Randomness Inc.

It’s been a good run… A noble effort, a valiant fight.  Yet all good things must come to an end.  Seeing as the usual half-life of my projects is about a millisecond, this has been a pretty darn good run.  Yes.  This is it.  The obligatory apologetic blog telling you imaginary people out there that I am done.  Through… finished. Hasta. Pasta.

To be fair, it was nothing you did… (you really haven’t done that much, actually, so I suppose it’s partially the nothing you’ve done).  Really, it is the fact that you seem to have cursed my life to the point where any computer I use will die (of course the logical thing to do is blame you).  For example, I got my first laptop and it ran smoothly and well.  I kept it clean and nice but one day unexpectedly it died.  By that time it was two years old, so I mourned its passing yet knew it was its time.  But then I got a new laptop.  A young, smaller, sleeker version of my last laptop.  I decided to go for an ultraportable lappy, much to my chagrin, however, this ended in the way most things in my life seem to end, too quickly.  A burst of light and baboom, the little tyke of a compy would no longer boot up (last time I get a GD Asus….)  So there I was… pondering… thinking… mulling it over… when it hit me.  I’d only had the computer for 20 days.  Hey… I could get a refund off of Amazon.com.  Score.  Yahtzee.  Mauzeltauff (correct spelling is for nazis.)

So I’ve sent my little lone lappy to amazon.com so I can hopefully get a full refund for the POS netbook they sent me.  I’m not bitter… Actually, I’m pretty happy, because their customer service was pretty darn good and polite.  I’ll be content with 85%… but hopefully i get more.

All this to say, I no longer have ready access to a computer, and, quite frankly, computers are overrated anyways.  I’d much rather be doing something with my life… like… exercising (lol) (ya right) (rofl).  Basically I’ve decided that with my current track record with computers (literally every single one I touch turns to proverbial dust), it would probably be in my best interest to stop throwing money into them.  Electronics are fickle, and they are pretty much the worst investments ever as far as depreciation of value goes.  So (because I’m really money conscious right now), I’ve decided to instead by (lol this is where i actually wrote “by” instead of “buy”… oh the irony) a PS3… that way It will be impervious to my electrokillosis.

Perhaps I’ll find a way to get back on here every once in a blue moon… I’m sorry babe… you’ve been my best online experience yet (apart from the first time I saw the numa numa guy…)  It saddens me that we have to end like this… I’ll be back… R.inc will go on.

So i was thinking today (while perusing the many comments of much spammedness), that you can always tell a spambot straight off the bat because they are so polite.  “Hello, I’m Derrick from Azerbaijan, and I really need help with teeth whitening solutions.“*   No one talks like that.  And then there is the obligatory “Hey, love the site, I’m going to subscribe and tell All my friends!”  Gag me.

So here’s what spambot programmers need to do (it’s quite simple): Make your spambots really rude.  Just trash the site and call it aweful, etc.  Then (in the same place they do the sites with the nice comments) put their site right there.  People will probably be more prone to click it, just because, AND once people get used to it they will probably think that every person who trashes their site is just a spammer.  Problems.  Solved.

With nothing else really left to say, I suppose i will just throw up a poem from the elder days. (and perhaps throw in a picture i drew with Facebook Graffitti).

There is a pretty little town,
a place without a spot of brown.
The grass is all green;
the houses all sheen,
and there is only beautiful bird sound.

And indeed a picture so enduring,
must be terribly alluring,
people traveled for miles,
wearing their plastic smiles,
for a new home under the ground.

I am tired of today’s society.  Never before has there been a society so full to the brim with selfish people looking for immediate gratification… what ever happened to charity and giving expecting nothing in return?

What happened to modesty, and integrity?  Honesty, philanthropy, and a sense of community?  There were days when people knew their neighbors, and perhaps they could trust them and even go next door to borrow some sugar, but those days are gone.  Now we have a society of ingrates, unappreciative of the sacrifices the last generations have made for our well-being.  We strive to change our nation and take away what makes it different and unique. We want to be like other countries, spreading the wealth and punishing people for success, and quite frankly, i’m sick of it.  It doesn’t take a genius to see that those beliefs are archaic, and unacceptable in our age.

It’s time for people to wake up, and realize that YES, we ARE all equal, and money does NOT make anyone better than another person.  You can’t put a price on life, so we can’t say how much someone is worth in dollars and cents, it’s just sickening.

