I don't know what any of it means but pretty pictures are always fun.

By the way the sweaters are Armani Exchange... my taste is moving up from the Gap, Banana Republic , and Ambercrombie and Fitch to Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, and Kenneth Cole. Unfortunately, my pocket book still likes Target and Walmart.

More clothes lust. Sweaters this time.


I need to stay away from this place till after Christmas. 56 shopping days left till Christmas.

A nice Halloween link for the kiddies.

I just realized what I want in a relationship. I want that feeling of closeness.I don't want sex, can't have sex (I am a virgin and I am waiting). I do want to cuddle. I realized this yesterday while staring at the Yahoo personals ad campaign that Yahoo has insinuated into my mail account. The couple in the pictures looks so happy holding each other that I can't help but feel jealous. I know they are only models and probably don't even really know each other, but I can't help feeling that Yahoo is taunting me. It happens every time I log on too. I am not going to slit my throat over it, but I might club a baby seal.

Christina Aguilera is naked on the cover of Rolling Stone.
I am not a huge fan of the "Dirty" look. However, I cannot argue much with this picture.

I just don't like the clothes she wears. Her wardrobe should consists of guitars only. :)
They ask who should be naked on the cover next. I keep looking for Britney Spears' name. Oh well, Gwen Stefani will have to do.

Check it out! This guy knows a band with my name!
I was having a discussion with a friend about economics and I thought ya'll (all four of you!) might be interested. My economics ideals might be mistaken for Communism if not closely examined. I want to see a society where every citizen is more explicitly a producer as well a consumer. Everyone who works is a producer of some kind. The problem is that many people are very far removed from their eventual product. I want everyone to be in business for himself selling a product to whoever will pay the most. Right now, most people sign contracts to sell their labor to large corporations at unnecessarily low prices. However, most people cannot realistically sell their labor on their own. My solution is to lower the price of the tools of production so that private individuals can compete with large companies. Not only is there a free market solution for this problem; it is already being solved. The tech revolution has cheapened technology and people are already taking advantage. What I feel is important is that large companies not be allowed to stand in the way of innovation and the empowerment of the people. My copyright idea is part of a framework to do that.

I feel this guy's pain. To all the other young men in the world - when a girl asks what you are planning next, say: "Whatever you want me to do!" "I dunno, what do you wanna do?", is good too.

I think my brother may have identified the reason for my recent habit of not spacing my words: a defective space bar! He had the problem too, and noted that only emphatic punching on the spacebar resulted in the desired space. We need a new keyboard!
I also realized (well I already know this but I need to explain this to other people) something about myself. I am an all-or-nothing type of person. My life is informed by my binary view of success. There are no partial successes, only total failures. I take risks and shoot for the home run. My view is that if you are good and prepared that you can make a good living this way. The failure is disheartening, but the success when it comes is an intoxicating drug. Men kill (literally) to taste of that type of success.

Everyonce in a while I browse through old posts and check up on blogs I have linked. I ate the poor once again and the taste frightened me a little. I hope she gets better.

How does the "10 fresh blogs" feature on Blogger work? I was always disappointed before that I didn't see my blog in that latest blog updated list. Now I have seen it 3 times in two days. Does everybody get the same list? How often is the list updated? I get a significant percentage of my hits from being a fresh blog though. Not a lot but enough that it matters.

Who are these guys? Can anyone think of a more bizzare name?

Does anybody know how to figure out what search queries bring up your website? I know it can be done with google fairly easily but how about yahoo, msn, metacrawler, or Alltheweb?

As a joke just now, I wrote Saddam an email:

to: press@uruklink.net
subject: Hi!

Dear Saddam,
I know someone has hacked your email account and that it is likely that you don’t actually read email. However, I would like to go on record as denouncing you as one of Satan’s children and a monster. Your depravations have earned you a special place in Hell, which I am hoping that you will soon visit. I hope that President Bush gets his way soon and blows you to tiny little pieces. I hope that each piece hurts. I don’t dislike you really. I hate you with the intensity of a million hell fires. Please die soon in the most painful way imaginable. You are a blight on humanity, a cancer. Your removal from existence will be a day of rejoicing for all humanity. I have temporarily exhausted my list of pejoratives, so I will stop here.

Respectfully yours,
Idahosa Edokpayi

More information about blogger being hacked. The wonderful thing about blogging is that news filters through to everybody virally, and fast. Blogger seems to be fine now however. We return to your normal programming.

I am positive I have numerous friends who would love to apply for this position. The link is from Womanchild. She's a weird but intriguing character. Read her every once in a while.
Blogger has been hacked apparently. Spread the Word.

Send Saddam email! May I suggest a subject line that begins with 'F' and ends with 'U'?

Heartbreaking diary from Slate.
I just paid off a credit card. I am estatic! I am also worn out from all the work I have been doing lately. If my life were a line graph, the line would be climbing up on the chart.

Last night was a little cryptic. Sorry...
I am tired. I slept in church. I am working hard, staying up late, and still lifting weights. I am gonna do squats tonight. Pray!
I have yet to buy the domain name. :( DOH! I should just do it, but something prevents me.
I am definitely gonna get that wild and crazy hairstyle I have been contemplating forever soon, maybe next week, maybe the week after next. I dunno.
I need sleep.
Go Giants!

Are men fools for loving? Do we care?
