I’ve taken a short (long) hiatus. It felt good not to have an underlying responsibility to a website, but I feel liek I ought to – it’s fun.
Did you know that the Berserks were a group of Vikings who would go into battle naked? It explains the word origin. I wonder who went trawling through a history book looking for people to be made into terms.
Being made into terms – is that a word? Termify? Termitize? Etymonize? Get to work on that, Linguists.
Guns don’t kill people. Bullets do. I still cannot figure out how to make a new line on this entry system. A lot of music is what I call ‘white’. This can be interpreted as white noise mostly, or silence mostly. A lot of indie music especially is mostly empty noise. I think that’s better than blaring guitars and synths.
Have you ever wished you could own a hazmat suit?I have been trying to load my new song. In the meantime, here is my site full of music.http://web.mac.com/tbxt/Music/Home.htmlHave fun!
Oh, wow.
I finally found a video of one of TMBG’s new songs:
Withered Hope
And their Malcom in the Middle theme song, which I really like.

Today I sampled The Else on the iTunes Music Store and I give it a very high review. Go and listen to it. They also have a set of Venue Songs that I recommend.
Using the same random experimentation as yesterday, I’ve created a whole new set of cool spinny things. Click for full.
I’ve been working on a new routine involving BASE jumping and Fear Factor. I’ll post it when I’ve gotten all the kinks worked out. I might need to start carrying around a notebook for sudden flashes of ideas. They happen all the time and then I forget them. One happened earlier today but I can’t remember what it was. I can remember where I was, what I was doing, and even what time it was, but not it. Isn’t that weird?
Jim Gaffigan is probably my favorite comedian ever. I bought his routine off of the iTunes Store, and I can’t watch it enough.
I tried to do well with my performance today, but I’m afraid I may have talked too fast. I had to tell a story about myself to a large group of people, for review. Unfortunately, when I’m nervous, I tend to talk nearly as fast as I think. And, as we all know, thought moves at the speed of light. (Nervous System.)
I hate it that almost any Flash Drive I buy comes with trial software that takes up nearly a third of all the space. Then, I get worried that if I delete any of it, the Drive won’t work, which of course it will. They sell as 4GB when they’re actually more like 3.7GB with .3 of free stuff, which I hate. You can only remove the stuff on a Mac, so people give me their Drives to empty. I’d better go do that now.
I haven’t had much time for posting recently, and I apologize. Little bits and smidgens are all I can afford.
Every day I take the bus to and from my place of sitting. And every day on the bus, there seems to be a number of inconsiderate people who are obstructive, annoying, and just plain rude. I have encountered all eight of these people numerous times.The Eight Types of Inconsiderate People for Bus or Subway1. The Wide One: The person who sits with his legs wide open. This can further be divided into two categories.1a. The Two-Seater: The person who takes up two seats. It’s okay if he has a package that’s just too big for the aisle, but this is just plain rude.1b. The Obstructer: The person who sits wide-open, but is on an end seat, so his legs extend into the hallway. Usually he is listening to music and can’t hear you asking him to move, so you can get through.2. The Listener: The person who listens to music and can’t hear you trying to get through. The difference from the Obstructer is that he is usually either singing, humming, or nodding violently. They listen through headphones turned up so loud you can actually hear the song. It’s worse than a boom box.3. The Shifter: The person who struggles his way to the back of the bus, even though there’s no room. He usually ends up packed next to me and some other person, complaining loudly about how if everyone just moved back like him, there’d be more room.4. The Crowd: Technically this is a group of people, friends, who get on together. One of them finds a single-seat and the rest of the group bunches around him. If the crowd is more then thee people, the aisle is obstructed and the flow can’t get through. When the frontmost person asks why the crowd doesn’t move back, the crowd shrugs.5. The Carriager: The rule on buses is to fold up your carriage when you get on, but some stubborn people have no intention of waking up their luggage and carrying them. Worse is when the luggage is not a baby, but groceries. These cannot be rocked in the arms and also smell slightly.6. The Rock: The person who sits perfectly still when people around him get off. If you’re packed next to me and the person next to you gets off, slide over. You’ll provide yourself – and me – a few seconds of freedom before someone else, preferably with a less puffy coat, gets on.7. The Discussioners: The group of people who all seem to know each other intimately, and insist on talking and exchanging goods and services over other people’s laps. Often these people will have loud personal discussions involving things I just don’t need to hear.8. The Talkers: The person who just happens to have their cellphone with them and, seeing as nothing interesting is going on around them, starts talking. More often than not, the person will proceed to talk loudly with unnecessary hand movements and hysterical laughter. Worse still is the person who plays games on their phone, the kind that involve lots of beeps and the person chanting: “Go, Go, Go!“. This also applies to PSPers.9. Me: The person who delicately hates these people and punishes them through blogish humilitation. If you know you’re one of these people, take it unto yourself to stop.

Have you ever noticed that there is no correct way to dispose of chewing gum? You can either lean over a garbage can and spit it out, trying to ignore the fumes coming from the garbage, or you can pick it out with your fingers and attempt to fling it off into the garbage can.
There has got to be a more polite way to dispose of gum.
