and so..

..i return.

from a year and a half long break out of the blogosphere, i return.

felt a need to do a memory dump of my mind onto the world wide web, heh.


also.. if you are reading this, would you be so kind as to let me know?
a slim chance but maybe you still remember me..

seven by seven by seven by seven.

believe;
declare;
express;
compose;
receive;
respect;
success.

if you will speak, they will listen.

why punctuation is important

this letter can be happy or sad, depending on how you use your punctuation:

DEAR JOHN

I WANT A MAN WHO KNOWS WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUT YOU ARE GENEROUS KIND THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT LIKE YOU ADMIT TO BEING USELESS AND INFERIOR YOU HAVE RUINED ME FOR OTHER MEN I YEARN FOR YOU I HAVE NO FEELINGS WHATSOEVER WHEN WE’RE APART I CAN BE FOREVER HAPPY WILL YOU LET ME BE YOURS

behold!

the happy:

Dear John,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy—will you let me be yours?
Gloria

the sad:

Dear John,
I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men, I yearn. For you, I have no feelings whatsoever. When we're apart, I can be forever happy. Will you let me be?
Yours,
Gloria

chuck norris knows the last digit of pi.

narnia-seeking kid got stuck in the washing machine.

read what gizmodo had to say:

Okay, so I tried to put myself in this kid's shoes. I'm looking at a steel hole. Not very exciting! I'd rather go play with a bright, flashing object instead. Apparently, we don't have the same thought process, 'cause this kid decided to dig deeper. Guess what he found? A whole bunch of OMGI'mStuck. Enter brave firefighters, who have to rip the defenseless washing machine apart with the jaws of life to free the kid. Me? I'd have just gotten a new washing machine on the spot.

-matt buchanan

now what did the washing machine do to deserve this?

it arrived this morning along with the sim hack. <3 mr. postman!

let me know if you read this at bns XD

snail > mr. postman

postal delivery's literally slower than snails in poland.

michal szybalski, an IT worker, received a letter on january 3rd that was sent on december 20th as priority mail, and calculated that a snail would've made it to his house faster.

michal's calculations:
distance between sender and home is 11.1km
294 hours for the letter to arrive at his home

speed of the letter: 0.03775km/hr
speed of common garden snail: 0.048km/hr

GOOO SNAILS!

..was what i thought at first when i read: Alien Impact Poisons Canadian Town

so apparently in a small town called gypsumville, manitoba, a meteorite stuck down about a quarter-billion years ago, causing a 40km wide crater. now the 65 people (out of 65) that live in that town are all poisoned after drinking the water from the well. studies show that a huge amount of fluoride was present, causing the toxic disaster.

doc's and mech's

a mechanic was removing engine valves from a car when he spots a famous doctor.

"ay! you're the surgeon aren't ya? c'mere fer a sec." the doctor walks over.

loudly, the mechanic continues, "so, mr. fancy doctor, look at the work i'm doing. i also take the valves out, grind 'em, put in some new parts, and when i finish, this baby will purr like a kitten. tell me now. why do you make the big bucks when we're basically doing the same thing?"

the doctor quietly replies, "try doing your work with the engine running."

it's decided

i've decided not to write in proper english. though i do not want to see the destruction of the english language through the disregarding of capitals, i realized that the template i chose CAPS LOCKS everything besides my posts. that'll be my excuse - contrast.

so from here on out, it's all lowercase baby. well, 'cept abbreviations.

but punctuation, grammar, and speeling are still very important to me. speeling? speeling.

oh noes! nobody notify the grammar police, spelling narcs, or punctuation mounted police.
