Web 1.0 was the best Web.
A large collection of my status updates and posts from various social media websites.
Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the norm.
The United States government has failed the people. It is no longer a government for the people anymore.
Columbus Day: Celebrating a vile man who didn’t even believe he did what most of western culture believe he did. Evil and ignorant.
As I was sitting at the bus stop this morning heading into work… movement from the corner of my eye caught my attention. I had a brown recluse climbing on me. I suppressed a girlish eek and very quickly gave it a flick.
Hello weekend, here I come. This weekend I WILL get the last achievement for Halo: Reach!
Last week Collingwood and St. Kilda played to a 68-68 draw during the premiership. Instead of an extra time or sudden death situation… they play a rematch the following week. Well, that game was this past weekend and I just got to watch it. Collingwood (my team) defeated St. Kilda by the score of 108 to 52. Yay!
30… I turn 30 today.
Today is the first day I’ve felt human since Saturday… though I use the term human lightly.
I lay here in bed and all I can hear is an annoying throbbing woosh sound in my ears. In time with that throbbing is a pain in my head. Kill. Me. Now.
Fever, muscle aches, pounding headache… throat nastiness… this isn’t cool.
I feel absolutely horrible. Caught Christy Jedigoddesses bugs and now I can hardly concentrate. I’m seeing through a fog. It was exclusively in my sinuses but it has now hit my chest. Fun!
I begin this week in my 20s… I end this week in my 30s. My 30th birthday is this Friday.
Oh hell it burns!!! Fire all over. Swelling has gone down a little but this rash which covers a good 30% of my body is painful. It’s in places it shouldn’t be!!
Just stepped on an ant hill. My foot was covered in fire ants as quickly as I pulled my foot away. This hurts.
I was just accepted into the Xbox LIVE Update beta test. Yay!
Watching Bruno for the first time. Hilarious!!!
I’m less than two weeks away from turning 30 years old.
People believe the stupidest stuff. the metaphysical / religion section of Half Price Books have taught me so.
30 minutes to Halo: Reach.Yahaagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!1111oneone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Halo: Reach… Halo: Reach… Halo: Reach… Halo: Reach… Halo: Reach… Halo: Reach… Halo: Reach… Halo: Reach…
Only 14 hours stand between me and Halo: Reach.
Halo: Reach is getting perfect and near perfect scores. Less than 48 hours and I’ll have my own copy.
Wow, Geelong spanked Fremantle. At the end of the first quarter it was 49 to 7. In the end it was 135 to 66. Ouch.
Sega needs to release some classic games onto the Android platform.
Last day of work, then its V A C A T I O N ! - Halo: Reach in just a handful of days.
I think I’d rather be dodging tornadoes than dealing with this humidity.
Today was quite an interesting day for weather.
Just had the sirens go off here in Richardson. Fun times.
I can hear the tornado sirens going off in Plano as I sit at the bus stop.
I can’t believe I left my cellphone at home. I feel so naked without it.
Tornado Watch #647 in effect until 8PM… Tornado Warning for central Collin County for the next 4 minutes.
Tropical Storm Hermine looks to be developing an eye wall. It doesn’t have much time left over water though.
I fall asleep… wake up and find there is a new tropical system. Hello Tropical Storm Hermine. We’ll get some rain from this one. Tropical Storm Warnings up.
Havent been on the train in quite sometime. Still smells the same……
Oh, and the train of storms don’t stop. Behind Hurricane Earl is Tropical Storm Fiona. Behind Fiona is Tropical Depression Nine which is expected to become Tropical Storm Gaston tonight or tomorrow.

There is no “unless you’re a Muslim within X yards of a national tragedy exception” to the free exercise of religion. - “Ground Zero Mosque” protesters need to just shut up. Its not at “Ground Zero” and it isn’t a mosque. Go away.

