Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess when you're a grownup, it's not so long. I'm thinking of passports, and most of my friends have/had hilarious pictures of themselves as teens/early 20s.

Really? They cancelled 3lbs? Huh.

I watched the first episode On Demand but just wasn't wowed -- even though I like Stanley Tucci.

Because books.

I wasn't wowed either, but there's nothing else on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. that I like. Without meaning to be, I'm kind of over Miami Ink.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wow. I kind of meant to check it out, but forgot. Too late now!

Huh, me too. Oh well!

Naked man saved from alligator:

A naked man was saved from the jaws of a 12-foot (3.6-metre) alligator by Florida deputies after reports of a man screaming in a lake in the early hours.

Police said it was unclear why he was in the water in the early hours, but he had admitted taking crack cocaine.

OMG! Internet friends are JUST LIKE REAL FRIENDS!

Virtual communities are as important as their real-world counterparts, many members of online communities believe.

A survey found 43% of online networkers from the US felt "as strongly" about their web community as they did about their real-world friends.

I can just see that being incorporated into an earnest anti-drug campaign:

"If you smoke crack , you'll end up NAKED! In the JAWS OF AN ALLIGATOR! "

Shit's all sorts of different now.

This is your naked ass.

This is your naked ass on drugs.

This your naked ass in the mouth of a 12 foot alligator.

Any questions? Dumbass.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"It looks like some users of popular networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook have stooped so low as to actually pay real money for friends. These friends aren't even real believe it or not. You can apparently choose from a selection of 'models' to leave you customized comments to look like you have friends and are popular online.
