicestream, because they have an obscene plan (3000mins / $50) but not-so-hot coverage. Sound off below … I don’t have much going on … might just chill at the perk, or, get this, at home! ‘night

weekly ups & weekend

Posted on by

The obligatory week-beginning updates are in on the left hand side there, including a new mp3otw and blah blah blah.

So I went to denver this weekend [for the 3rd time in 7 days — jesus christ!] and chilled @ steve’s place on friday night … then we went to a LAN party on saturday, and that was hella fun. HAhahaa, I shoulda taken some pictures, but I didn’t have a camera; it was lots of fun, and I got to meet all the guys from Denver CS … I’m really glad I went. On sunday we fuckin veg’d like nobody’s business. It was cool. We went and got some grub at Chili’s, where I ogled at this particularly fine-ass waitress and then tried to order her for my entree [unsuccessful], then we went and saw Monsters, Inc. … good movie; Pixar really knows their shit. If any chicks want to go see a movie, I’ll see it again 🙂

After dropping my box off downtown, I’m heading home, getting onto the interstate. I’m chillin at the left-turn at bijou and cascade, and this honkin’ jeep wrangler with monster tires and whatnot pulls up next to me. Light turns green, I floor it around the corner, and this goddamn jeep goes too — but doesn’t stay in their lane! So I, in my little tiny ring-a-ding honda am about to get sideswiped by this monster jeep … yea, well no fucking way. So I slam on my breaks and jerk the wheel to the left to get out of his way, and in the process end up sideways on the road … grr … I floor it down behind that mofo, horn blaring, lights flashing. He’s going southbound too … I think they got scared of me, because right before they were turning south, they changed their mind and went the north. Fuckers almost killed me; it was scary as shit.

Update: Forgot to mention that I got a notice in the mail that SprintPCS finally caught on that I am no longer a 3rd-party employee … so either I change to one of their normal cell phone plans, or they disconnect my service on the 14th. The phone hunt is on!

