By the way…

A tip for reading this blog: even when I’m serious, I’m not serious.

I don’t believe half of the stuff I say nor would I defend it. Half of the beauty of a blog is that you get a chance to change your mind and nobody calls you on it.

A momentary burst of materialism the third day of February cost me a job the third day of May. It’s funny, because even while I was writing that, I didn’t believe it.

It’s hard to prove who you are when even you don’t know.

Boy, anger sure helps the grieving process

Stage 1: Disbelief.
Stage 2: Anger.
Stage 3: Bargaining.
Stage 4: Acceptance.

What they really need is a step 5: you get your way and all the bad things go away.

P.S. (5.5.2006) The last line is a joke. I know it sounds infantile and sophomoric. That’s sort of the point. *sigh* Sorry you missed it, I’ll try to make my humour more brutish next time.

:((

Well, I’ve neglected you all semester because I cared more about doing a good job at work than having friends or a family or a social life or a relationship. And the posts I did that were simply me trying to explain away my love for this damned paper came back to bite me (I’d link you to them, but I don’t want to remember them, quite frankly). I made my boss cry. I feel worse than dirt.
I’m done with this. I’m through being a kid. Grow up, Carlos.

I’m shutting down my Web site, I’m through with Myspace and Facebook. No more Pix Capacitor.

I just want it all to go away.

If you want to contact me, pixel_q_styx [at] yahoo will probably be the only way to do that from now on.

Update: I take most of this post back. It sucked getting broadsided in that interview because of stuff I’d written here before, but forget that. I am un-cancelling my myspace account and renewing payment on this website.

Updated Update (6.5.6): Remember that time I posted that girl’s passport number as a joke? Ha ha, it turns out that kind of thing isn’t funny. My myspace is gone because I posted the ‘deactivate account’ link here. Ooopsie!
