Kind of like spitting on a stranger
The title of this post was supposed to be a joke to myself combining something referenced below with one of my all time favorite bands. But as I went to link to that bands myspace page I read that just two days ago Ben, the man behind the band announced the end of the band. Well that sucks. Rest assured they will be in the next play list. Hopefully Ben gets it together and starts up a new band.
My first year of school, college, not high school, I did a google image search for, I think, "nerdy girl" or something similar to that, possibly "cute girl with glasses", I don't really remember, though now that I think about it I wonder how I didn't just get a whole lot of porn as a result, anyway this sentence has now apparently become a test to see how many commas I can get away with in one sentence, ten it would seem, unless you count the two times I typed comma out and the one right before "unless" and the one coming up right here, then fourteen. So anyway I did the search for an image reference for an illustration for what I think was a band t-shirt and one of the image results was an image slice from a site called www.vacant.cc which had the very enticing title of "spitonastranger". Wow, all of what you just read was only two sentences. Sorry. There now it's four I feel a bit better about that. Also that's the last time I count how many times I do something in this post. So the site was actually a Blog by a girl named Leah. I believe at the time she was still in high school and lived in Texas. I knew what a blog was but had never read one and never understood the appeal. It was weird and voyeuristic. Now they're kind of everywhere and I even have one. I don't like to refer to this as a blog but I do publish it on blogger.com so it's a little difficult to subscribe to that reality. Since I first found her site I have kept up with it fairly well. I don't check it every week or every day as I do with some sites but I keep up with Leah and her little life. I've read about her trips and her boyfriends and what she thinks about various topics like the great Bill Cosby and making 'Zines, does anyone remember 'Zines? Since I stumbled across the site she has gone to college, gone through a few jobs, gone through a lot of haircuts and even gotten married. I even watched clips of the wedding on Youtube that were posted there by her father. And now she herself has been posting clips on Youtube. It has been quite weird watching someone I don't know at all go through life for the brief time I've been paying attention. It makes me wonder though who may be reading this and why. I know like five people who actually read it, though my traffic stats show it's more than that, well like seven, but still I wonder who they are and how or why they found my site. But this is all also drawing some kind of weird connect to the project I just finished for the UN. One of the things that was done was getting "celebrities" on Youtube to record their thoughts on the campaign. Which was recently commented on over at Adrants. More specifically the fictional Vlogger known as Lonelygirl15 was asked to do one. It's just a bizarre mishmash or reality. Huddled with Google's purchase of Youtube for one point sixty five billion it just seems to be this time of culmination of new media or even possibly just the beginning of it. It's just been wild to sit back and realize that I have or we all have seen it happen but it's all been so irreverent. Was this what it was like to see people go into space for the first time? People just lived through the build up and thought, "Sure, that's great, good job, whatever." We are literally seeing the concept of globalization become a tangent thing through the combination of technologies and peoples desire to communicate ideas and it's just wild to observe from the inside. Or maybe it's just me.
But speaking of spaceships and the like, check this out. I did a report on quantum teleportation in college and this is one of the things I'd like to see done before I die. Or world peace, but I'd prefer teleportation.
PBS struck again on Sunday night. This kept me up until I stumbled on to Gross Point Blank, the best John Cusack movie ever, which then kept me up until five or so. But it was really good for me as I might have a mild problem with the subject matter of the documentary. Think of an elephant seeing a mouse.
I have a friend name Christina and her father is from North Korea and her mother is from South Korea. I always thought that was funny and now I just think it's relevant.
To bring this to a close as best I can, I leave you with this.

Since you are wondering, I was looking at the Bleed the Dream website after watching them live. I seen a little sword at the bottom with a G on it. I thought wtf is this? I like swords I'm going to click on it. There, you have my lame story of stumbling onto your website. As I looked through your portfolio I was amazed! You have the same style and skill I wish I had. And I noticed you did work for my other favorite band Emery. So naturally I thought you were a rad dude and I would look at your site once in awhile to see if you had updated the portfolio. Then one day there was a blog. So now i frequent your site. Yes I know I'm lame.