However, we don’t all make the same amounts of money, and we don’t all do the same thing.  In our country we have the opportunity to change our stripes and work extra hard to end up succeeding like the rich people today, but most people aren’t willing to put the effort required into their work.  It’s not a big deal, if you gave up 10 years of your life to make 40 million dollars that you rarely have enough time to actually enjoy, and only manifests itself in expensive foods and housing, then more power to you.  I hope you’re happy.  Myself, I’m willing to make sacrifices so that i can delay immediate gratification, but i’m not willing to sacrifice my life and youth for that.

In a time when everyone wants to be nonconformists, there is a dreadful amount of conformism going around.  Everyone must wear name brand clothes, the newest fashions and drive the newest model cars.  You need to go to college and get a degree and wife/husband so you can live happily ever after.  THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST DO TO BE HAPPY.  Hybrids are a sign that you are environmentally friendly.  You MUST protect the environment and value it above your own life or even that of your family.  Perhaps we’re not there yet… but just you wait.  Buy this and you’ll get be more attractive, that will make you HAPPY.  hAPPy hapPY HapPy.

You know what, everyone’s looking for happiness, i’ll tell you how to find happiness, it’s a simple thought, and it’s older than the hills.  Be CONTENT with what you have and where you are.  Stop and smell the roses.  Get rid of the clutter in your life.  It’s time to remove stressful things from your life.  Turn off the T.V. and throw your electronics out the window.  Stop texting all the time, it’s really not that cool.  GET OFF FACEBOOK.

Now as far as the government goes, i’d love to change myself from Republican to Independent, but if there’s one thing i can’t stand, it’s my personal decisions given a political slant by a party.  I want to avoid party politics, not fuel them.  People are raving about how the GOP is dying and blah blah blah, the GOP may be dying, but the democratic party is shriveling up along side of it.  Party politics are DISGUSTING.  Ya, perhaps the Republican party shares some of the same values i do, a good amount of the Republican people i would end up voting for (*cough* McCain *cough*) are almost as bad *cough* McCain *cough* (sometimes worse) than the alternative… for that reason, i would like to be a moderately conservative Independent…. but i just. cant. do. that.

You know what?  I’m a happy person, and the beautiful thing about politics is that no matter what happens to our country, and how i see people collectively flushing our freedom and uniqueness down the toilet, I will remain pretty darn content.

Here is what i believe the U.S. should do (and there are a lot of beliefs out there people, i’m sure mine are not flawless).  Instead of increasing government spending with the intent to get us out of debt, lets cut governmental spending AND taxing to the bare minimum.  No more bailouts, no more stimulus packages, no more bouncy castles for disaster victims.  It’s time to rely on the charity of good people to help out others, and believe me, when you don’t rely on the government to pay for your life, people will either buck up and do what they have to do, or starve.  And for those people who really truly can’t do anything, then it’s the job of their community (it takes a village… right? <— i hate it when you want to do a smiley in parentheses]  to help them out.  Legalize marijuana, and let business owners decide whether to allow smoking in their establishments.

People are begging us to get our troops out of Iraq, and basically no one appreciates the U.S. anymore, so let’s do it.  Get our troops out of foreign countries where we are no longer welcome.   IT’s time to stop policing the world and start policing our nation and getting the stick out of our own eye.

CUT spending.  CUT CUT CUT.  It’s time to realize people can live off of less, and so can our government.  Nuff said.

Kick the bums out of office, it’s time to clean house.

Start encouraging progress and competition instead of discouraging it by punishing people who make money and run businesses.

Reform the school system so that teachers are encouraged to work hard. Offer vouchers to parents wishing to school their children privately (which in turn would make public schools strive to be more competitive).

Things for groups to think about:

Christians:  stop fighting to bring christ “back” into schools, i don’t think teachers of today should be trusted to teach about deep philosophical truths and questions of supernatural nature when they barely understand math.

Atheists: take the chip off your shoulders and realize that us true christians are not trying to control you or tell you what to do.  You are free to do whatever you please just so long as it doesn’t effect other peoples’ well-being.

Media: stop being ridiculous.

Texting: (i want to put this some way texting can understand)… crl up and die plz lol

Political Parties: think about the country for once, instead of yourselves.

Liberals: Realize that right now equality is doing pretty darn good in this country, and yes, a good amount of that is due to you.  Also realize that an equal amount of the trouble we’re in right now can be put on your shoulders.

Conservatives: Yes… you are strong in your morals, but realize you (we) don’t understand everything about how the world works.  It’s time to listen to what democrats and liberals have to say, and try to see it their way.  Also realize that an equal share of our troubles can be put on your shoulders.

