That being of kindness is dead. Buddha was only able to carry on because compassion and humanity was shown to him in his darkest state. He saw the greatness of humanity. Therefore why should a being such as I was before exist. He can't possibly exist if no compassion or humanity was shown to him, therefore he should die. In buddhist scriptures there is reputed world of eternal wars called the realm of Ashura, a world filled with no compassion or humanity. This is only what I have become, it is man nature to become a being of hatred and rage when there is no humanity left. That being said I was only showing Eric the same amount of "humanity" that was being shown to him, is that really a crime? Weak beings like him can not exist, only beings not concerned with the feelings or "humanity" of other beings are strong enough to live. Believe me I was never really the nice, kind "good guy".

Par, next time I'm in CAB I'll play you some Arcade Fire, I've been listening to them a lot recently. I'd say that it's a pretty solid album, but I've found that a lot of people either love it or hate it, I've seen very little middle ground.

Also, is your uncle a quiet person?

Gah, so many clicks to link... or something...

I'm going to sleep, I'd just like to say:

• I've been gone for four days, and you guys have revoked freedom of speech, freedom of fashion, and taken "questionable" pictures of Alison? I gotta head out of town more often!


• I've officially gotten the google scholar link from three different people


• You guys didn't change governments like I asked... I'm disappointed.


• At the risk of sounding uncouth to the music geeks here, is there a "good" (i.e. cd-purchase justifying) reason I keep hearing about the arcade fire from so many sources?


• On a note that may bore people, I find it hilarious that my Mom's cousin Mahendra used the (for lack of a better term) "white" business name of "Mike" (ie. Mike Shah). This fact, for me, is even more hilarious than my uncle and dad working at the same company, going by, respectively, Jay and Bob.

who's toonestar Runner?

ahhhhg let's never go to meetings at work again...i don't know how chili's does it, but they convinced us(using free chips and salsa)that we have a policy that says "you fuckers don't get paid for this shit" so i sat there eating my chips not getting paid and waiting for it to end!
but on the bright side i made lots of tip moolah today.

taylor, how did your art thing turn out? did you use the picture i took of allison's fab rack. g.d. that girl is fly!

Hell Yeah.

Albert, regarding: "My sword in your face will easily fix this situation"
Um. Yikes.
Are you just having a laugh? (Seems horrifically serious.)
If not, remember - being an asshole is my job.
Please just keep to being a nice guy. You're good at it.

What shallow reasons is that? We're all ugly so that makes you seem more handsome to people? Are we just frames for you so that you can think your better looking then someone? I'm no ones pawn espically to the likes of you. My sword in your face will easily fix this situation. Then you don't have to give a fuck about someone biting your style. You'll have a unique style to yourself... Finally I have conquered these weak emotions that drive humans... The only ones left are now rage and hatred.

Party? wha? last weekend?

i'll be honest with you guys, i'm only friends with you for VERY VERY shallow reasons. and frankly if you were bums on the street, i probably wouldn't even give you the time of day. thank your lucky stars nones of yous is bums.

also, an article by the author of PLANET SIMPSON concerning Radiohead and copyright laws. coincidently this instance of "Micropayment" is one of the fears of the future concerning intellectual property addressed by the Intellectual Commons that Taylor addressed earlier.
