You know what burns me?
Matches.
Just kidding. I'm here to talk about the so called "hackors" and "elitists" that plague the AOL chatrooms. I mean, seriously do these people have no lives whatsoever?
What's the purpose of sitting in a chatroom allllll day long and doing nothing but running programs? My inside source tells me that only one of them is even above the age of 18. So, basically, in the chatroom I frequent regularly, only one out of 73.4 "hackers" is actually older than I am. Geezus H. Christ, even I have more of a life than that.
And I think it's hilarious that these people call themselves "hackers" or "crackers" or what-the-fuck-ever. Know why? Because they can't do a damn thing. Not a single one of them knows the first thing about C++ or virii or Superbit(I don't know where this name came from, leave me alone) or probably even how many bytes are in a megabyte. All they know how to do is double click an icon and run it. Ooooooh, wow, what technical prowess! I fear for my life! Not even the guy that started bringing them in the chatroom has a clue what he's doing. He just downloads the programs and edits them a wee bit.
Yeah, I'm getting really scared now, dontcha know.
The funniest part about these people is how they type and their screen names. Apparently they're special because their screen names are in all lowercase letters. Oooh, big man. You're tough with a screen names like "u suxx0r" and "im a newb". Here's one for you... "i still live with mom." How about "daddy touched me when i was 5?" On top of that, they also type in all lowercase letters and try to make fancy emoticons. Wow, I ph34r ur l337 n3kk1d 5k1ll5.
And the scrolling thing... give me a break, it's fucking stupid already. What do you accomplish by scrolling randomly colored letters or little smiley faces for 3 hours in a chatroom? Are you really so lifeless that you get a kick out of sitting and staring at a screen scrolling down, filled with this shit for hour upon hour upon hour upon hour upon hour upon hour? Me thinks there's some people out there that need to get laid, and for once, I'm not one of them.
This whole "hacker language" think is pretty ridiculous too. Here's the basic key:
5 = s
3 = e
4 = a
7 = t
1 = i
2 = r
8 = b
And probably some others that don't really matter. Here's something maybe they'll understand:
4v324g3 m4l3: 8==========>
4v324g3 h4ck32: 8=>
Yeah, that was lame. Leave me the hell alone.
Man, I hate this hacko's, as one mysteriously gay, gothic, and vegan person I know puts it.
In conclusion: People that scroll bots in chatrooms are juvenile little fuckers that need to get a life and possibly a girlfriend, and Armand is still pathetically homosexually and gothically vegetarian.

Here's a Package to Unwrap
So, uh, I'm Leroy Zombie. Norrin is making me do this. He has me locked in his basement, all he lets me eat is goat cheese and sauer kraut. Please GOD send somebody to help me, he touches me in sexual wa-
Brian David Mitchell sings during a hearing Friday.
SALT LAKE CITY (Dec. 3) - A judge ordered a new round competency evaluations in the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping case Friday after the suspect broke out in a Christmas hymn at a court hearing.
Judge Judith Atherton's order came after Brian David Mitchell closed his eyes and sang, "Oh come, oh come, Immanuel," the name he used as a street preacher.
After about 40 seconds of the tune, the judge ordered Mitchell from the courtroom.
"That's enough, Mr. Mitchell, but that's great," she said. "He sings well."
Mitchell's lawyers said he had grown increasingly delusional in jail since September, when the judge declared him competent after seven months of dueling evaluations.
The judge said she was impatient with defense efforts to delay trial but set the competency hearings for Jan. 6-7. She said the trial will begin as planned on Feb. 1.
Mitchell, a self-proclaimed prophet, has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and other charges in the knifepoint abduction of Elizabeth from her bedroom in 2002, when she was 14.
Mitchell's lawyers declined to take questions from reporters outside court Friday.
Prosecutors did not oppose the new hearings but said the song didn't convince them that Mitchell was unfit for trial.
"That indicates odd behavior, but all criminal behavior is odd," Deputy District Attorney Kent Morgan said outside court.
Mitchell and his wife, Wanda Barzee, were charged after they were found with Elizabeth along a suburban street in March 2003. The girl was allegedly taken into the foothills near the home, sexually assaulted and kept as Mitchell's second wife.
Along with kidnapping, Mitchell and Barzee face charges of aggravated sexual assault, aggravated burglary and conspiracy.
Barzee has been twice deemed incompetent to stand trial and is undergoing treatment at a state mental hospital. She is scheduled for reevaluation in August.
According to court documents, Mitchell says a "revelation from God" motivated him to take Elizabeth.

So this guy gets exactly what he wants by getting in the Christmas spirit? Man, that must be the life. I wish I could get whatever I wanted by singing Frosty the Snowman.
I bet Scott Peterson wishes he thought of this first. He might have gotten the "innocent" ruling had he broke out a rousing rendition of Jingle Bell Rock!
Or not. I could be wrong.
Something tells me that this "revelation from God" that Mitchell heard is really just him overhearing God singing in the shower. And what the hell kind of name is "Barzee" anyway? What? Is that Polish?
Wait, if God sings in the shower... what does he read when he's on the crapper?
The Odyssey? No, too old-fashioned...
The King James Bible? Who reads a book about themselves? Not like it'll tell him anything he doesn't already know.
Harry Potter? Of course! That has to be it! Who doesn't love reading about the kooky adventures of that wily little wizard?!
...Man, that's deep.

