The Curse of Beauty

“The more you have had, the greater your difficulties will be without. Fortunately, there are many different forms, and some varieties are more permanent than others.

“Conventional understanding is that immediacy is typically polarized by permanence. The good news is that anyone can put on a wig and apply makeup.”

Truth in Advertising..?

I wish that I was making this up, but YouTube has been serving an almost exclusive mixture of Geek Dating icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 and Metalhead Dating icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 advertisements as of late. How does it know? Also, who in the world would have guessed that online metalhead dating could become a viable enterprise?

In typical Interweb fashion, these advertisements made their way to me by following a peculiar trail of digital breadcrumbs: I was watching a fan-made video for the Deftones song Rivière that happens to steal all of its footage from a video for the song Fantasy by Breakbot.

Regarding the metalhead dating website, I would love to crack into that database for a few hours. Just imagine the hoots and hollers that are to be had.

The Fantabulous Interweb

I just noticed that the domain pms.xxx is available. Rest assured that I was using a very different source name during my initial inquiries.

Sorry folks… Internet acronyms definitely aren’t as valuable as they used to be. Only $99.00 at GoDaddy.com. What a bargain.

Can’t wait to see who will be the lucky taker!

Happy Valentine’s Day

Received a nice little surprise today…

Everything about it is surprisingly accurate, especially the part about me being important.