I’ve got two footy games to watch today. Collingwood vs Adelaide, and Essendon vs Brisbane. The only good thing about Monday mornings.
I have the football game on… trying to get myself into it. Aussie Footy is so much better that it ruined American Football for me.
“George Bush says he speaks to god every day, and Christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to god through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd.” - Sam Harris
Ive got the lamp set to low, a glass of red wine, and a Dragonlance book 100 pages in. This shall be a good night.
Ha, republicans. Only slightly more annoying than democrats.
162 to 64. Wow, what a smashing.
So I’ve become quite a fan of Australian Football. I’m even thinking of buying a shirt and hoddie for the Collingwood Magpies. The look of confusion on peoples faces as I wear it will be priceless. I hope they ship international! Might have to pay my good friend Sharon to sendi it to me. ;)
Hot… very very hot… working outside on, of all days, today. Miserable.
Land of the free? Who ever told you that is your enemy.
Still looking for a few more people (gamers) who may want to help test a rough version of my video game database website. Message me or respond to this if you want to give it a go.
Fully enjoy Prince Poppycock, amazing voice.
HOLY SHIT! PROP 8 OVER TURNED!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! … … … Right-wing fury in 3… 2… 1…
Ok gaming friends, I’ve been working on a rough version of my Video Game Database. I’m looking for a handful of people who might be interested in alpha testing the site; trying to break it and all of that. If you’re interested, contact me or comment on this.
There will be a time when the people will no longer tolerate the events that have been unfolding. The revolution is nigh.
I wish the U.S. Democratic Party was an actual left-wing party. Until candidates from other parties are allows equal access to the ballot, we’re stuck with right-wing extreme (Republican) and right-wing light (Democrats).
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus (341 BCE - 270 BCE)
Guess who is getting to play Final Fantasy XIV. Hello beta test!
Playing Final Fantasy XI for the first time in a long time. Love the Fields of Valor.
Nuclear explosions from 1945 to 1998. It’s a little long (14 minutes), and starts slow… but I think it’s powerful. http://doug.vg/9f
New profile picture! You’re not a slave!
“testicular contusion”, a phrase that should be banned from the English language.
I’ve learned to keep my mouth shut. Just nod and agree.
Too… early…
Just got in to the StarCraft II beta.
Jul 16: The first performance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail occurred on this date in 1782.
I feel rough. Like… like… like I just had an organ removed or something. Go figure, right?
I’m now home. In a little pain which means them pain killers are doing their work. Happy Doug! Weeeeeeeeeee.
Surgery time!
Jul 6: Aphelion at 11:00 UTC. Earth reaches its farthest point from the Sun in its orbit.
Out at the park watching the fireworks.
Watching Zombieland.
My new phone has arrived. Can’t wait to get home to play with it!
Poor poor Ghana. Uruguay wins it 1:1 (4:2). The last African nation looses on penalty kicks. What a fantastic and on the edge of your seat game.
Wow, the Ghana Uruguay game is intense. After 120 minutes the game is tied. Ghana almost scored but a Uruguay player used his hand to stop a goal, getting a red card and drawing a penalty kick. Ghana missed, time was up, and now to break the tie it’s penalty kicks. Intense game.
I always keep my underwear in the freezer. A frozen wedgie keeps the senses keen!
Wow. Brazil knocked out by the Netherlands 2:1. Amazing game.
Wow. Brazil vs Netherlands… tied at 1:1. Wouldn’t it be something if the Netherlands were to knocked out Brazil, the number one ranked team in the world.
My new HTC EVO 4G is on its way to me. You sexy new phone! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Evo_4G
ESPN streams video of Australian Rules Football. Awesome!

I love you Landon Donovan.
I just realized that the hospital may want some of the money for this procedure up front. There is no way I could afford that.
Jun 25: The Korean War began with the invasion of South Korea by North Korea on this date in 1950.
Surgeon says I’m “chalked full” of gallstones and he wants to get it yanked. So July 8th at 8am… snip snip yank.
On my way to talk to the surgeon. Nurse says they’re most likely going to want to just pull out my gallbladder.
This is fast. They want to take care of it TODAY!
Suspicions confirmed: I have gall stones.
Curious if any of my family and friends up north felt the earthquake up there.
That tennis match was insane. It’s not over though. At 59-59 in the fifth set, they’ll get to work tomorrow.
Back at the doctors. Getting an ultrasound now.
Doctor is scheduling me for an ultrasound. He’s narrowed it down to either my gallbladder or pancreas.
Oh Team USA… you know how to cause someone a heart attack. Goal in stoppage time …… just seconds before I get hooked up to an EKG.
Waiting to go to the doctors. ABC isn’t carrying the US World Cup game … so I’m watching it on Univision.
Woke up with chest pains again. Pain and the throwing up. Is it bad that it is becoming common enough that I’m starting to call them “episodes”?
Jun 21: June Solstice!
Jun 20: On this date last year, Neda Agha-Soltan was killed during the 2009 Iran Election Protest.
I would like to offer Defensive player of the game to Koman Coulibaly, referee, for his excellent work for team Slovenia.
Did something I’ve never done before……. I went to the gym.
