	NEWS 3-17-09 No one reads this column Guys, FURL sucks. It has sucked for years, and I'm sorry I've been using it. I have switched over to delicious; I would have done this much sooner, but they made it really difficult the last time I tried. 4-21-08 Archives Uhmm, apparently archives haven't really been working since late 2006. THANX for the heads up guys! They are temporarily fixed, and will stay temporarily fixed until I migrate to new software/layout. I have said some hilarious things in the last 7 years, that future generations will feel lucky I preserved.

At least in the news, at least for now. It's also getting some Google ads because you LiveJournal people are sucking up all my bandwidth (35% for that one page!) 4-02-04 FURL Check out what I've been browsing: FURL.net bookmark archive.

I'm one of those guys that won't accept "I am not defined by what I do" because I want to be doing something I love. And what I do now, I don't love. I think I'm going to put off purchasing a new car, because that would be 15 months worth of rent for something I don't need. Even as a tiny voice inside me says "you live in California, you need a convertible."

I'm not a business whiz, and I don't have a MBA. But shit. If your company is running in such a way that its schedule depends on nothing going wrong ever, and you only accepts answers you want to hear, uhm.... right. Wait, there's more. If you're PROUD of the fact that your employees work very late and on the weekends just to meet deadlines, there's something seriously wrong with your management plan. Oh, not turning a profit either? Gee, I wonder why there's such a high employee turnover rate. Fucktards. dannyboy 9:56 AM (0) Comments: Post a Comment Sure I do. I'm surprised about the sweet peppers, because... well, I think I know everything, especially about myself. It's nice to discover that you suddenly like something. I still loathe dull peppers (i.e., big old ugly bell peppers). The only other time I've discovered something like this was years ago when I tried mushrooms for the first time after an entire childhood of avoiding them. Incidentally, I like okra. And I hate squash, of any kind. FUCK YOU SQUASH! moxy 9:04 AM (0) Comments: Post a Comment You were in my dreams the other night, Dan.

By the way, how was your 2 week vacation? Also, you can go to hell. I don't know why I bother masking my misery. It's your fault.

Wednesday, September 17, 2003 dannyboy 5:17 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment I don't know why I find the idea of pudding to be so utterly hilarious. (Perhaps it's one of those unanswerable questions, like "why is the sky blue," or "what is the square root of a million?" No one will ever know.) One of the things we never got around to doing in college was attending the final crit of the semester with a crystal punch bowl full of pudding, and encouraging everyone to take a swig. And hurling ladle-fuls at those who declined. All the while talking like pirates. It was a simple plan. dannyboy 4:54 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment Before I go to work each morning I take a series of clinically-proven extra-strength tranquilizers to dampen my senses enough for me to get through the day without erupting in a Turret-like cacophony of swear words and promises of physical violence. Ok, that's not really true. I've got a couple of years before I start carrying airplane-sized bottles of liquor in my man-purse. The truth is, all day long, I'm in a fluorescent 70 degree HVAC stupor, and thus need no help in being outwardly dead, just as my soul inside me is dead. Hey, but the pay's decent, and there's ample parking. So my point is, I'm not as quick as I am otherwise, and there's a certain person at my workplace that has made it her habit to answer questions that are addressed to me. Now this is not to say I've become a drooling ninny, but she's quick. She's the girl you sat next to in your math class whose hand shot up before teach even looked back up and you and the whole class wanted to scream "please pose that in the form of a question, you coked-up whore!" So in order to reassert my dominance I've marked off my territory the only way I know how: with pudding.

Monday, September 08, 2003 dannyboy 11:57 AM (0) Comments: Post a Comment The dreams I had last night were the kind that my subconscious really ought to be congratulated for. I was a rockstar, there was a huge party going on in my dressing room, naked women & coke everywhere (I guess the 80's really are back). It got really crazy, tons of hangers-on everywhere, and at one point I actually said, "OK! Unless you're famous or extremely hot, get out!!" I'm really not looking forward to ironically appreciating the 90's... Saturday, September 06, 2003 dannyboy 9:11 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment OOH! I'm so mad. I've been looking to buy a car. And since this isn't 1997, my company hasn't had an IPO yet, so I'm looking at used cars. I was ready to close on a car last week, and then I find out last minute the guy was trying to pass off leatherette as leather. The resale price drops about $1k based on that, but he's not willing to go lower. I saw his ad again, reposted with $200 off the price, but still claiming the car has leather. Today I went to test drive another car, and I explicitly asked the guy if there were any problems with the car at all, however minor. He said "no." I drive 45 min. to see it. No, no problems. Unless you consider that the instrument panel sometimes doesn't work, to be a problem. Look. Here I am, trying to GIVE you thousands of dollars, and all you have to do is tell me upfront the CONDITION OF THE OBJECT I'M ATTEMPTING TO PURCHASE. Thursday, September 04, 2003 dannyboy 2:07 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment Ok. That last post made up my mind for me. I'm going to Maui. dannyboy 1:49 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment How's this for a memento mori: the dead letter office--"The premise is simple: You are now dead. You just died. You don't know how it happened, you don't know what happens now. The only thing you know for certain is that your life is over... This is your opportunity to write one letter to the world." I've been thinking about death a lot lately. I've always panicked at the thought of growing older, because I felt like I was losing time, and not doing all the things I've wanted to do. And recently, every time I get in my car, or get on a plane, I think about what would happen if we crashed and I died. And this whole idea of a noble death--what is this? I mean, there are undeniably better ways to go than others (say, cocaine overdose in your dressing room vs. unknowingly mixing chlorine and ammonia while trying to get that difficult spooge stain off of your grandma's vinyl covered couch). I always hear of greatly respected men dying in very mundane ways, and I can picture all of them at the end, whimpering, helpless against the inevitable. I of course, plan to blast-off this mortal coil in a spectacular blaze of glory, and I'm taking as many of you with me as I can.

Muahahaha! dannyboy 2:59 PM (0) Comments: Post a Comment Sometimes it's nice to step back and take a look at the bigger picture, as disquieting as current theories may be. I don't like thinking that the universe will die a cold lonely death--as it reminds me that most of us will too, and much much sooner. It used to humble me knowing that our universe, which is already at a size that is unfathomable, is only one of a possibly infinite amount of universes. I say "used to" because I now realize that 99.99% of those universes are boring (in both the physical and conventional sense) and their existence is uninteresting to me. It's like walking on the beach and thinking about each grain of sand underfoot. What's the point, if they're all the same? So what's left? When I read articles like that... or well, when I read the books & papers that skimpy articles like that allude to, well, I think it's possible to have too much perspective. I mean, if I really thought about the nature of our existence, and of all the bigger things that are happening, then getting my work done so that some casino in Las Vegas can make more money off of sucker tourists doesn't seem so important, does it? If everyone started looking up from what they were doing, our whole economy would collapse, and then I wouldn't be able to buy that Audi. All I have to say is, God bless television, and its warm anesthetizing glow.
