So….*T3cH*….

So check this out, I was just sitting here and reading the news story about the CL Killer guy and it got me to thinking.

For most of us, Craigslist like Twitter is something “new” that’s been given to us by the www, and it’s opened the door for more lunacy and a new way for those who’ve ever felt rejected to lash out against society and for the rest of us to keep up with our “peeps”. A guy, a med student placed an ad “For Murder”. This guy REALLY placed an ad in the newspaper(online in fact) to take a human life and the bananas shit is this guy knew what he was doing. It made me wonder how many ads he had posted before that and how many people were “test runs” and never even knew it. I betcha that guy also had a MYSPACE, what is the world coming to? Speaking of Craigslist, I got a dog and went to look at 2 more using that website, and I don’t know about you but I’ve clicked on some of the other ads(they’re hilarious), but I wonder if I should feel lucky that nothing bad happened to me. I wonder if now when people use that site for selling or buying things or whatever else they may use it for if they’ll think about the person they’re going to meet? How many more CL Killers are there? How many are on MySpace and Twitter. Man the internet is full of all kinds of people and their secrets. Oh and Twitter… a Twitter…What Are You Doing?? What the Fuck Man, ask me something else…lol.I have a Twitter and true to my natural ways I don’t even tell IT what I’m doing…My Twitter has a Twitter JUST to keep up what I’m doing.

So wow, I think I’m KINDA popular…Bowchickawowow(my word, mine), eat it BITCHES – I’ve got a MySpace, a Facebook, a Twitter, a Yahoo! Messenger, XBOX Live, a Blogger, I post on a Poetry Site(ha, betcha didn’t know that), 2 accounts with ESPN(I LOVE SPORTS), I play poker online, I have a PDA and I’m “Always Online”…So cool to be the “Coolest Guy” on MY Friends List…

<Questions To Ask>

Would you ever introduce the people that you only know online to those in your life who know you?

Do you know the last name of everyone you email?

Do you have a personal email & business email?

How often do you change your passwords?

<Answers>

I think that anyone who uses the internet should be able to put a check by EVERY question on that list, there are many more…I just wanted to give you a few of the things I go thru in my head. I have my virus software and then I have my personal security measures, and I alter it at random times each week to ensure that I don’t keep things the same.

---Now back to what I was talking about---

Damn now look at all of that and some people have the NERVE to say that they don’t know me. I have all this “TECH” stuff going on in my life yet I still read the city newspaper and not only do I read it, but I read each day like 20 times, every section, every word…lol…that’s kinda creepy…I know when I’ve read EVERY word in the newspaper, how many people do you know who can say that? hmm, I wonder what that has to say about my ADD? There is a simple secret to doing that, READ ON THE TOLIET…Duuuuudddee, Read the newspaper while you’re on the toilet, and take your time when you’re doing it. That is like the BEST way to relax and have a little “you” time, because no one like to bother you when you’re “pooping”, and if they do then just lock the door. I don’t know how we got on this subject but check this out ---->

So get ready to laugh, this is another sad/funny part of my life..SO before I go to the bathroom, I sit and think about what I have in the bathroom to read, then I scout around the house in my mind, using my photographic memory to help me remember where I saw something to read earlier, if I have a newspaper I’ll break down which sections I want to read first by “skimming” the headlines. If it turns out that I have nothing I take my PDA so that I can at least play Solitaire, if I’m home by myself then I’ll take the cordless so that I don’t have to get up, then finally after all of that I go into the bathroom and make sure that I have enough “tickets”…Oh wait –My OCD Moment- On the way to the bathroom I turn on the light in the hallway, turn it off, then turn on the light in the bathroom –That OCD Moment brought to you by TNT-, then I wipe down the seat(even in my own home) and I sit, I won’t tell you the dirty biz, but while I’m sitting there I begin to read, speaking of which –Story Break- Sorry had to get the book I’m currently reading, Which is: The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett…yeah I know it’s a Kids Book..but my kid is reading it and by reading it again for myself I have something that we can both talk about(talktoyourkids.com), anyway you get the point…just sit there read and get up when your legs start to fall asleep.

Wow, I really think that I just made a recipe for “Pooping” that’s what I call it “Pooping” Such a funny word…So back to the original topic…People I don’t want to say anything but I REALLY think that I should tell you that right now we all need to STOP for a second and look at what’s out in front of us. Those people who were killed by that guy, could still be alive if they just looked out a little in front of them. This guy lived out a movie script, he did something that we all thought that we would only see on television and in the movies. That’s not cool…Not at all and in closing - -

I may have all those sites that I mentioned and you may think that I have way too many things to do..but I just told you a little about my “Online Community” and I can do so because I now just how safe my neighborhood is. Just like the way that we teach our children about online predators we need to teach ourselves, we need to talk more to our friends and our co-workers about the hidden dangers of the ONLINE WORLD, I don’t want to ever want to have to send an email to an inbox that is no longer checked..I guess there may be an idea or two floating around in this head of mine after all…

Whew…That was quite a run huh???
