If nothing else, I suppose this website should be a journal of my encounters with the law. From now on, every encounter with the police that I have shall be on here.

Tonight, about half an hour ago I was getting a ride home with a co-worker when we were pulled over for speeding I guess. As the one cop was dealing with the driver, his partner came to my side and asked for my identification as well. I don’t know if that is standard procedure or if my suspicious-looking demeanor brought it on, but it made me feel like part of the experience. I was informed that I have changed a bit since the photo was taken and this is correct, because I have not shaved in quite some. We also made small talk about the weather. So that’s my experience with the police for just now. Not as cool as the one last Summer when I was clearly suspected of being an evil man prowling the night. I guess cars make a difference.

In other news, apparently the current food crisis in the world has caused a raise in the price of rice to an extent that stores mentioned on the Daily Show and Colbert have been limiting the amount of rice that people can buy at any given time. It’s like a rice price crisis. And since I eat rice about four times a week I feel justified in saying this is potentially the Worst Thing Happening on this planet at this moment (I apologize to everyone being murdered right now. You’ll just have to do better next time). Of course, as believer in a world without currency I would like to see it solved by providing rice farmers with all they need to survive so that they can grow rice without having to worry about profits and all that. That might could help keep rice prices nice.

I’d also apply that logic to pretty much every food grower, service provider and good manufacturer you could name. If we all give everybody our stuff for free, they won’t need to charge us for theirs.

Sure, systems based on human decency seem like they’d never work, but you have to admit it would be nice.

Y’know, since I removed the ability to comment on two of my post (this and this). I have not received ANY spam comments. I wonder what was so special about those that made them targets of all the spammers of the world?

Anyway, I have to come up with a million dollar idea and fast? What do people need more? Robot waiters that are programmed to explode if you order everything in Aramaic or genetically engineered fish who can build underwater statues of birds? I only have the resources to one of these ideas at a time and I have no idea where to start.

Haiku!

Yo, my hostages.
I suppose you want freedom.
Are your parents rich?

Once again, I have nothing particularly interesting to speak of involving my own life. But I do have that trip to New York coming up next month. I anticipate that it, even though very brief, will be pretty sweet. But apart from that, I can honestly say that I could not really tell my life at this point from my life a year ago. There’s really not been much change.

I totally managed to lose my paycheck yesterday. A message was left on my telephone answering machine message device machine that told me some guy had found it and… and that’s where the guy got cut off by the end of the message. So I had no idea how to find this guy. He said his name, but since he was talking into the intercom in the lobby of this building, the sound was not great. I thought it was “Rob Drone” but I may have just been hearing that because it sounds like it would be an awesome name for a robot. Anyway, as I pondered how to get in touch with this guy and gets my moneys, I found that he had tucked it in through the slot on my mailbox. His mechanical brain saved the day and I got my pay. Of course, I have no way of thanking him in person, so I will just say on here that I am thankful to the man/android who returned my check to me.

I also spent yesterday without the Internet access, but that ordeal is over too. Yesterday weren’t nothing but trouble.

I finished my trial of the Online Star Wars. I enjoyed it such that if it were free I would keep playing, but I ain’t gonna pay.

If I had arisen from bed in time today I would have gone grocery shopping, but I didn’t. I rarely go “grocery shopping” for real, instead opting to just buy enough for the one meal at hand. But today I would have gone and bought a bunch of stuff. It’s a moot point now though. Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow. But then it’s also a possibility I will be eaten by a giant wolf, so who knows? The future is so unpredictable.

I realized yesterday that I have forgotten the rules to Heads Up Seven Up. My entire education has been wasted.

Apart from this, I haven’t got a whole lot going on to speak about. I’ll be at work an hour and a half from now and I’ll think of something cool to say and then about twelve hours from now I’ll be home and will have forgotten it. That is all.

Stupid thing that PDR does too often: Opening doors quickly and they smash into my toes. It isn’t a problem when I’m wearing shoes, but when I’m not it can hurt. Granted I do stuff that’s way stupider than that, but this one happens more often than those. That’s what makes those ones special.

Another stupid thing, is that I still haven’t got my sleeping schedule back on track. I think, if I were independently wealthy, I would just abandon the whole nocturnally/diurnal systems and just go to sleep when I got tired and wake up whenever I was done. It may not quite work all the time, but it would be less problematic than spending hours laying awake and trying to get to sleep, which is a great waste of a few hours.

And finally, I would like all Spanish-speaking people to say “Hijole” more often. It would please me.