2001-11-05 13:46:06 – The Disco Nova
hehe get a pager, I just got one, and I love it Women, feel free to page me at 328-8303
2001-11-05 14:03:07 – rand0m
I’ve got $1 on the pager being gay.
2001-11-05 14:21:44 – LikwidNyte
Being the most experianced here with what’s gay and what’s not, I’d say that the cell phone is more gay. Afterall, I don’t know anyone (who’s gay) that has a pager. So, if I saw a straight guy with a pager, I’d be pretty sure he was straight unless he was totally flaming, and I know that James isn’t such….but *obviously* that doesn’t mean that everyone with a cell phone is gay….
2001-11-05 14:45:47 – The Disco Nova
okay, I give, who the heck are you?
2001-11-05 14:52:14 – LikwidNyte
duh…..I thought you knew who I was…heh I think no one should tell him, that way he’s left wondering who on here is gay!!!
2001-11-05 15:39:58 – Burnz
Link-whatever the fuck his name is I don’t want to scroll down is Matt Hix. And pager’s are ghetto. I had one and hated it. rand0m, you can have my old one. It is lying somewhere between the springs and fort collins after being used as a highway tiddly wink. And they are fucking up the Transformers. They are making the construct-a-cons all wrong. Someone stop this madness before they do what the Japs did and make Optimus Prime a goddamn Lion or whatever.
2001-11-05 15:48:13 – The Disco Nova
Oh hey matt *wave*. Heh I just got nervous when someone gay knew me and I didn’t know them. You’re okay though 🙂
2001-11-05 15:53:10 – rand0m
[notices Disco’s attempt at hiding his male lover] … so … disco … how about them texan steers? 😉 … also, there is no way I’m getting a pager. Talk about suck. Even though i’m sure their 1/10th the cost and are almost as functional, they’re just not as good. Plus, a cell phone can act like a pager too. And they make cell phones that are about the size of a pager. See? Can’t lose 😀
2001-11-05 15:54:35 – The Disco Nova
bah, if I’m away from home, I prolly don’t want to talk to you anyways, so a pager does fine.
2001-11-05 15:56:09 – Master Ha-reed
OK… whats w/ some Denver CS dude having a handle named after a Palmer teacher? I know it’s probably coincidence… but that just seems weird. Go there if you don’t believe me ….. http://www.denvercs.com/stats/d1/P_Todd_Hegert.html
2001-11-05 19:51:48 – cosmosmoon
Randal, have you ever noticed that all your sidebar comments are incredibly pessimistic and depressing? Ever have a good day? Oh, and also, pagers are evil. They are satan. Go for the cell phone.
2001-11-05 20:56:50 – GrooveMan
Hey first post w/ the new logon script…. Groovy 😀 non-edited
2001-11-05 21:07:37 – rand0m
Well, yea, you’re right, they are mostly downers … I don’t know why, really, they’re almost always things that just happen to pop into my head while I’m updating the rest of the sidebar. As for good days, yes, I have good days quite often. And yes, I will be getting a different cell 🙂
2001-11-05 21:32:06 – Burnz
I would much rather hear the problems in your life than have that damn sidebar say something like "Vending machines can truly be a good source of income if correctly placed. Stores, and even restaurants utilize these functional devices in amazing ways. They put them slightly outside of the cash registers, thus right after a cahs purchase you are most likely juggling your groceries and thinking of what to do with the quarters in your hand. A master-work of impulse!" At least pessimism is engaging. Why did I put all that? Loser.
2001-11-05 23:27:50 – The Disco Nova
Randalls problem is that he doesn’t socialize enough with happy people. Almost all my friends are happy people. Btw Randall, if you can get a fake ID by the 17th you can come to my birthday party. My birthday is actually on the 8th, but me and dave have birthdays close together, so we are doing a dual party to keep costs down for the people who aare throwing it for us.
2001-11-05 23:50:55 – rand0m
wtf do you mean I don’t socialize enough with happy people? hat’s all I do … sheesh … Dave is not a happy person. He’s scary … As for your birthday party, you find me a place to get a fake and I’ll buy it. If I come, will you give me my power brick back?
2001-11-06 01:18:52 – The Disco Nova
Dave is very happy, he just enjoyed yanking the chain of people he thinks are wound up too tight (ie you). I enjoy the same things, I just have mercy on you for some reason. As for my party, yes I’ll give you your brick back. I’m actually thinking of trying to get you in simply on my looks and personality, but it’s a long shot, not sure how they would react to my asking. Although I do have a VIP card and spend 100 bucks a week there….
2001-11-06 01:19:57 – The Disco Nova
And I’ve met some of the people you socialize with, chemically induced happiness doesn’t count.
2001-11-06 09:59:46 – The Disco X
fianlly got AIM at work, my screen name is "The Disco X", someone send me a friends list 🙂
2001-11-06 15:54:43 – Phoenix
Hey Randall, What’s up bro… It was great meeting you at Travis’s party Friday nite, thanks for helping me overclock my PC. When I left the Saturday lan party you were snoring at 120 decibels, sacked out on a couch near the DU ballroom. I made Tony promise me that he wouldn’t let anyone "take advantage" of you while you were sleeping so soundly. HAHAH Cya l8r man.
2001-11-06 16:02:10 – rand0m
yea, I was completely konked out on that couch … taco and a couple other guys eventually throw a carpet on me … I didn’t notice [or wake up] for like 5 minutes 😉
2001-11-06 19:09:15 – Laura
Can I have authorization level 69? pleeeze? hehe

wow, denver again & misc

Posted on by

Okay, so right now I’m in Denver [again!] for a LAN Party on saturday. w0o … yes, I know it’s extremely nerdy, but hey, there isn’t much else to do this weekend. My parents came back from their trip, it was pretty nice to see them. Apparently I am meeting up with my sister for christmas … dunno about all that, though.

Was at the downtown perk today and saw Jackie Q — Janelle’s friend — and I found out that she works at the north pikes perk. That’s pretty interesting; I only go there whenever I want to get away from people; it’ll be a little weird knowing somebody there. Don’t ask me why it’s weird, because it really isn’t *that* weird, but it is interesting. In other Janelle news, apparently Tony saw her & her friend Ari downtown on Halloween, and she was a real bitch to him … dunno how much credit I put on that, but I don’t see it as impossible.

