why another life story?
Yeah…I know.Everyone and their mom has a lifeSERIAL, a My Glamorous Life, or just plain News. So what makes me special?
Nothing.
The plain anonymity is refreshing. Yet is the Internet, and more specifically the WWW really anonymous? Anyone who comes to my site either personally knows me or is a friend of a friend. Thus completing only 1, maybe 2 levels of Kevin Bacon. Who said that on the Internet, we are anonymous? I didn't. Look…I have your IP address: [not available] Also I can tell you a lot about yourself. Interested? Scared? Don't be, these are just parlor tricks.
So if everyone here knows me…why create a section devoted to things people already (probably) know about you? Well, everyone has a bit of an Exhibitionist in them, this is mine coming out. So stand clear, for some riveting prose about my exciting life as a "normal" person.

Today I went to work. I was going to give my two-week notice and go work for another firm. Then I began thinking, why? I will get the same amount of experience at Office 1 as Office 2; I will just have to work on a MAC. But Office 2 will pay me more. So what, if I was in it for the money, I would be an engineer [and commit suicide]. I'm dug in Office 1. I'm a contributing member at Office 1. But you could do different projects at Office 2. And so on...for the last three weeks.Fuck
So I have been debating this for awhile. That old song, Should I Stay or should I go sums the situation up. In the end…the time I spend at either office only amounts to three more months. Let's do do some simple math:
Average Male life expectancy: 76.7 76.7 - 21.5 = 55.2 years left to live 55.2 * 12 = 662.4 months 3 / 662.4 = 4.52898550724637681159420289855e-3
OR
0.00000452% of my future life.
I need to chill out.
