Revolution

Yeah I know its been over a month since I updated, but I was flipping through the old HD and I found something that I found probably about a year ago floating around the web.

Revolution is not an AOL Keyword*
You will not be able to stay home, dear Netizen.
You will not be able to plug in, log on and opt out.
You will not be able to lose yourself in Final Fantasy,
Or hold your Kazaa download queues,
Because revolution is not an AOL Keyword.

Revolution is not an AOL Keyword.
Revolution will not be brought to you on Hi-Def TV
Encrypted with a warning from the FBI.
Revolution will not have a jpeg slideshow of Dubya
Calling the cattle and leading the incursion by
Secretary Rumsfeld, General Ashcroft and Dick Cheney
Riding nuclear warheads on their way to Iraq,
Or North Korea, or Iran.

Revolution is not an AOL Keyword.

And will not star Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee
Or Larry Lessig and Martha Stewart.

Revolution will not promise penile enlargement.
Revolution will not get rid of spam.
Revolution will not earn you up to $5000 a month
Working from home, because revolution is not
An AOL Keyword, Brother.

There will be no screen grabs of you and
Jeeves the Butler one-click shopping at My Yahoo,
Or outbidding a shady grandma on eBay for
That refurbished iPod 20-gig.
MSNBC.com will not predict election results in Florida
Or fact-check the Drudge Report.
Revolution is not an AOL Keyword.

There will be no webcast of Wil Wheaton boxing
Barney the Dinosaur on the dancefloor at DNA.
There will be no mob- or wiki- blog of Richard Stallman
Strolling through Redmond in a medieval robe and halo
As St. iGNUcious of the Church of Emacs
That he has been saving
For just the proper occasion.

Survivor, The Osbournes, and Joe Millionaire
Will no longer be so damned relevant, and
People will not care if Carrie hooks up again with
Mr. Big on Sex and the City because Information
Wants To Be Free even while Knowledge Is Power.
Revolution is not an AOL Keyword.

There will be no final pictures from inside the
World Trade Center in the instant replay.

And Mickey Mouse in the public domain.
The theme song will not be written by Jack Valenti or
Hilary Rosen, nor sung by Metallica, Dr. Dre,
Christina Aguilera, Matchbox 20, or Blink-182.
Revolution is not an AOL Keyword.

Revolution will not be right back after
Pop-up ads about eCommerce, eTailers, or eContent.
You will not have to worry about a
Cookie in your browser, a bug in your email, or a
Worm in your recycling bin.
Revolution will not run faster with Intel inside.
Revolution, dude, is not getting a Dell.
Revolution will increase your Google rank.

Revolution is not an AOL Keyword, is not an AOL Keyword,
Is not an AOL Keyword, is not an AOL Keyword.
Revolution will be no stream or download, dear Netizen;
Revolution must still be live.

Updates

Even though noone ever reads this, I just added the links to my favorite blogs on the side bar. I will be adding links to my favorite comics soon. I founds these blogs using the little button in the top right corner "Next Blog". I sugest you try it sometime. Just run your Spyware software afterwards. For some reason some of the site will infect you like none other. Other then that, there are some great blogs out there. Explore.

Thanks for your time.

Friends

I was driving home the other day and was thinking about how good it would be to see all my friends again. Fly Ryan back from vegas and Katie up from Texas. Gather them all up north, have a dinner. I would stand up of course and thank them all, for being able to show up and for helping me become who I am today. I reality I just want to see all of them again, in one place, and well drink and be merry. Ever since I moved down here, I have missed everyone. I suppose I will see a handfull of them come high school reunion time. Well a hand full and then some, but most I will hardly ever see, and some I will never see again.



I got my gmail acct to day I am so freaking happy. I love it! Now if ppl would just e-mail me there...........

Thanks for your time.

Just to bring you up to speed.....

This last weekend I went back to my home town to mow the yeard of the house we are trying to sell up there and to help paint. While up there I ran in to my ex who wanted to drive around and talk about her new bf and ho much she missed me.... yadda yadda yadda. During this straind exchange of words I realized that I kinda missed her, which doesnt surprise me, she was one of my first loves, well the first that I knew loved me back instead of just playing with my head. Any how after that I went to the bowling alley. The hub of all that is exciting in the town. God I hate that place. any how sat there, got mildly drunk, got into discussions involving training horses for races, and football. Two subjects that I know almost nothing about. That was the highlight of the night, scary isnt it. Any how the "alley" closed and it was time to leave. On to the disfunctional house party. While at the party, I got into conversations involving the familys of almost every drunk there, and had to listen to them explain about stuff I already knew. At least after that I was alowed to head to the house and pass out. Driving back sunday night I realized that the reason I watch drama on tv like Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, and The OC is for drama. living up there, it becase a big part of my life that I now need it to continue. I can hear some of you out there in internet land saying real laife isnt that dramatic. Well it was and the story lines changed at least weekly and crossed over all the time. Actually watching all this is nice, I get the drama with out having to realize the impact on my life, nor explain to some one why there life now sucks cuz they screwed up. Although I must admit I do miss being the person that everyone went to when they had a problem


Thanks for your time

Let me try this again......

OK, to the one person (counting me) who reads this, I'm sorry for the delay in posts. The test didnt turn out how I had hoped. If you averaged the points over the question I missed by like 3 or 4 I dont really remmeber. Since then I have been brousing blogs on blogger and have found a couple favs that I will share. Plus I will also link the comics that i read and sugest that you (me) check them out some time. Other then that, If I can convince myself and use a little self motovation I'll try to make this a daily blog but an interesting one.


Thanks for your time.
