Seems like I’ve written more than that. Still interesting, though.

Last night was fun. Had a great time and tried the absinthe, as well. After about two seconds googling, I found that the FDA allowed absinthe to be imported to the US, but only if it contained 10ppm or less of thujone. That translates to about 10 milligrams of thujone per liter. Traditional absinthe was about 100 milligrams per liter, so the effect of the absinthe I purchased was more of making you drunk easier. However, it tasted damned good, and the louching was a really cool thing to watch. Would definitely try it again, just need to get a decent glass and some sugar cubes.

Apparently I was afk for “Free Website Stress Test Day”. That’s too bad, too, since I liked watching it get pummeled by far more than just “3500 Unique Visitors”. Would love to download the raw data on this one. Wonder who gave me these pings of love…

Note: Typical users will have javascript enabled in their browsers. The Google Analytics side reveals that the 3500 requests shown by cloudflare were just bare requests, no js executed or cookies- Nothing. Just someone saying “hello”. Interesting, nonetheless.

Anonymous has had some bad eggs in it’s time. There have been violent adherents, bad ideas, and blemishes all around. The spirit of revolution and change for the better has been pock marked by bad decisions due to a select few not following any ethical path. Though the movement is large and diverse, with many participants. “The Internet Hate Machine” as it was once known is dead, they’re now just a bunch of kids wanting governments and corporations to behave- or else.

Look ma, I’m into therapeutic Photoshopping again! Found a neat little Java game online called Hell of Sand and thought I’d throw together a two minute image based on the game. Yes, this is what I do when I’m bored, should I ever get enough time to be bored.

What do you think? Should I do it? If I do it, I’ll write about it. Ought to be a fun time, right? Maybe it’s good for getting rid of headaches. I’ve been having insane headaches lately. If it sucks, at least it was pretty cheap.

UPDATE: I’m going to be saving this for another day, when I have cause to celebrate rather than drown my issues.

Having major depression sucks. I don’t remember how many times I’ve been diagnosed with major depression, but I do know that I’ve been on countless medications with countless horrible side effects and I’ve run the gamut on pills, some that people have never heard of. I’ve gone unmedicated for over two years now. Being unmedicated has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs. During peak times, things are amazing. I can more than function, I can succeed and overcome any obstacle. When the lowest points are hit, everything becomes an obstacle. Getting up in the morning is an obstacle. Getting out of bed is an obstacle. I can barely bring myself to keep in touch with people, everything turns into bitterness and hatred. When I’m happy, I’m an asshole because it’s fun. When I’m feeling horrible, I’m an asshole because it’s a self defense mechanism. Yes, I’m admitting to being an asshole, but at least I’m not always wrong when I’m an asshole.

The first issue I think that ought to be tackled would be confusing simple words with one another. I don’t understand it, but people seem to have completely lost the ability to discern “you’re” from “your” and “its” from “it’s”. “Their”, “there”, and “they’re” are also commonly abused. I’ll break it down for you.

##It’s and Its##

It’s

Conjunction. “It is”.

Use: “It’s cold out.” Or “It’s stupid of you to fuck this sentence up.”

Its

Adjective. Belonging to or associated with a thing previously mentioned.

“A faggot in its natural state will ignore this blog entry.”

Alright. We good with these two? You kids understand these two yet? Yeah, we’ll see how much your tweets are impacted. I’m beginning to think I should just drink before reading your tweets. Just saying.
