Implicit Truths

They’re like eyes ¨, you’re looking at them and they’re looking at you. Not really, they’re an attempt at looking Teutonic. I suppose if they wanted to be Norse they’d go and stick an ø everywhere they could. Then you’d get a band that looked like this Mötørhead or something, which makes no sense because that’s not the name. That isn’t even pronounceable by any sane person. But it still looks cool.

Can you? Do things just pop into your head when you’re just sitting there wondering what to do? Are you seized by the passion to put some words to paper and make them spin through other peoples’ heads? I’m not. It doesn’t drive me, creation powers my soul but words don’t flow like other things do — unfinished thoughts that spiral into meaningless little whorls of nonsense. If only I could make another think what I think without a flawed medium to prism my ideas through, there are impurities, defects and downright inaccuracies. Whose fault is an improperly understood sentence? It’s not mine, I cannot speak. Language was never something I was good at. Fit electrodes in my head, let them shock my brain, read my thoughts…

…because they’re beautiful and I want to share.

I use the -moz-border-radius extensions to CSS on this page. I suppose I rationalise saying that it’s open-source, anybody can implement it if they want it. Of course, that’s not right. It never is. There’s a standard, so support it. Beats me why Firefox won’t handle the proper CSS3 for defining curved borders. I can imagine it must be nicer. I will do that as soon as it works. Why am I still on Firefox 2? Because 3 is still beta and I can’t stand that funny ‘awesome bar’ or whatever they’re calling it now.

Of course IE is just evil and should be killed with a fat spoon.

You live in constant fear of an enemy that your very cowardice has created. Face other people like men, stand up and show that you can see them as an equal without fear of being shown up. Haven’t done that so far, and now everyone looks down on you for your ignorance and your arrogance, typical of a ‘fly on a cartwheel’ as a popular politician/cricketer/commentator/clobberer of the aged would have said. You kill the women and children and the young men who want nothing but a bright future and you drive them to their doom. And yours. I hope you enjoy yourself, scared of LEDs, of wires, oppressing yourself in the quest for liberation. You’ve created your own Atlas’ load, and you bear it with little fortitude. You’re useless in every form, violent kids yelling for attention. Go away.

And if you ask me to do something for you, I will snap at you, and then you’ll get upset and I get the couch. How is that fair? I was the one who wanted to sleep in the first place. Never mind, I’m the one who cares, and I’ll make it up to you and apologise. You have it easy. Well, maybe I’m a sucker for punishment, because I know I can’t believe my luck, little as it is.

You know, the bears are on the wing now. They’re coming round the mountain as they come, and they like the white of your flags and the sun you bear on your banners.

I was offered a bonus from the “Central Bank of Nigeria” recently, under a section that was amended six years before it was brought into existence. As interesting as that bit is, the bank did claim that they did trade between cotinents - and I am not a tinent, co or otherwise, so I had to decline. If any of you would rather take Dr. John Williams up on his offer then please do send in all of your most sensitive details (you wouldn’t want them to be accidentally mixed up so that someone else gets their account stolen, would you?) for a weird process described only as “verificationa”. Sharing is caring.

Meanwhile, the advertisement underneath this nice offer seems to be for a Spanish ISP owned by T-Mobile. I didn’t know Nigeria was part of Spain these days. Ah well.

Maybe George could use the money to buy himself a new laptop. Splurging, I see. It’ll be good if it’s not as Linux-compatible as his HP Compaq NX 7300.

This mystifying currency has made a comeback. I was recently authorised by a good friend, Rev. Jerry Benson (who uses the email address mike_dd01@ekolay.net, in order to emphasise that he prefers his microphones sent by demand draft) to receive 2.5 million dollars US dollars. To date, I have received a large amount of money from these benefactors of mine, and I thank God that they believe me to hold such potential. Strangely, they all wish me to avoid some sort of operation referred to only as “COMMINUCATION” which, I believe, causes hitches when trying to get the money. Why was that operation invented anyway?
