What Happens in Vegas…
by Miller on Oct.14, 2008, under Miller's Posts
I both love and despise that stupid city.
At nighttime, Vegas is like a grown-ups’ carnival with boobs. In the daytime, its like you have a permanent hangover, even when you didn’t drink the night before. You just spend the day waiting for the night so you can dress all fancy thinking maybe someone might look at you over their liquor, in which case it most definately would be best to look nice, because I’ll be damned if a drunken stranger thinks I’m unattractive. The days ar filled with conversations like:
“What do you wanna do?”
“I don’t know. Wanna check out the pool”
“Yeah, sure. I guess.”
Pointless. And when you’re leaving you spend a solid hour or so on the road thinking how overratted strip clubs are and how they’re all whores and that one named “Ecstasy” should go die. Then you get home and you think to yourself, “Damnit, it was a fun trip. I want to go back.”
Screw you Vegas. Screw you.
On the bright side, I have well over a hundred porn cards. They hand ‘em out like crazy!!
The Political Machine
by Miller on Oct.08, 2008, under Miller's Posts
So the election is coming up. I think I know how its going to turn out, but you can never tell in politics these days. But I sure as hell know who I want sworn in. Both sides are feverishly trying to win my vote that I will cast in a state that hasn’t changed color since the 80’s, which makes me sad. Not because I feel like my vote doesn’t matter (I know that that in addition to the president part there are a bunch of other stuff for me to vote on), but that it makes other people I talk to feel like their vote doesn’t matter, and then they don’t vote. So vote.
Am I the only one who was super excited to vote before I turned 18? Am I the only one who had my older brother’s friend vote for me in 2004 becuase he otherwise didn’t care and I wanted to vote but couldn’t? Either way, I feel like this election seems like less of a debate and more of everyone just taking the opportunity to complain and blame moan about how much they hate everything. Sure, have your dissentions and disagreements, but if you’re the type who will never be happy with who’s in power, then I hate you. I just got all burnt out on the whole partisan thing.
But damnit if I don’t love the West Wing.

from noise addicts some guy told his laptop to turn the digits of pi into music….
The software progressively calculates the sequence of digits in pi, starting at 3.14 and progressing towards infinity. As the program calculates the digits, it feeds the results into an algorithmic music generator containing my structural criteria for house music. The resulting piece of house music is infinitely long and static and never repeats itself.

I think Bryan is a blog whore. 3 Posts in a row. Ridiculous.
Also, I’ve decided I hate money. You want more of it just so you can get rid of it. Dumb. On the plus side, I just bought Iron Man. Today is not a total loss. Happy Independence Day, Lesotho.
Hooray!

Hey Everybody!
First off let me say welcome you dumb dumb stupid people. Ok, so I can be kind of a jerk, you either were so offended you left or you stuck around. If its the latter then I feel like I have established it early on so that you cant bitch about it later.
Second off let me say that I am pretty excited for this blog. David (hereafter reffered to as: bitch, miller, countertop) was really excited about the four of us starting a blog. He’s been working pretty hard to get this thing up and running and i have to give him credit for that. See I can be considerate.
Third off, I’ve been trying to figure out how I want to do my posts. I know that I want to have some stream of consciousness world view type posts. I dont think I’ll post a lot of: first i got up and noticed my door was open, took shower, combed hair. I know that I want to post up stuff that I like and that I find. I have alot of blogs that I follow and I will probably present my favorites from them to you (I’ll have to try to define who you is later).
It’s been a good run

This isn’t easy by any means. I want to thank everyone who has been reading us these last 15 months. We’ve come along way since we first started this blog. I feel like you have gotten to know me and from your comments I feel like I have gotten to know you too. We’ve seen alot of stuff happen over that time, we’ve laughed together, we’ve fought about the little things, and stuggled together through the big things.
Most of you know by now that the four of us will no longer be continuing this blog, our shared residence or our friendship. I don’t want to place blame here. I want to keep this short and sweet.
No matter whose side you fell on throughout this ”carpet fiasco” I want to thank you.
enough of that nice guy crap.
everyone else sucks. check out firstdoorontheleft.com
Making a website sucks
by Miller on Oct.03, 2008, under Miller's Posts
So we got the idea to make a website because one of the four of us said “Hey, we should make a website.”
So I did. None of us know how to make a website, but damnit I wanted to make one. And now you’re reading the blog of the website made by one of the most “coding” illiterate people out there. The rest of the guys aren’t even fully set up yet. Its just me. I’m sitting here alone on Friday night (my girlfriend is at work, lest ye be judging) figuring out how to configure FTP and servers and whatnot and whoever. But hey, we exist as a “domain” now.
I like that that is what they call it. A web address is called the domain. It’s like the nerd who invented the internet wanted it to sound super cool and crazy.
Well, I think I’m gonna go play some Warhammer Online. That my girlfriend bought for me. Lest ye judge.