There was something else that’s interesting, but I forgot. As much as spite and hate make for [not good] conversation, I don’t think I like it. Indeed, I’m not a real hateful person … quite the opposite in fact. I’m so damn happy-scrumptious that I can’t believe that people don’t adore me. I think most people *do* adore me, they just don’t know it yet.

Okay, and another pretty big thing in my life — I’m looking at getting a mustang, which would necessitate selling my truck, or keeping the truck and getting a motorcycle in the spring. Due to financing school and everything, it’s one or the other. Ideas?

2001-11-03 04:00:17 – Burnz
Yeah, pull several thousand out of thin air, sprinkle some fairy dust on it and then come to the conclusion that it isn’t going to happen. Horrid night, pardon my hostile pessimism.
2001-11-04 05:59:50 – realbighead
2 red bulls, 6 hours, and 5 pages of single-spaced Times New Roman essay later… wow. The world is really odd right now. Taking a quick break from the writing (not many pages to go), figured I’d de-lurk and post something nasty and bitter, but hopefully sarcastic nonetheless. more power to you for LANning… fuck the man, and all that. I don’t doubt that Janelle was a bitch to Tony, but I’d forgive her for it, cuz I’m probably worse when I run into him. And yes, I adore you, but mostly for that tight ass; don’t ever lose that, especially not if you want to survive prison. Mustang = silly, motorcycle in colorado = silly. Moving out = good idea. Saving up for more school = good idea. I just dunno why you need different vehicular shizzat going down; if you really need it in your life now, though, I’d have to go with the mustang, because, while not the best car for a mountainous snowy region, at least it’s a car. With walls and doors and stuff. Again, don’t quite see your need for it, but if it’s what you want, das coo. And now, back into the rapidly-turning-psychotic 5-guys-on-red-bull paper-writing period in Tore’s house. Missed the bitter sarcasm, but oh well. Your dick’s tiny. How’s that?
2001-11-04 11:23:15 – The Disco Nova
wanna go see "The One" tonight with me and dave, randall?
2001-11-04 12:48:39 – rand0m
nope … not only is it a terrible movie, but it’s my day off, and I’m not doing anything. Unless you’re female, in which case exceptions can be made 😉
2001-11-04 18:18:16 – Likwidnyte
Randal… The oakenfold tixs charged to my account. So, while I don’t have them in hand, I know for sure that I’m getting them. You were talking about paypal…I now have an account because I had to purchase other tickets that way cause I won them off eBay. Also, like I said, they were $71.90
2001-11-04 20:16:39 – Laura
mustangs suck…if i were you, i’d go for a pretty new honda or toyota, they’ll last longer and they’re not ugly. the only reason to get a mustang is…well, actually, i don’t know why anyone would get one…my $.02
2001-11-04 20:33:01 – rand0m
now, are you saying all mustangs suck, or just a particular series? if you’re sporting that the 196x series sucks, I’m going to have to run away and cry like a ninny. What kind of honda/toyota are you talking about? That’s all …
2001-11-04 22:41:42 – The Disco Nova
The One was a cool movie. Not much of a story, but it looked cool. And even if you get a mustang, my car will still be faster than yours 🙂
2001-11-05 01:41:03 – Laura
Any Mustang built in the last 20-30 years sucks…go cry like a ninny, you bastard. 🙂 i say that in an all loving way. when i see a mustang, i say one of a few things: either the person drving it is 16, their parents bought it for them, and they want to look cool for the cheerleaders, or they didn’t have enough money to buy a nice fast car. either way, not a good thing 😛 save up for a good car, or get like a nice car that gets good gas milage, but still goes fast and doesn’t look like someone took a huge colorful shit.
2001-11-05 02:49:18 – CaptnSpectacular
on a side note, why do you steal my ideas for mp3’s of the week? First weezer, now daft punk…what next? 😉 mark
2001-11-05 10:57:30 – rand0m
well, just an FYI, a 1966 Mustang Fastback is more than 30 years old! So HA! WOOOO Mustangs! Seriously though, if I do anything, it will be drive my POS truck until it dies, sell it and get an equally crappy car. w0o! I think I’ll get a motorcycle in the spring, though. That’s just cool. and sorry mark, I’m such an mp3otw whore. I’ll try to never [coincedentally] do it again.

halloween & denver trip [again]

Posted on by

So today is Halloween, yeehaa! That’s all I really have to say about it. I have no plans for tonight, none, zip, zero :: I’ll probably go home and not pass out candy, but rather watch some TV and sleep. How exciting, right? Well, if you want to change this painfully boring situation, please do so by sending me an e-mail with suggestions on what to do / attend.

