Capitalization is important, you morons! Case in point: "I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse," is much different than, "i had to help my uncle jack off a horse." Of course, that sentence could be fixed using commas: "I had to help my uncle, Jack, off a horse." But if capitalization gets the best of you, you can't be expected to even know what a comma is, let alone know how to use one. Baby steps.

Yes, e.e. cummings didn't capitalize, but you are not motherfucking e.e. cummings, and you're not writing poetry. It's lazy, and makes you look stupid. Here's how, if you've forgotten.

    Five easy steps.
  1. Place fingers on home row.
  2. Move your left hand's pinkie to the left one half inch and down one fourth inch.
  3. Depress the Shift key.
  4. Press the desired letter.
  5. Release the Shift key, and you're done.

IF ALL THE LETTERS YOU SUBSEQUENTLY TYPE ARE CAPITALS, YOU DIDN'T MOVE YOU'RE PINKIE DOWN ENOUGH. YOU'VE HIT THE CAPS LOCK KEY. IMMEDIATELY ERASE EVERYTHING YOU'VE WRITTEN SINCE THE DEPRESSION OF THE CAPS LOCK. IS NOT YOUR FRIEND EITHER, MOUTH-BREATHER.

And while we're at it, "y," "r," "u," "n," "wuz," and "wut" are not words. Furthermore, 4 != for; 2 != to or too.

If you're offended, I apologize, but I have every confidence in the world that you can deal with it.

Lovingly Yours,

You can't uninstall evil.
Tuesday, February 14, 2006

My hard drive melted (figuratively) over the weekend. I formatted it and it's sort of working at the moment. A new one is in the mail, though.

I've been trying to figure out what to do with this thing since I got it a couple months ago. Eventually content concerning the properties Cheez-Wiz will most likely make an appearance, but other than that, I don't really know. I'm not one of those poeple that hate personal websites, ala LiveJournal or Xanga. I can see how writing one can be cathartic and I enjoy reading my friends' pages. I don't know if that is what I want this to be. I hate the word "Blog" and find most of them boring. There's a subtle difference between a personal website and a Blog. I'll try to avoid the "Blogoshpere." Blogosphere has to be the word I hate most in the world. Basically any word in which "blog" is a prefix, suffix, or infix is an unholy evil.

One exception that I would make is if someone wanted to make a website about rabbits. Blogomorph would be the best name ever. Here's a list of things that make me happy to counteract that word's unpleasantness.

P.S. Remember 1996?

One word in this sentence is misspelled.

Their is three mistakes in this sentence.
Highlight: "Their" should be "There," "is" should be "are," and "three" should be "two." Because it's a lie, it's true.
