There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Funny Search Engine Queries
Every domain owner does it. Glances now and then (sometimes more then now and then) at the search terms by which visitors find their site. Some are understandable, some are bizzare, some are of course people looking for pr0n, and some are just funny. Take this one about hockey: 25 Feb, Sat, 20:25:18 Google: WHAT IS A FUCKING short handed goal? I love that they actually capitalized the first part. And how it wasn't just "what is a short handed goal" it's "what is a fucking short handed goal". This was one irritated searcher!  The answer really isn't that terribly hard to find (try hockey glossery" or wiki, but I'll help out future searchers. When a team gets a penalty, the player who caused the penalty goes and sits in the penalty box. Think of it like a time out. Minor penalties are 2 minutes, majors are 5 minutes. (Under some circumstances there are game misconduct penalties where the player is ejected from the game but that's getting ahead of the point.) Anyway, the team who got the penalty is now down a player. Making them "short handed." (It's also known as five-on-four since there are normally five players per team on the ice at a time. If you're down one, you've only got four players instead while the other team still has five.) This gives an advantage to the full-strength team known as a power play. Anyway, if the short handed team (the one who is a man down because of the penalty) manages to score a goal, it's called a short-handed goal. Basically, it means you defied the odds by not only holding your own against one extra opponent, but you snagged control of the puck and scored despite being down a player. So short-handed goal is a goal scored while the team is down a player because of a penatly. See? Simple. Hope the poor searcher finds the answer some day. And that when they do, they're not so frustrated trying to find it.
