Funny how things like that work out. Ya the election is a bummer, and yeah it sucks that america is holding down yet another minority group. I guess since i havnt "talked" to you in around 3 years, congrats is in order for all your sucess and i hear that you are gonna play wow so i guess ill see you there. On another side note, Snow crash is a great book, but i felt let down by the ending. Its 230 and i should be finishing a paper, but oh well. ps is it creepy that i read your blog, cause i havnt kept in touch at all so its almost like spying, anyways it kinda creeps me out and im the "perv" pps I think your dates are all fucked up, unless its intentional, then i just dont get it.

In all honesty, blogs in general are relatively voyeuristic, which is probably why they caught on. When theres some sort of window open to one's life, its hard not to look. That said, while it may have been 3 years, its nice to know you're still around. Thanks for dropping a message. If indeed you have similar views, I pity you. Most obviously, I pity you for being let down, as I was, and for being the minority in a majority ruling democracy. But I also pity you for being crazy, because I think you have to be to have similar views to me, and the world is unkind to the crazy. Three years... man thats a long time. It sounds about right though. Scary to think how much has happened in those 3 years. I appreciate the congrats, I've been pretty lucky recently, and I'd be the first to admit it. I hope to pick up WoW, but it may be till the end of the semester before I have any reasonable amount of time for such things. Yes, Snow Crash is a wonderful book, one of my favorites. Neal Stephenson is almost uncomparable when it comes to writing entertaining adventures, which is why I got a few more of his books recently. As for the ending, that is his style, at least so far as I can tell from the 2 books of his I've read. I've heard it described many ways, but most accurately something like this: His writing progresses at such a breakneck speed, branching off in so many directions, that when the time comes to finally end, theres really no way to slow down and bring in all the branches. <a href="http://www.nealstephenson.com/content/author_endings.htm">He puts it</a> a slightly different way. Finally, thanks for the heads up on the dates. Looks like I need to re-read the man pages for the php time() function. They should be fixed now. There are bound to be other inconsistencies with this new layout and system, as I have really done very little to test it, so any other meaningfull feedback would be appreciated. It was good hearing from you Rex, mayhaps I'll see you when I move out to Massachusetts this Winter. First let me say, damn you’re creepy, perv.
