Gaaaah!
Thanks, Google, for providing a new and convenient way to keep people from visiting my website. I really appreciate it. I do.
I understand that ad money is why everyone wants their servers to be the only ones I visit, but fuck off - I visit because you do one thing well. You don't do everything well, or even passably. Stop being a shitty piece of Windows software from the last decade that with every release did more and more things and became my default program for everything from opening .zip files to watching porn. No. Gmail is a handy and well-coded email app. It's passable as webmail gets, and a great secondary email option. Thanks. But no, I don't want to chat on your servers. And I certainly don't want to Facebook on your servers - I barely want to Facebook on Facebook's servers. And while we're at it, I don't want to email on Facebook's servers, especially not with the shitty, slow and buggy app that they have running. I don't want to chat on *your* servers, either. Thanks. I've been IMing since before you were born, and the other guys do it better. So stop.
Anyway, I'm not going to become some annoying ad guy being all "Check out my new post!" and then posting a link on facebook, twitter, Gmail picasa, flickr and friendster about it. I'm just going to write and assume that if you want to read it, you'll come read it. Of course, maybe that's why my readership is so low. Fuck advertising.
I'm not in a bad mood - honestly. I'm in fucking Hawaii - it's impossible to be in a bad mood here. Of course, I'm also working, so maybe I *am* in a bad mood. I dunno. At least it's Friday. Not that Friday means anything in the world of rock touring, but still, it's Friday. So enjoy it.
It's true. Closed. But only to pedestrians. And only at some unspecified time that includes the awesome pre-dawn light.
