I'm mad as hell and I can't take it any more...

I suppose this has been coming for a long time, perhaps since Al Gore invented the web in the early 90's. He would call me and say "Mitch, I have taken over ARPA-net and think you should sell books and name your website after a tribe of really large females", I thought there was no future in this.

The next month, Al called and said "Mitch, I know there is no such thing as an online auction and there are only three people online, but how-about making an auction site and calling it sickbay, or ix-nay, or something like that..."

I thought this idea was up there with "Pizza in a cup" and "Wax Lips" but my html skills are only rivaled by my ability to speak politely to people with differing political viewpoints.... I have none.

But seeing as over ten years have passed as many times as I keep threatening to share my over-opinionated views with strangers, I have always been to busy/lazy to attempt this concept.... until tonight. Now I can no longer spare the world, I have to say what is on my mind, even if it means I have to spend the rest of my life saying "I was only kidding" to the interrogators in Cuba.

As I have no intention of getting myself on a federal "watch list" with my first post, I will limited my viewpoints and just mention that I like tech, I like gadgets, Indian Classical Music is a major part of my life, but I am not from India, nor am I related to anyone who is/was. Asian food, all things Macintosh, Digital Photography, Computer Graphics and Video, Audiophile, Videophile, DVD collecting, Sushi, Anime, Video Gaming and playing Tabla are my primary interests.

I'm not very happy with my country at this point, I didn't vote for the current administration and think that their politics are immoral. This doesn't mean that I don't love my country, I just don't like the hypocrites that are attempting to govern it and it's people (and the rest of the friggin world) at this time.

I like people, I respect others that have differing opinions, as long as they can support them with real facts and not "parrot back" half baked ideas that they have heard on less than reputable broadcasts and publications.

I don't know where this will lead, either I will give up quickly, or it will be a way for me to vent without disturbing others.

I hope someone gets a chance to read this and if you are intelligent and open-minded, it will excite you, and if you are an idiot, it will annoy you to no end!

then I will gladly state- Mission Accomplished!

Cheers-
Mitch
