I fergot again.
My notes sheet again. Phoo. So now what do I say? I suppose I could always start taking my notes down in an email and have them sent to me for when I get home, in the future!. That could work pretty well.
Or perhaps I could talk some about open-source software and anarchism, like this guy does in his article. Then again, to do that successfully, I think I'd need to know more. I've decided that I believe in the ideals of pure anarchism, (the optimistic kind, not the chaos-burning-mobrule kind) but like Communism straight up, getting there would be impossible. Perhaps for a small group, like a commune or something, but for a nation? Ain't gonna happen. If we could just snap our fingers and bam! Instant politico-economic revolution, maybe. But last time I checked, that doesn't happen too often. In addition, I'm not that vehement about my political and economic leanings. My politi-compass score is Economic Left/Right: -3.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.69, which puts me in roughly similar leanings as Nelson Mandela or the Dalai Lama but less extreme (closer to the middle), according to the site. Go figure. Still far lefter/libertarianer than Bush or Martin.
Or or or.... I could point your attention towards this American Idol type. From the accent, I'd say more like Scandinavian Idol, but one never can tell. Personally, I like the webcam antics of Dela and Ort (be sure to watch Chop Suey and Happy Hardcore) for webcam entertainment, but I suppose if you like Aicha, who am I to argue?
Or finally, I could become a political sellout and start promoting this guy continually. I'd vote for him and so should you. 'Course, if I wanted to get all political and stuff, then I'd rather you watch these. See, Jon Stewart is already a very comical guy in my opinion, and his take on the 911 hearings is just plain golden gravy. My favorite bit is where Richard Clarke says "It is not a matter of morals, it is a matter of politics." (Or something like that.)
So yeah. There's plenty to talk about, but I just can't decide. This could be chalked up to the fact that I only have four more days of work left! And I get to go home on Saturday! Trust me, the glee will be building and building until I need to let it all out Friday night or something, lest I explode. Then again, I hear exploding is pretty down with all the kids these days, so we'll see. ¶ 6:37 p.m.
