Power Rant: ON

UPDATE: Hey! Let it be known that this particular Andrey Golub is a really, really nice guy. He is most certainly not the Andrey Golub I’m talking about in this post!

The parents headed back to Minnesota this morning after a rip-roaring week of Bend action, and things are returning to normal now. I walked downtown to deposit my paycheck tonight, and while I was heading down Wall Street someone kept taking shots at me with a paintball gun. I looked around, and the sidewalk was littered with happy little broken yellow/green spheres. As I was hurrying home to grab my cell phone and .22 I almost got hit by a car that was casually rolling through an intersection. The classy fellow had Mardi Gras beads hanging from his rearview mirror.

I’m much too tired for this. Before I left on my excursion my roommate recommended that I drive downtown. “It’ll be quicker than walking,” he says. “Driving is for pussies,” I say. Yeah. For pussies that don’t like to be shot at, and pussies that don’t like to be hit by cars. If that’s the case, call me a pussy.

Speaking of, this blog has been getting some delightful comment spam from pr0n sites, lately. I delete this foul graffiti, permanently close comments on the afflicted entry, and block the offender’s IP block from ever commenting again. And I burn down their house and salt their lawn. Usually it’s the typical enlargement/enhancement/endearment crap, but tonight I received some garbage boasting pr3-t33n s3x. Assholes. I ran a WHOIS on the respective domain and it returned the following:

And to Andrey Golub and all the other people associated with crap like this, I have one short comment of my own:

Go to hell.


Damnit, I missed with the paintballs. I had too much to drink beforehand, and I lost a bunch of brain cells after gabbing with the LiveJournal folks, so I’m lucky I can even read.
Who are you again?
😉

Oh yeah, and it would be cool to photoblog anything that sat still long enough. Do you have large digital camera artifact that you take with you sometimes or a photocamera that is just always in your pocket? I keep my PocketPC everywhere I go now but it has no camera. If it won’t fit in my pocket I’ll never have it, so I’d never use it, and the photocameras look like they have shappy resolution.
Do they have a digital object similar to a kodak funcam that is very small? you know, enough built-in memory to store a couple dozen 2 megapixel images, a small usb plug, no zoom or photographic features,cheap as free? I would devour such thing(s) 🙂