Went to Denver last night, and attended the AMD AthlonXP roadshow and had a really good time. Stayed up the whole night, showed up at 5:20am and proceeded so scream myself hoarse trying to win free stuff. It didn’t work. Steve won an AMD AthlonXP 1800 + motherboard, which is really cool, since he took us out to breakfast to celebrate. I was by far the best fan / devotee / loud-obnoxious-guy in the crowd, so I got the announcer guy’s card along with his acknowledgement that I just might get some free stuff. That’s cool.

I am discontent with the amount of squabbling, *not* good arguments, but dick-swinging squabbles, that my site generates. I don’t know what to do … logins? moderation? I don’t know. Ideas?

2001-10-31 14:57:36 – realbighead
Free shit is always good. And I dunno whether I would see the discussion Burnz and I are having as a squabble; it seems useful to me, but either way, I’ll try to catch him on AIM or e-mail him or use his forums or something from now on. P.S. The analogy was not meant to go quite so far; the average high-schooler in the backseat with his girlfriend is usually exceedingly inept; it was just an indication of the extent of your ineptitude in making the analogy. Besides, it was supposed to be a comical image, not a literalism. Jeez.

I need to get it from you sometime [soon] … … … as for Bastard’s watch, I think he might get it on friday night [?] maybe saturday, depending on when the trip to denver is made. realbighead … I got $3. My Halloween was … get home at 7, watch startrek for 5 minutes, fall asleep until 8am. Wow. 😉 gOooOoooooo Laura!

hey burnz, learn to spell "undesirable". Dork.
2001-11-01 20:04:35 – tony
if you rearrange "realbighead" you get: Gerbil Ahead think about that

Obviously you’ve thought about that enough for all of us. Thanks, though. 😉
2001-11-02 04:49:43 – Burnz
Oh my god, not a miniscule grammatical error on this forum! It surely is the first. Jesus Christ. Go make another 80’s style mom joke cock-gobbler.
2001-11-02 10:24:15 – rand0m
Matt, sorry to tell you buddy, but [asshole mode on] that isn’t a grammatical error. It is a spelling error. [asshole mode off] I think I’ll post something, but I don’t know what. Maybe something scathing.
2001-11-02 14:49:35 – Burnz
Since when is spelling not part of grammar? They went and got divorced? Broken English homes are rough on writers. I was learned that spelling is a subsection of grammar. But way to nit pick it, I’ll go get Janelle if I need that. Thanks you fucking sticklers for COMMENT CORRECTNESS. God for fucking bid that I make not one error, but one and one semantical possible error. Someone’s little balls are getting cut the fuck off, just test me.

even though his response to your post was equally rife with poor grammar?
2001-11-02 17:18:07 – rand0m
yes, even with his horrible grammar. those damn authors and their horrible illiteracy. 😉

*sighs* someday you will understand the nuance of sarcasm. Until then stop wasting my time acting like little cunt mouthed fucks over saying obviously intentional things like "was learned that". And yes, this has bad grammar too, and I will continue to post with bad grammar, which I would put far above your act of posting with bad content.

not-so & random musings

Posted on by

Okay, so I have this e-mail exchange with a person, where they say something to the effect of “how I treat people has changed” … and that’s all they say. So of course, my next question is “like how?” … how they responded to that is really unimportant cuz it’s obviously a problem on their part … I’m concerned about me :: Should I be so inquisitive? Like, if someone says something that is obviously something of interest to me, is it decent to persue that topic further? Or should I just let it go and make assumptions? I hate assumptions. They make people think waaay too much or not enough. I really like to have definition … so … good to be questioning, or better to let things rest?

Man, today is a good day. Drove up to denver [where I’m posting from] — the nice, warm sun, the open road, the tasty sounding drone of the engine. Quite enjoyable. Gonna go see “K-Pax” tonight with Steve up here — I’ll have a review when I’m done.

