Feeling yourself disintegrate
The flaming lips

Love in our life is just too valuable
Oh, to feel for even a second without it
But life without death is just impossible
Oh, to realize something is ending within us
Feeling yourself disintegrate

hello!

Hi! Noticing I've had a lot of visitors to this page over last few days. Thanks for dropping by! :) Feel free to drop me a line ever!

best irc channel

I've never seen a channel like this. While you know big huge channels like kde and gentoo and such probably always have a conversation or help question/answer going on, I'm amazed because this is a text based game not in the mold of Zork :) #nethack on irc.freenode.net has to be the best irc channel ever. nethack is such a consuming game, if you want to be good you have to suffer literally hundreds and hundreds of deaths, after giving it your best shot for minutes or hours. Yet, this channel, everytime I log on, there is always a conversation going on. It doesn't matter what time of day it is, it's always hopping. I am ashamed that I never have delved into this game really, I've had a few couple-week spurts (usually with some graphical derivative) but always pulled out because I recognized I have to make time to do everything else but play a game :) It always revigorates my faith in humanity to log onto irc, and this channel, and to discover cool people talking about a cool game. I'm serious, this channel has never let me down. It's always hopping :)

I still don't have time to play nethack. Maybe someday :) Well, I guess I'll try a game now, but don't expect me to last too long :)

Remembering The Patriots From Whence They Came

Look at how the football teams I'd been a part of in middle and high school had been doing, and compare it to this summary of the Patriots of the time. I hadn't ever really paid much attention to football till high school, depsite playing in middle school...it had just been a fun way to take out aggression and get the crap kicked out of me every day for fun! :) Go pats!! I hope they take another NFL Championship this year, would be great fun :)

From http://www.patsfans.com/bob/display_story.php?story_id=2670

If 1970-73 was Dark Ages I, 1989-92 was Dark Ages II. Dark Ages II is the time period in Patriot history which is the main reason why you should love forever what is happening today, and continue to crave more championships. Sullivan had sold the team in 1988 to Victor Kiam of Remington, but no one knew, despite Billy finally pulling out of the organization he created and kept in the area, that Kiam would lead the Patriots into deeper shame than Sullivan or his sons ever did.

1990 remains the worst single season in Patriot history. A Week 2 16-14 win at Indianapolis begat a 14-game losing streak to finish the season. Marc Wilson and Tommy Hodson were eminently forgettable Patriot quarterbacks in this Steve Grogan’s final season. The Patriots were outscored by their opponents 446-181. During the 14-game losing streak the offense was held under 20 points 12 times. And the scandal involving Patriot players exposing themselves to then-Herald reporter Lisa Olson (now with the New York Daily News) remains the low water mark in franchise history.

Rust coached the team in 1990, then gave way to former UMass head coach Dick MacPherson. While he restored dignity to the team, along with a cheerleader style of coaching, he could not bring his team to win consistently and he had to step down due to health problems. By 1992, the team was a total woebegone organization, with a disgruntled fan base and players who most likely hated being there.

60 games a year

Good usenet article. NFC hopefully is getting better!

good song

These guys have like 9-10 songs that are really cheerful, really catchy :)

:)

It overtakes me, it overtakes me . . .

And I'm there
Looking up at the sky
And I'm scared
Thinking about the way that I
I don't understand
Anything at all
And how it overtakes me
And I'm just so small

Do I stand a chance?

cruel commercial :)

from the newsgroup this week:

When the criticism about a pro football team is that they are scoring too
many points, it has truly entered into the arena of the surreal, and
suggests that we are winessing a uniquely phenomenal team.

yay

3 hours till game time :) Ah you know, the Dolphins shut out the pats last year. I was so pissed off anyways I don't think I even really paid much attention, just recorded the game and figured. I had fully been expecting such a loss to be honest, for many reasons. Miami is SUCK to play there, they always have a good defense, the history of games, their surprising me in 2003 after I'd slept through the game and hearing about it on AM, with the fluke loss. I dunno, I don't have that feeling today. I think it's gonna be a party :) Come over!!!

sweet

Look at this guy's youtube videos... An entire concert with Elliott Smith songs :)

Memo to Human Resources
They Might Be Giants

I'll be in the back, and I don't need the help
I'm good here in the back
I'm good all by myself
I'm busy taking stock of all the things that I've forgot (5 4 3 2)
And making mental notes of just exactly where I lost the plot (2 2 2 2)

I stuck around too long feeling sorry for myself
A disinvited guest rifles through the bathroom shelf
I'm searching for some disbelief that I can still suspend (5 4 3 2)
But never mind the furthermore-the plea is self-defense again (2 2 2 2)

Then the people came to talk me down
And I got some advice
Then the people came to talk me down
But I don't need advice-I'm down

Later in my car I considered what you said
I'm good here in my car
I'm good with what you said
And I'd be shouting out to you but I was mighty hoarse
Talk you through the finer points and issues much too small to force

Then the people came to talk me down
And I got some advice
Then the people came to talk me down
But I don't need advice-I'm down
