I've heard people who claim to be "in touch with their humanity" - described vividly in the movie My Dinner with Andre - speak of the daily horrors and affronts to their inner psyche inflicted by the inhuman automatons that surround them.
And they never say it, but I know they're lumping me in that group, too.

I've seen her on CNN and FoxNews and MSNBC a couple times apeice, and every time I hear her I laugh at the amount of vitriol and anger such a pretty woman can generate. And then I think about what she's saying.

Sony. Wow. "No war. Please"
A ruthless, crazy dictator, who has invaded a soveriegn country, should not be forced to disarm himself of clearly offensive weaponry? 12 years of UN resolutions are ignored, and all is well?!
These pacifists are amazing! I am shocked beyond Tyronehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18410022696881137015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003394.post-890661622003-02-13T18:10:00.000-08:002003-02-13T18:10:02.623-08:00I've been tinkering with the raw HTML, again.

Schweet. There are a billion movies I'd love to see, and now that my job is reduced to surveillance, I could actually get to see them.
For starters, I hit up Roger Ebert's Great Movies list. Nice. That alone should make good use of Netflix.
Here's a horror story:

Thanks to Mr. Furious for the link to the America's Army game site.
You have got to be in awe of the fact that the greatest army in the world actually had soldiers on the payroll with the mission to create a kick-ass game. I can't believe that! What's even more amazing is that the game really does kick ass!

I like this template. I'm looking over the format of the HTML... it's not difficult, I just need more time to stare & compare. This is turning into a pretty cool tool/project.
Who knows? I might join Godmoney at Aterna Web Design. Or maybe not.

I hate these overnighters. Working 4pm-midnight actually isn't bad - but this midnight-8am is for the birds.
Well, I did play around with HTML, last night. The format looks fine, and I added the links off to the right, but now there's a million iterations of the page. I don't get it. I'm gonna mess around some more.Tyronehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18410022696881137015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003394.post-887467792003-02-07T22:54:00.000-08:002003-02-07T22:54:50.530-08:00Wow. Okay, I was right! I goofed this thing up pretty well!
I added the links to DVDFile's forum and the rest, but now, for some reason, there's a whole bunch of these blogs... one right after the other! Scroll down! You'll see the main title whizz by a ton of times.
When I check the source, it's not there. Why's it repeating?
For a guy who doesn't know a damn thing about HTML, I feel pretty Tyronehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18410022696881137015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003394.post-887427122003-02-07T20:53:00.000-08:002003-02-07T20:53:57.080-08:00Screw the HTML thing! At least for now.
I got rid of that horribly flawed template, and the new one looks fine.Tyronehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18410022696881137015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003394.post-887425062003-02-07T20:49:00.000-08:002003-02-07T20:49:14.556-08:00Tonight, I'm going to tinker with HTML. As of right now, I wouldn't know HTML if he walked up to me and punched me in the balls.
However, the site is already goofed up beyond readability... I doubt I can make it much worse.
Cancel that thought... I'm sure I can.Tyronehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18410022696881137015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003394.post-887424472003-02-07T20:47:00.000-08:002003-02-07T20:47:49.260-08:00Heh. I bought GI Joe: The Movie, ostensibly for my son, The Monkus, aged 6.

Holy crap. We've been debating the impending war with Iraq. At first, I thought he had some decent, insightful opposition. That's cool. If you don't know the facts, you can't make up your mind - and you may be influenced by the swirling arguments both for and against.

OMFG E!
I was just going through some old Game On threads, and I came across this one:

Galaxies... watching Ep II last night got me hooked on the SW flava. Again. I'm such a sucker. Would I be able to use Galaxies recreationally? Am I strong enough? What if it's a gateway MMOG?

I'm at work, and nothing is broken. Surveillance.
With all this free time, it allows one to think. With the baby coming in April, I've got my hands full with preparations. Afterwards, I'll probably be sleepless.
I need to get some more schooling under my belt. This issue is pressing in on me harder and harder, lately. Sigh. Where do I go from here? Do I continue with Tyronehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18410022696881137015noreply@blogger.com0