Today Steve had a wasp fly up his pants while I was talking to him on AIM. He had to take his pants off to get it out, then he Lysol’d it to death. Go steve! The second part is from a conversation with Tore — we were talking about how wit and sarcasm do not inspire conversation here, only hate and spite. That really sucks. Oh well. Because of that, you all suck and should all go rot in hell for your various downfalls. 😉

Update: Decided to stay the night in Denver — back in the springs in the morning.
Update 2: Yup, 3pm and still in Denver. I’m heading back soon though, so … if anyone wants to do anything, let me know. 964.4504

Ahhhhh, Randall, you are becoming well versed in the arts of the dark side. More like me you become everyday. Feel the anger and rage inside your heart, it makes you powerful.
2001-10-27 22:58:29 – Burnz
While I am overjoyed to be able to express my tumult of spiteful feelings, it would be nice for a hug. Please, one little one? Now you see, no one will say anything to that. But this: rand0m, I am tired of your constant questioning. It is like being in a goddamn inquisition to be around you. You should just save time, tie me to a chair in a room with a bare bulb and one-way glass and just fucking beat answers out of me….that was too clever and sarcastic wasn’t it? No, honestly you should question. It avoids later ambiguity on a matter, and furthers understanding. Not to mention people like me who have massive goddamn egos to feed then feel able to go on and on and on about whatever occurs to them. Keep it up and I will have to lie on a couch when I talk to you. And being a walking heartbreak does not a dark-sider make. But if you start keeping a litter of rattlesnakes, uncaged, in your basement we might consider an internship. (checks with the council who nods their cowled heads approvingly causing their fleshless spines to make a dull scraping/rattling sound.) And once again be specific about what my downfalls are, idiot, did I just not get done telling you that? I am off tonight and bored so this is what I do…*sigh*
2001-10-28 15:41:40 – rand0m
Okay Burnz, you can have a hug. But only one, you fuckhead. Seriously, how the hell can you get tired of questioning? It’s not like these are bonehead questions — these are introspective, makes-you-think-and-shit questions. And yes, much to clever :: more lethal spite is definitely in need. See, that’s my take :: actually getting real answers out of someone that are specific and to the point really clears everything up down the road. To be honest, I think that wanting to have things be very clear is pretty admirable; not only does it avoid confusion, but it also gives everybody the opportunity to share to-the-point information without a ton of bush-beating. And Burnz, I must say that your penchant for talking about attending regular psychiatric counselling is quite disturbing 😉
2001-10-28 21:05:47 – Laura
I think you mistake introspective questions for important questions…sometimes they’re the same, sometimes they’re not. for example, an important question may be "what is that 12 foot tall chicken with glowing red eyes doing on the front lawn?" this is not very introspective, yet is probably more important than figuring your life out. sometimes, i think you like to think the way you do things is honorable ("things to be very clear is admirable") all the time, not to say it’s not, but still, you do lot’s of things to confuse and astound people and make them give you wierd looks. i mean, you can all be as intellectual as you want, but it doesn’t necessarily make you smarter, nicer, hotter, or better people…it probably just gets annoying….whateva’. i’m tired
2001-10-29 08:58:51 – realbighead
wurd up wid dat, l-dawg. I think laura has it mostly right; you spend a lot of time considering yourself, without any real reason to. You went on a massive introspection trip like a year and a half ago and since then it just gets more difficult to converse with you, because you start making "deep" thoughts like your rand0m note in the sidebar. You’ve been saying that for a year. Get over it already. On a less-critical note, you still wanna come down for a coupla days around thanksgiving and give me a ride back to the springs or somethin?

man, people are whack

Okay, so I have recieved the definite impression that people would rather be directly insulted instead of having their downfalls generalized. See, that got me to thinking — why the hell do people want to hear about how much they suck? Do they like it? I know that for me, hearing how much I suck usually turns me into a “I hate you and I’m not listening” glass-eyed zombie. But, as of late [oh, what? the past year?], hearing people rag on me just gives me some fodder for potential self-improvement. sOooOOoo, from now on, I will try not to insult anyone generally. Only personal attacks. However, I will continue to not post personal things about myself or other people. This will be quite the task. Wish me luck. What, you’re going to tell me now that I suck because i need luck? Fuck you.

