A Pixelated Mind

Curse words are interesting. People that overuse them reveal their ignorance, people that don’t use them reveal their prudishness.

I think they’re interesting. I don’t think they’re special or rude in any particular way (they’re sounds. Rude is the intention behind them), so I don’t get why people censor themselves or other people (or their children. Gosh that pisses me off, but more on that later).

Personally, I curse whenever I feel it’ll add something to the conversation (whether positive or negative. I just like talking, damn it!). Most of the rest of the time, I just abbreviate. I think it works better in that it’s a ‘…delayed shock.’

For instance:

F. those F-ing F-ers up their M.F-ing A., you S.O.B!
Or, Why don’t you just S. my M.F-ing D. you I. C-rag. You can sit your T. on this S. and T. your G.D. F-ing A-Hole until you B. from your G-die S.

B!

Ha ha. I’m funny.
And if you’re offended by that, you’re probably reading too far into it.

“There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We can reduce the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to… The Outer Limits“

Do you ever wonder why the bad guys never realize that they’re bad? And how they never realize that they’re going overboard? Like in the movie Scarface, if he’d retired when he amounted the first tonne of cocaine, he could have lived… Same for Blow.
Is it the bad guys that are stupid, or is it just humans in general? If it’s humans, then why do we never see the same for the good guys? Is it that we wouldn’t notice the same traits in good people or is it that these are fictional characters who would never actually exist?
Either way, isn’t that just sad?

The temperature is approximately 70 degrees right now (Fahrenheit. Approximately 21.1 degrees Celsius). Nice, ain’t it?

Never mind that it’s technically the low for today. The high was 104 (40 degrees Celsius). Apparently, this will continue for another week. Luckily, today we managed to get the Air Conditioner turned on. It’s been running non-stop since six p.m. And it’s still hot.

You know what scares me? The fact that I’m going to go to Australia in nine weeks and there’s parts of Australia that are at 116 right now (44 Celsius).

Yeah, I’m an idiot.

*sigh* No more Bible talk. I usually don’t shy away from confrontations, but my heart’s just not in this, and I know it’ll be a pretty terrible battle soon.

In fact, no more witty observations about day-to-day life. I find that my life is so completely different from other people’s, that anything I comment on will be totally wasted.
For instance:

• Don’t you just hate it when you’re solving a Rubik’s Revenge and you have those two middle pieces left over at the end and you just don’t know how to get them?
• Or how about when you lend a friend $1200 so that he can buy and sell a Canon XL2 and earn a reasonable return, but you’re afraid he’ll get hoodwinked and you’ll be even more screwed for your exchange to Australia.. (more…)

Apparently, someone has a problem with one of my positions. Now, while I fully believe that I am correct, I accept that I was just picking a fight to see who’d comment.It’s a terrible method of seeing if I’m being read, I know, but I didn’t do it consciously. In any case, I’m sorry to any Super Christians I may have offended (you never hear about Super Jews. I wonder where they’re all hiding..).

Anyway, back to the argument:

I contend that no book (or series of books) deserves a radio station dedicated to interpreting it. My argument was a reductio ad absurdum attack on Christian radio. The only reason I ended up embracing the conclusion was because I love absurdity. I would love nothing more than to tune into 90.3 FM and hear them discussing how Senate Bill 64 affects Harry Potterians and how everyone should show up and protest. I would love to hear them discuss what Rowling intended by a certain passage.
The idea amuses me.

Sorry if it doesn’t amuse you.
