Merry Christmas to You All
December 24th, 2006 by 5cents
Be sure to:
Drink lots of booze,
Get plenty of snooze,
Get laid,
Get paid,
Eat a plenty,
Forego the toke at 4.20,
For everyone’s health be thankful,
When giving out expensive presents don’t be bashful,
Be sure to spread goodwill,
If eating out offer to spring for the bill,
A new year is around the corner,
Approach it with zest instead of like a mourner.
Yep, that’s my attempt to be poetic and just a tad profound. Pretty lame, but I believe you get the picture. If you’re not Christian, I don’t care, it’s all about the holiday spirit and feeling that’s in the air. One love and Merry Christmas.

We always joke about the rise of the machines. The Matrix trilogy reinforced that for the current generation. Apparently though, other worldly and informed people actually dedicated their valuable time (and I assume considerable resources) to do what stoners do on the couch with the fellas/gals. This made it to the BBC front page no less, article 
Sexy Dutch reader Dagsy did her PhD thesis in genocide. Her book is a fascinating read for those of you who are so chipper, you can read 300 pages of death, destruction and the reasons behind it all without several doses of Xanax. What I’ve read so far is well written and highly informative if quite depressing. In all seriousness though, genocide has been a fork up humanity’s ass for centuries now and while we all squirm because it’s uncomfortable, no one actually makes a serious effort to remove said fork from said derriere. I am guilty of the same and as such shall certainly be reading the entire book with hope that I can be motivated to act. We could all show a little compassion and action.
For those of you that think the next big disaster (terrorist attack, nuclear winter, earthquake, super-cold-reverse hurricane a la “The Day After Tomorrow”) is just around the corner (that’ll be fully 50% of the US population then), you’ll want to purchase your very own ICE-Qube.
A little something Papa 5cents sent me from the sub continent.
You know how I keep going on about Firefox for PC users? Well, aside from the extensibility of the browser, the inherent security that comes from being open source and the fact you aren’t furthering the lumbering monopolistic entity that is Microsoft Corp, here’s further confirmation that they are indeed the best internet browser out there. You see, while their old icon was pretty nifty and arresting to the eyes, they decided an overhaul was in order to make it more human, more personal, more in touch with our inner selves so to speak. What do I think of the new design? Well, it’s certainly warm and cuddly. I don’t know what it is, but it makes me feel utterly safe and comforted while surfing the net. See the new logo inside and get Firefox 2 
Frequent visitors will have noticed that the site design and color scheme have been all over the place lately. For those that don’t know, I’m color blind (red-green-brown deficient), so picking colors that work together has always been a chore for me. That’s why I always need someone with me to buy clothes, etc.
