Don’t get me twisted - I am all for the idea of improving something. What I do take offense to is when a change is made and things break. It wouldn’t even bother me so much that something was changed and not fully tested before its release, if it werent for the fact that these [...]
My favorite time to work on the Internet is at night. The reasons for this are many, from the peace and quiet to the low level of obtruding sunlight. But above all, my Comcast cable broadband connection screams between the hours of 10PM and 6AM. When all of the teenagers are asleep [...]
It surprises me that MySpace is now a mandatory thing. If you want to be friends with someone these days, you have to have a MySpace account. If not, you miss out on gossip, you never get invited anywhere, and it takes years to see those pictures your friend took last weekend with their camera [...]
I have learned many invaluable life lessons since I reached adulthood. None, however, are as important as the lesson I learned about self-incrimination. Growing up, I was led to believe that members of law enforcement were “the good guys,” so I naturally assumed this when I first had occasion to be involved with [...]
I spent no less than five tedious, boring days without an Internet connection at home. Now, some may see this and bash me for feeling sorry for myself when more than 50,000 of my fellow Chicagoans spent almost as much time without power. But, in defense of my position, I feel that having power but [...]
Being an IT professional, I often find myself knee deep in a computer problem at 3:30 in the morning.

For one thing, there isn’t a constant buzz of annoying users wanting an answer to [...]

Life is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you go on it you think it is real because that is how powerful our minds really are. The ride goes up and down and around [...]
Somedays i sit, staring out the window.
Watching this world pass me by.
Sometimes i think, there’s nothin to live for, i almost break down and cry.
Sometimes i think im crazy, im crazy o so crazy, why i am here am i just wastin my time?

It all makes [...]
Today is filled with anger,
fueled with hidden hate.
Scared of being outcast,
afraid of common fate.
Today is built on tragedies,
which no one wants to face,
Nightmares of humanity

Children bred with ruthlessness
because no one at home cares
Tonight I lay my head down
but the pressure never stops
wearing at my sanity,
content when [...]