[potentially dangerous personal divulgence here]. w0o!

You know what I hate? Goddamn board members. Two business sharks have bought out like 80% of High Plains Internet stocks … hence, they basically control everything, but run nothing. That’s their thing, though — they put 3 new people on the board who will supposedly be interfacing the board with the grunts [who is just me] … basically some administration folks. Well, I’ll tell you what. This guy, who is supposedly some networking ph0ol, comes in yesterday and starts telling me how we need to change our whole network around, because it’s not efficient. I asked him how it’s not efficient, and if there are any glaring defficiencies in our current design … [silence] … well, it turns out that he knows bob and larry well, and convinced them that his electrical wiring skills also constitute network and systems administration. I fucking hate that. People all up in other people’s business, right where they don’t belong. How about I keep doing the same damn job I’ve been doing forever and you leave me the fuck alone until there’s a problem, ok? w3rd.

Other than that, mad props to all the loyal readers out there who came out of the woodwork when the ferocity started to finally flow again. rockthehizouse!

Update: I’m looking for someone to re-do the top blue-banner part. Look at the source and e-mail me your ideas!

2001-10-25 05:18:39 – Laura
Randal, your take on femininity (Rand0m notes, top left corner), or whatever it is, sucks big fat ass. Maybe you should step out of the darkness. and yes, i know it’s going to make all of you bitch. so, maybe all of you should get the fuck out of the dark! WOO!
2001-10-25 07:23:30 – Burnz
I don’t know. While I can totally appreciate the need for women to compete with men in many workplaces, and often discard their feminine wiles in doing so, thus making them more like their male counterparts for the sake of winning. I can also say that when they do so they lost a lot of what I personally find attractive about them. I don’t date men partially because I am not attracted to them physically, but also I have not found many with attributes that I desire in a romantic partner. I could list them here, but I say women are naturally free to do whatever the hell the want with their lives, I would rather be alone than settle for some of the disturbingly masculine features in the lives of those females I have seen do what it is rand0m is talking about. Yes, I am a chauvenist. Not the biggest one. I am not about women being on their back all day or "in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant" but if I ever make a crack like this: "I would be worried about whipping my dick out and having her go ‘that is nothing’ and then exposing her gigantic member" about some woman, it means that while she might be my first choice for a baseball shortstop or drinking buddy/ tag-team fisticuffs partner I wouldn’t date her if she had a goddamn dowry. And I think that it rolls both ways a lot of times. We seek that which we are not. A girl I work with, Kara, and I were talking about a subject like this. She doesn’t want a guy’s guy. She said the fella that has her eye is nice, and sweet, and quiet. Kara’s great, and hits as hard as I do, and has 0 interest in me as I have 0 in her. I don’t know if this is universal or not but….It isn’t in the dark to think that way, it is caring about someone for who they are and when who they are is synonymous with feminine then….

*obligatory shudder at the tought of men as romantic partners* WOmen who like to compete are good. If only because most forms of competition make women produce testosterone, which leads to them getting horny, which leads to me getting sex. If you wanna get laid, find some excuse to start wrestling with a woman, they love it, and it gets them horny.

