Internet Hate

What, may I ask is the point of internet hate?

So people go onto other people's blogs and post comments that are spiteful, hateful, hurtful and every other kind of -ful you can think of in a negative way.

Then there are people who get online and post stuff on their own blogs that are likewise very un-positive.

What might I ask is the point of that? Is it to stir up trouble? Is it to create controversy and thereby create readers? (I know that for me and a certain other blog I maintain that is exactly the reason, and it works by the way). But if you aren't out to get money, then what are you trying to do?

The person you are typing at can't see you, hear you, smell you and has no idea that you are anyting other than a 3rd grader who got on the computer when mommy wasn't looking. I guess I just don't understand the point of actually being angry at someone you don't know about something that could very well be a fiction.

Memory Foam Mattresses

I bought me a memory foam mattress, and I have to say that I’ve never slept more comfortably. Now I’m not going to go sharing brand or store information because I don’t know the brand and I don’t want to admit that I shop at Wal-Mart.

But the point is that they are awesome, and if you do a bit of poking around you can find some really good deals on memory foam mattresses. Which means that if you do some poking around you can start to get a better night’s sleep for really cheap.

Okay, so my wife had to cajole me into getting the thing. Me, I’m too cheap to spend a dime that doesn’t scream at me first. But I’m really, really glad that I did. I haven’t slept so soundly since . . . well since long before I can remember. I’m a light sleeper and tend to wake up often at night. The memory foam mattress has helped with that, a lot. So do yourself a favor and go check out memory foam mattresses.

Magic The Gathering

I play Magic. At least I do when I can scrape together the time at the same time as other friends (or at least one of them) who also play magic.

Now, for those of you out there who have no idea what I’m talking about, go visit www.wizards.com and follow the links to magic the gathering. They will nicely explain it all to you in more concise and precise terms than I could possibly hope to (they get paid for that kind of thing, I don’t).

What attracts me to the game is the combination of fantasy flavor and strategy. I enjoy strategy games. Well, I enjoy most games. I enjoy thinking about my options and considering my opponents options and then trying to figure out what the best option really is.

I also like the pretty pictures on the cards and the amazing amount of work that wizards has put into keeping a game like magic health for as long as they have. You would think that after nearly 15 years it would have simply died. I for one am glad that it hasn’t.

I Think I Need A New Laptop

The one I have is nice enough, it gets the job done, but it wasn’t top of the line when I bought it and it isn’t getting any younger.

There is only one little hitch, though. I don’t have any money to go out and spend on a new laptop at the moment. So if any of you have any great work at home scams (I mean jobs) then if you could just send them my way I would really appreciate it.

I would like to just work some overtime at my regular job to make up the difference but since they laid me off that isn’t really an option. Once again suggestions are welcome.

Ever Notice How Big The Internet Is?

On the news it is pretty common to hear numbers thrown out like trillions and billions, but it sure is hard to fathom exactly what that means. But when I look around the internet and see all of the literally trillions of possible places a person could go it makes me feel like I’m in some cyber-ocean.

You can find anything out there, and I do mean anything. Want to find peanuts? Coffee? Pink paint? Parasols? If you can think of it somebody else has too and they are blogging about it or selling it or making a wiki about it.
I find it unbelievable how much there really is. And it is quite amazing.

Me, I see a handful of sites in a day (relatively speaking) and most days are just repeats of other days where I just look for updates. A whole ocean and I’m getting a few drops of it.

I Love Root Beer

Now there are sodas and there are sodas, but if you ask me there is only one worth taking your time to enjoy, and that has to be root beer.

I especially love to take a sip from a cold bottled brand, which of course are quite a bit more expensive than the stuff you get in the cans, but hey a root beer is a root beer and nothing to turn your nose up at.

For those hot summer evenings, or even those cold winter days there is nothing like sitting back in a relaxing chair with a good book and a root beer. Especially if you happen to have some cheetos on hand to got with it (purely optional).
