For the last month, I’ve been busy. Stupid busy. Retarded busy. My employer has had me working 10 to 12 hours a day six days a week. Sometimes seven. I’m doing the same job I had been doing prior, just for a better situation. I can actually afford to live, now. I’ll be upgrading the accommodations for my family, upgrading my car, potentially upgrading my computer, and hopefully in the next ten years I’ll be upgrading my career as a professional metrologist.

This is more of a ping than anything. Not that I really need to ping anyone or anything. Figured I’d let you know I still breathe. I’m still around, I’m still cooking up things to contribute, despite my complete lack of available time in which to do it. I have kids, I have gainful employment, and I have a significant other, so don’t expect much in the way of me contributing to this blog. Not that I’ve ever continually contributed to this damn thing at any point- I’ve mostly excised bits of my brain and shat them into text, all for you to analyze and use as needed.

I’m writing this because I’m bored. I’m downloading old humble bundle games via a not-so-quick WOW cable connection being borrowed. It’s a relaxing day. I’m not regretting being bored at all. It’s kind of nice to feel unplugged in some ways, yet still plugged in other ways.

I’m ready to pass out. I feel physically exhausted for seemingly no reason at all. It’s almost as though carbon monoxide is seeping into the atmosphere and replacing slowly oxygen and carbon dioxide as the typically bonded gases in my hemoglobin. I just feel energy escaping my body without the typical expenditure you would expect.

Happy Memorial Day. Now that’s out of the way, I’m going to ramble and rant about atheism.

I killed your god. I killed every single deity you could ever believe in. More than that, I truthfully am not the original cause of death of your deity. Myself, along with everyone who has ever been a reasonable and rational human being has had stake in destroying your spiritual beings.

I had read recently on Salon that there are Christians in the world who don’t believe the biblical story of Noah is factual, along with a host of other traditional stories, and relegate almost all of those “events” to basically being metaphors. Those same individuals don’t necessarily take the bible at face value as being a text of history, but entirely of religion. They’re the ones Salon claims “should not be discounted” with the rest of Christianity. I disagree. I don’t see anything written thousands of years ago by dehydrated nomads as having relevance to modern life. God is easily disproven. More than that, why should the burden of proof rest on the atheist when it comes to spirituality? That’s exactly like saying “Unicorns exist. Prove me wrong.” That isn’t logic. That’s fallacy, and that’s all Christians have. Fallacy is their bread and butter.

I found out recently that Cygwin has been including WeeChat in their packages, so I had to dive in. Found out two things. One, Cygwin has a new interface they install; Mintty.exe is fucking awesome. Two, WeeChat is just as awesome in Cygwin.

This is my current layout, which I’m sure will change multiple times.

I need to grab more cygwin packages. Fuck. Yes.

I’m shaping my blog, trimming bits here and there, and cultivating other areas that are too sparse. Look out for the NFO section. I’m adding whatever I can possibly add to it. I may add more. Probably adding links where I can.

I’ll write an actual “how-to” style post here soon. I promise. It’s bound to happen at some point.

I need to get back into computers. My hobby has pretty much gone almost entirely to the wayside. It pretty much has had to. Between work, family, and prior obligations- it hasn’t been easy to maintain a baseline working knowledge in software. I’ve managed, because luckily things haven’t changed drastically. The same can’t be said ten years from now, though. It’s important to keep up, so that when the lagging business world finally adopts what’s new, I won’t be left in the dust.

Four years ago my divorce was finalized. In that same span of time I made a depressing discovery- The realization that there are people in this world, sometimes quite a few of them, who can’t respect you and enjoy your company at the same time.

I spent a long time abandoned by every friend and family member I had, save for a single person. I have not always made the most reasonable decisions. I still don’t. I never will. I’ll choose to be myself. Only now, I’ll also take example from an amazing and inspiring person in my life. When I find someone has so much to protest about how I live my life, I’ll promptly tell that person I’m going to live how I’m going to live and if they’re staunchly opposed they can fuck off post haste.
