We can still stop it people!

Twittering that is. Leave it to Americans to take something like that internet that gives you the freedom to express yourself for others to share in and make it as mind numbingly simple as they can. What was the thought process behind this? No one can be sure what vile form of douchbaggery spawned it, but it might have gone something like this.

Blogging? You mean I have to actually write things in paragraph form, what is this school? Myspace, Facebook, I'm more familiar with this as it's just a giant popularity contest, but downloading ass loads of stupid applications just takes so much time. If only there was a way to share inane text messages about the stupid shit I'm doing every minute of the day with tons of people. At this point a light bulb went on over the theoritical persons head, only to cause a massive anourism. Unfortunatly, there must have been another idiot around that picked up on the idea, and since they didn't have to form it themselves, survived.

Now, I mean, I'm all for expressing yourself. Freedom of speech is one of the greatest things ever. I also understand that not everyone is good at writing. You know what though? You don't have to be! It does not take a literary giant to post in a blog, or a journal. Even if all you are doing is writing down what happened to you that day it's better than twitter. If you can't sit down at the end of the day and take the highlights of what you did and put them into a vaguely coherent form, please get off the internet. There is no for the sheer laziness of wanting to be able to post 140 characters of what you are doing in a stupid attempt to "express" yourself.

St. Louis area and the amazing binary weather system.

Here in the St. Louis area we have a binary weather system. That is, it's either hot or cold. Seasons? We've heard of them, but many of us believe they are only myths created with the sole purpose of taunting us. No our weather consists of us getting up in the morning and seeing whether it is going to be hot or cold. That is our weather systems. Either it's hot or it's cold. Period.

Now of course, I'm oversimplifying things a bit. It's a bit more complicated than that as you can guess. You see, there is rain. This consists of it's either raining or it's not. You can predict all you want. Use advanced weather radar coupled with prediction software or one of the fortune telling machines at the carnival. It all boils down to this; either it will rain or it won't most of the time. Rarely though, we'll get thrown a bit of curve ball. The weather will start raining, only to decide it doesn't feel like it after all and stop. Then sometimes it will do the opposite and ruin a perfectly good day by randomly pissing down rain. One can usually trigger the latter by washing their car.

I also feel it necessary to admit that we do have seasons here. The consist of that time of year when it's always fucking cold. That time of year when it's cold in the morning, hot in the afternoon, and then cold once again at night. And then that time of year where it's always fucking hot.

Of course we could get into the humidity but I think I've subjected you all to enough weather for one post.

Oh and since I just watched the movie again tonight, remember don't forget your towel and above all else DONT PANIC.

Starship names.

So I've been reading Alistar Reynold's series of books. They contain a group of humans called Ultras who pilot light hugging interstellar ships.

Check back with this post from time to time since I'll be posting names here as I come up with them.