Nazis, hate mongers, bigots, racists, and Reverend Wright: please find your way to a Dharma initiative recruiting office ASAP, so you can be sent to an island that travels around and has a big scary monster thing on it.

EMOs: grow up.

Bloggers:  lol… nobody really cares (most of what i write is for my own entertainment).

Socialists: Please realize that the U.S. is one of the last free countries in the world, and that as such we offer actual potential to our inhabitants.  If you do not like this, i suggest you make great haste to France, or another country of that nature.

Nobel Peace Prize Giver-outers:  really?  o.O

ANYWAYS, i’m done ranting… kinda all steamed out.  If you’ve read this far, i applaud you.  1337 words of sheer brilliance.

A hookah is a pipe with which you smoke flavorful tobaccos (and not weed) from.  To smoke weed from a hookah is quite frowned upon… and actually pretty rude.  Let’s get together and smoke some hookah.

Wow… these past few weeks have been insane!  Dropping out of college, looking into building my own business, reading up on trademarks and other things… it’s intense stuff.

Not much else going on other than that though.  I’m going to be moving back to my hometown soon, living the dream there.  Not sure if i want to move back into my parents place or not… i’d probably rather move into a place in the actual city and avoid the conflicts that inevitably arise from moving back in with your parents when you’re an adult.  I have a cousin and some friends there who i could probably live with, so that would be good.

So… i’m sorry i totally ignored my duties last night as randomnessinc.com person #1… i totally ended up throwing away all my big plans of staying-upedness, and i ended up going to sleep around 12:30… which is somewhat ironic, because that’s about the earliest i’ve gone coucher in the past month or two… pathetic… i know.

Back months ago… i never would’ve dreamed that i would be here…. on randomnessinc… with 135ish different tags.  It’s just beautiful.  So recently i’ve really gotten into South Park… it’s kind of hilarious :P.  NEways… not much else happening these days.  Just so proud to be a part of this site with its millions of tags… its wonderful.

Just a spoon full of blended mocha made the theatre popping go down quite well t’other day.  Let’s see, first i was privy to “Zombieland”, a somewhat creepy and gory film about how four people survive in zombieland.  Then, because the movie I really wanted to go to didn’t start for another hour and a half, I popped into “Couples’ Retreat.”  That ended, after a few laughs from me and a feeling of “wait… so most of them cheated on each other and still are happy?”  Of course after that ended there was STILL a wait for Inglourious Basterds, so i popped on into “The Invention of Lying.”  Never before have I been so happy to be able to pop OUT of a theater after 30 minutes.  I won’t even indulge that movie with a rant.  Perhaps it could’ve gotten better, I’ll never know.

Then, with great anticipation, I stepped into the theatre that we had all been waiting for.  Inglourious Basterds began with a bang, and  the movie kept me guessing throughout.  I must warn, however, that the gore was a bit intense at times, and this is not a movie for the faint of heart.  Keep in mind that i just got out of Zombieland, which is a quite gory film in itself (although mostly comical gore), and that paled in comparison to this.  There weren’t necessarily a plethora of people seen killed in the film (like in say, Rambo), but you see mutilation of bodies and some very graphic kills. I.B. had many parts that will make you laugh, many that will leave you disturbed, and many that will make you nazi-haters out there cheer.  If you don’t mind lots of violence and cursing, and are into the death of Nazis, then you will probably enjoy this movie to some extent or another.  If, however, you don’t like violence and cursing, or Nazis dying (o.O), then you probably should steer clear of this movie (and all WWII video games…)

Just got out of french class.  I gotta say, it dragged like no other today.  I wouldn’t say it was the most boring thing that has ever happened to me in my life… but it was pretty darn boring.

Anyways, I’m going to go another direction with this post.  I had some delicious pizza the other day, the only thing is now I want pizza again and i can’t have it.  I might go get some flaming wok in our mall soon.  I keep hearing about these movies that i haven’t seen, Inglourious Basterds, Zombieland, District 9, etc.  Evidently they are pretty good (at least according to R.Ink researchers).

I’m kind of feeling like its time to make this site into a bit of a forum or perhaps something similar to that…

The other day i was riding on the bus, and i happened to overhear a conversation between three people (not on purpose of course… they were just sitting really close to me).  Two parents and one college student, and the mother was talking about her daughter.  The mother was talking about modesty, and how she liked her daughter to dress appropriately.  She was saying how her daughter had a very athletic body, so she didn’t even really look good showing off more than was necessary.  At this time, the college student pointed out the fact that the college of art nearby would pay people to pose naked for painting, and they liked people with unique bodies… does no-one understand the concept of modesty anymore?
