There is far too much love in this extended virtual world we call the internet. Everywhere I look it’s just love, love, love. Examples?

“So… how many people hate weblogs? Moreover, how many people hate this weblog?”

radiofree: one can’t hate blogs, just bloggers – “Nope, Rich, just you (not even your blog, just you).”

Lucky 13: “I remember a saying that went, ‘a thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters could produce the complete works of Shakespere’. Now, thanks to the internet, we can see that this is certainly not true.”

Hmm. I love you all too.

Microdoc News: Why Some People Hate Weblogs – “Weblogs are one of the most fascinating developments, yet also one of the most hated objects of the Internet. Some say weblogs are bad journalism or personal junk; being unedited and unauthorized why should we let weblogs clog up the systems of the Internet?”

So… how many people hate weblogs? Moreover, how many people hate this weblog?

Congrats Ducks. Really, who would have thought they were gonna get this far? Giguere is an amazing goalie and completely deserves the Conn Smythe.

Congrats Devils! 3 Cups in 9 years is pretty amazing. They’re so damn dominant at home and tonight was no exception. Brodeur is the best in the league now and it’s great to see him win.

Hmm. Up 3-0. 3 minutes left.

Here’s an AIM conversation (very little edited) I had with someone a little while ago about my scale. The scale.p class=”small”>rogueXnine: You want to hear my scale real quick?
font color=”red”>unnamed: sure
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: ok…
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine:
spacer size=”16″ type=”horizontal”>4. Pretty – physically attractive
spacer size=”16″ type=”horizontal”>3. Cute – possesses certain characteristics of cuteness
spacer size=”16″ type=”horizontal”>2. Intelligent – mentally attractive
spacer size=”16″ type=”horizontal”>1. Beautiful – all of the above
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: That’s kind of always how it’s been for me.
font color=”red”>unnamed: whats cuteness?
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: Hmm. Ok…
font color=”red”>unnamed: i’m makin ya think!
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: Yeah.
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: I mean I wrote this down a while ago too.
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: It’s the same thing.
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: …
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: Cute – contains "pretty", a certain precious charm maybe, contains part "intelligent"
font color=”red”>unnamed: ok more thinking…. how about when an actress is considered cute? or do they get a whole new scale?
font color=”red”>unnamed: cause the intelligence is harder to measure
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: It’s not a physical characteristic nor mental. More of a way someone presents themself.
font color=”red”>unnamed: a part of personality?
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: Most definitely!
font color=”red”>unnamed: ok so do women who act get the same scale?
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: If they act and I can tell, they aren’t intelligent, therefore, aren’t cute.
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: Dude, I am so posting this conversation on my blog.
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: does it make sense?
font color=”red”>unnamed: yes i think it does
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: k
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: That’s always been my scale.
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: 2, 3, 4 are kind of even. 1 is ultimate.
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: And I’ve only met one "beautiful" in my lifetime.
font color=”red”>unnamed: i’ve met my share of hot and sexy’s
font color=”red”>unnamed: my scale must be easier on people
font color=”red”>unnamed: but thats cool you put that much thought into it
font color=”red”>unnamed: cause i get the feeling a lot of guys are really arbitrary when it comes to girls
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: I wrote this huge thing on it a couple years ago. I should find it.
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: Maybe, but I don’t think I am. I know what I want and I don’t think I could ever settle.
font color=”red”>unnamed: settle for less than?
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: Less than beautiful.
font color=”red”>unnamed: wow
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: But that’s not it either!
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: It has to be completely reciprocated on their part too. Or else why bother?
font color=”red”>unnamed: oh in how they think of you
font color=”red”>unnamed: makes sense
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: God I hope so. I mean this is really it.

font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: please say you have that entire conversation
font color=”red”>unnamed: i log everything
font color=”blue”>rogueXnine: Cool. Can ya send it to me please?

I really hope that made sense to everyone because it makes complete sense to me.

Alright, so today wasn’t really a Best Buy Tuesday because I never went there specifically, but the spirit still remains.

The release of iSync 1.1 today really put me into high gear on getting a new phone to replace my super crappy, extra chinsy, and forever reception-less Sony Ericsson T68i. In the end, I changed my mind because I didn’t like what was currently available. Anyone have some recommendations for a reliable GSM phone?

In what I was thinking to be another fruitless attempt, I called up the Apple Store Pasadena thinking maybe, just maybe, they’d have the ever elusive Griffin iTrip in. Guess what? They did. “Save me that shit! I’ll be there in 15 minutes!” So I picked that up and the iCharger by Monster Cable (last car charger broke 10 seconds after I opened it). Done and done.

What would a Tuesday be without buying DVDs? Made myself a quick stop over at Tower Records and picked up what was one of the most fun movies last year, Die Another Day (my full review here). Also picked up About Schmidt and The Fast And The Furious: Tricked Out Edition.

Tuesdays are most definitely love/hate days. Mmm… new stuff. Ugh… less money.