What If God Was One Of Us?
I was singing in the shower this morning when I had a revelation. Does God sing in the shower? I pondered this thought, my loofa sponge pressed against my temple as I studied this vision (God wearing a shower cap, dancing in place, and singing "Girls Just Want To Have Fun"). Then, I came to the conclusion- of course he would sing in the shower. I'm made in God's image, they say, so surely he would also enjoy harmonizing while cleansing his godly extremities. But then the real question hit me- what would he sing? For some reason, Cyndi Lauper, love her as I may, wouldn't be God's style. For some reason, I think he would be a Beatles fan (which is a weird thought for me, since I don't care much for the Fab Four). So, after a complete review of my inner being and soul, I would believe God sings "Strawberry Fields" in the shower!
I Called The Witch Doctor, He Told Me...
Teacher, Alleged Sex Victim Did Witchcraft
Friday, December 03, 2004
SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. — A teacher and a 14-year-old former female student whom she is accused of sexually assaulting participated in witchcraft together and even "wed" in a pagan ritual, police said.
Elizabeth Miklosovic, 36, a teacher at South Haven's Baseline Middle School, was arraigned Thursday on a charge of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
If convicted, Miklosovic faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. She remained jailed Friday on $100,000 bond.
Miklosovic, a seventh-grade language arts teacher, lives with another woman and their adopted son, authorities said. She was placed on leave from her job.
The student told police that she and Miklosovic had about five sexual encounters from June to October in the teacher's home and two parks.
Miklosovic has no previous criminal record in Michigan, state police records show.
Detective Sgt. Diane Oppenheim of the state police post in South Haven said the student — who was described as having emotional problems — came to trust the teacher so much, she agreed to "marry" the woman in a pagan ritual.
"They also participated in witchcraft together," Oppenheim said.
Both Miklosovic and her lawyer declined to comment.

A New Team Member
I would like to introduce a new personality to SS9090. A very good friend who I find to be witty and insightful, will be making a contribution to the blog, whenever he sees fit. I also feel he'll bring a "balance to the force" so to speak. His voice is very different from mine, which is what I like (I think he makes a more descriptive speaker than I). He's also very funny and easy to relate to on a human level. Just, an all-around good guy, and good writer.
So, I'd like to say "Welcome Aboard" to Leroy Zombie!

Audioblogger
For some reason I decided to play around with Audioblogger. I don't know, man. I guess it could be useful if you had something to say while you were away from a computer for an extended period of time, but my blog has nothing to really do with my life. I don't talk about my everyday life, unless it has a funny moment. Plus, I think my voice sounds fuckin' STUPID on the phone. I've recorded a few times, and erased it after listening to the playback. In my opinion, the sound quality is not the best, either. It sounds like someone discovered your voice on a phonograph record in their grandma's attic.
Will I ever use it? I don't know, maybe. I'll have to think of a comedic use for it. Or maybe just one time for people to get an idea what I sound like in person. For the moment however, I'm undecided.

Reefer Madness
Smoking pot increases psychosis risk in young people, especially among those who are already vulnerable to psychosis.
That's the conclusion of a study of more than 2,400 German teens and young adults aged 14-24.
Participants' substance use and psychosis symptoms were tracked for about four years. Psychologists interviewed participants at the study's beginning and end.
The research was conducted by experts from Maastricht University in the Netherlands, including Jim van Os, a professor in the university's psychiatry and neuropsychology department. Their study appears in today's edition of BMJ Online First.
At the study's start, 13 percent said they had smoked marijuana at least five times. Four years later, about 17 percent of all participants had had at least one psychotic symptom.
Psychotic symptoms include hallucinations, such as seeing or hearing things that aren't really there, and delusions, which are false beliefs that do not go away with logical or accurate information. Other possible psychotic symptoms are incoherent speech, confused thinking, and strange behavior. The most common psychotic disorder is schizophrenia.
Pot smokers were more likely to have psychotic symptoms than those who didn't smoke pot. The more pot that participants smoked, the greater their chance of having at least one psychotic symptom. The risk held after screening out other influences including alcohol and other drugs.
Pot had "a much stronger effect" on psychotically predisposed participants, say the researchers. People who have a family member with psychotic symptoms are more likely to suffer similar symptoms themselves.
It's not the first time that marijuana has been linked to psychosis. But until now, no one knew which came first -- the psychosis or the pot use. Were participants using pot to soothe their psychological problems?
Probably not, say the researchers. Psychotic predisposition wasn't a good predictor of future pot use, they note.
Youth may be a particularly risky time for pot use.
Puberty is "a vulnerable period" for pot's negative effects, say the researchers, citing studies of lab rats. Pot's active ingredients may interact with brain chemicals to create negative psychological side effects, they say.
In 2002, a study published in the British Medical Journal linked frequent marijuana use at a young age - more than 50 times -- to an increase in schizophrenia later in life. Similar to the current study, this previous research showed that the more pot people smoked, the more likely they were to suffer psychosis.
Another study published in the same issue showed that daily pot smoking as a teen increased the risk of depression as an adult. When that study was released in 2004, researcher Louise Arseneault, PhD, told WebMD that their research suggested that there is a direct causal link between pot smoking and psychological problems that cannot be explained by tendency toward mental illness.