2001-10-25 18:46:22 – realbighead
I agree with that third proposition, as long as there are some really sharp rocks under the bridge to cushion your fall. The other two I’m ambivalent towards, as long as they don’t delay Option Number 3.
2001-10-25 19:18:08 – rand0m
HAhAHAhAhahaaha …. a little spite here?
2001-10-25 20:19:28 – tony
Tony cries… and listens to, Pet Shop Boys-What have I done to deserve this. sniff, sniff, and I always thought I was friends with tore, sniff, sniff, I mean, he has all these exceptional qualities you would look for in a friend, sniff, sniff, right?, sniff, sniff, like, hairy palms, squinty eyes, wrist strain….
2001-10-25 22:58:42 – rand0m
bah, such pettiness is unbecoming for both of you.
2001-10-25 23:17:42 – realbighead
That comment wasn’t meant to be spiteful or petty; it was more mocking of a stupid angsty comment designed to draw attention to oneself, something along the lines of "yes, tony, only trent knows how you feel". Except more bitter. Kinda like handing a straight razor to someone trying to slash their wrists with a safety Bic. Know what I mean?
2001-10-26 00:21:38 – alter-bastard
No, I don’t know what you mean, you altruistic fuckhead. I seriously think that your obviously inexperienced comments about angst and depression are signs that you are a feeble minded assclown. You should take your psuedo-dislike and blatantly psychotic ideals and fundamentalistic ideals and ram them up your ass, along with your head. btw, why do you block me on aim?
2001-10-26 00:40:12 – The Disco Nova
I’m so happy. Why can’t everyone be happy like me?
2001-10-26 00:53:07 – rand0m
Because, Disco, unlike you, we’re not drunk. [yet] 😉
2001-10-26 05:36:28 – Laura
Tore and Tony just need to figurre out what’s going on…jesus, it’s petty. Also, Randal, I’ll agree that women shouldn’t have to compromise their feminity to become equal (basically trying to become male, the societal norm), we should just be equal. And, women would probably be in a much better place if men weren’t there to drool on them. Less objectified, etc. And, yes, our breasts are nice, that’s why they’re ours, and not yours, you bastards.
2001-10-26 05:43:45 – Burnz
I have nothing to say on this matter. Judge Hatchett, go off and try to genetically undo the inbreeding. This was just to let everyone know that I am bored…amuse me with your banter. (waves hand dismissivly….how do you spell that? dismissively? dizmizziffically mah nigga?) And tore, play nice, we all know that negative attention is what he craves, just ignore him. Look at my Jung ass. And you are in love with your father, or have an innate fear of $1 dollar billz because of the sexual attraction you cannot deny to your house plant. This conversation sucks, no offense to the contributors, it is the topic. You did all you could. Shut up me.
2001-10-26 09:10:18 – realbighead
I prefer to think of myself more as a misanthropic fuckhead, thank you very much. and I block you cuz otherwise I have to listen to boring overblown monologue involving such fantastic word usage as "fundamentalistic". And I have yet to see how it’s petty; if anyone came onto the boards saying stupid shit like that, I’d attack them and call them pussy just as often; it’s just that Tony’s more likely than others to say stupid shit.
2001-10-26 13:50:44 – tony
Until I stop disassociating with the likes of tore, even in the bowels of such a anarchistic (sic), it is evident through past discussions, that pettiness is the obviated choice of language; furthermore, it is quite enjoyable to engage in this bullshit, like squeezing a rubber ball; so until I tire of kicking the ball, or find myself moving to Oregon, there is no need to "cut it out". It really is so much better to use semicolons than periods, don’t you think!
2001-10-26 17:07:24 – rand0m
I’m thinking about going to Oregon. In fact, something along those lines is planned for spring break 🙂 w0o! /me plans to buy a mustang soon. w0o again!

/me thinks road trip to seattle is better idea, due to a) free housing, b) free food, and c) fewer hicks
2001-10-26 19:08:15 – rand0m
free housing and free food? wtf are you talking about?

Attention Rand0m.org’ers … We have recieved multiple complaints about the unconstitued bitching eminitating from this wesbsite. Further complaints will cause a revocation of posting rights, and further tauntings by the geekpad residents. Keep the bitching down to a minimum, and no one will get hurt. -Tim
2001-10-27 00:09:00 – realbighead
oh no, not the geekpad residents, please not the geekpad residents. and by free shit, I mean that the lead singer’s rich parents live in Seattle, and the lead singer, as a result, has a well-stocked basement for general use by, say, us. So there.

To go off the subject, i need advice for a halloween costume. i don’t want to look like a total ho, but i don’t want to dress in a mumu (sp?). most of you know what i look like…also, i don’t want to be a playboy bunny, cheerleader, or whatever…something semi-creative is good. anyway, whatever…i’m stuck.
2001-10-27 04:51:45 – Burnz
Jesus holy hell shit ballz! They might talk tech at us and smoke a bowl at us. If worse comes to worse, and I fear to utter it, but they could possibly post something off-color about us on their uber-important website! Please, perish the thought mighty geekpadites. I will sacrifice a virgin to you! /me grabs any of the geekpad residents and sacrifices him.
