Random thoughts

I haven’t updated this blog for a really long time. Largely it’s because I’m just not motivated to think of something interesting and “appropriate” to write here. I spend an exorbitant lot of time on this computer for work and when I’m using it for other purposes I just feel guilty for not working more and doing other things. Also, and this is the most annoying/fascinating/annoying-again part that most of you will probably find hard to believe: there are actually people that read whatever I put up here in hopes that they can use it against me. Sometimes I post stuff here that gets spread around certain internet message boards that then makes its way back to me when I meet people who say “oh, you’re THAT guy” who supposedly said some little thing that someone took wildly out of context and then used it to further their own crazy agenda. Yep, it’s stupid, petty, and annoying but it happens and I’d rather not feed the trolls that try to plague my life. If you are one of those people, I pity you and recommend you take up an actually constructive hobby like bicycling through the woods or learn to play the guitar to impress girls. The only thing dragging other people through the mud does is make people like me less likely to trust you with real info. When I have to watch what I say so I don’t have to spend 10x longer explaining what I really meant because of your personal agenda/vendetta/ego/whatever, it just doesn’t seem worth it to me to even bother when I already have so many things to be doing that no one else is very likely going to do if I don’t.
Now, back to what I was going to write about… dammit. I totally lost my train of thought. I guess I should go back to work anyway. I’ll try to think of something interesting for some of you (read: a very, very small but annoying fraction of a percent of you) to vilify me for.
