Thinking about destroying my computer.
So I can never access the internet from my home ever again. My friend tells me if I don't get on board with twitter, Iphone, web 2.0, the Singularity, Second life, Facebook, etc, that I will be left behind. I tell her that she will spend the rest of her life in a dark room with the glow of a computer monitor as her only companion. I don't think I need to be a part of Web 2.0 and whatever marketing gimmicks the telecom and software companies come up with after that. Seriously, I have a giant pile of wood I'm going to light up, I think I may just toss the ole 'puter on top and let it burn baby burn. Then I'll go for a hike in the woods.

1. Sounds great, but . . .
Then you couldn't hang out with us. :)

2. That would be a draw back.
But when I get frustrated, I shoot my mouth(fingers?) off and I get into trouble. :-(

3. If it wasn't for the porn it would be an ashtray.

4. Dude. Whenever I reach the end of the internets, which on here is a lot,
I have to shut the fucking computer off and go for a hike. It is the best therapy that I can think of.

:hi:

8. If you carry this map, you'll be able to explain anything.
