The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

Having watched a video recently - a TED talk - I've installed a blocker on my computer for...well, something that rhymes with 'horn.' Heh, the irony is, I can't even type the word because then if I return to this thread, the blocker will block it. Anyway, the TED talk was about how a man's libido decreases considerably, and isolation raises. Apparently, ED is common, as well. And I'll be perfectly honest, that's been pretty the extent of my "dating life" pretty much since I moved from Toronto and my dating life in general, the more I think about it. I've fully admitted for a long time that I have an addiction, so I'm finally doing something about it.

After testing it on some of my commonly used sites, it seems to work incredibly well. Sadly, it also blocks one of my favourite webcomics - Menage A 3. One loss among many webcomics isn't much to cry about. I've also deleted anything saved.

So yeah, I don't know how this'll affect me, overall. Hopefully, it'll be good. Hell, might even help me in my social and dating life, who knows? But I know I've had an addiction for a while, now, so we'll see.

I had an uncle who installed some such similar program to break his porn habit when he got married and started having kids. Basically it was a program that triggered if his web browser brought up porn sites, and the event triggered was it would email tattle notes to addresses he had supplied when installing the program.

I don't know if it worked or not. I didn't ask any more after I found out what it was.

I could see that working if you had kids and wanted to monitor their internet usage. I don't think that would work well for 'horn' addicts.

As someone who is fascinated with obsessions, I applaud your efforts, and look forward to hearing what you discover.

Even the internet has been cock-blocked for you now.

Though I do wish you well in this endeavor.

Actually, if you are using an accountability partner, somebody that is trying to help you overcome the addiction if could be quite helpful. When somebody is will to call you out and do it with YOUR best interest at heart it's worth it.

Do the internet standard alternative spellings of "horn" also set off your filter? Things like hr0n? Because all of this talk about "horn" just keeps reminding me of Futurama.

So, can I just say how much I love running? Because I really do.

I had one of the best runs yesterday; It was just me, a little Flogging Molly and the canyon road in front of me. It was overcast, with a slight breeze: perfect weather. Feeling the wind lick past me was glorious. I reveled in the savory burn as my legs pounded the dirt. The feeling of being all alone, jogging the mountains is a moment surpased by few. Sweet air inflated my lungs with each breath, and it earned the right to be called 'A Perfect Run'. Mmm, so good.

And in a rare switch, my legs gave up before my lungs.

Also, I just want to say how much I love hamburgers. Like, a whole lot. And I would like one right now.

I did succeed in getting that burger, I'll totally share with you. =^^=

I've had friends tell me I act like I'm drunk all the time, so..I'll be the drunkard and you can be high. Oh wait..it's 'pot' day isn't it?

I had a great conversation with one of my students today, who came in professing it's "Bob Marley's Birthday". Problem was, he wasn't using it as code--although the guy has smoked himself to some far off planet--and we had a great conversation about when Bob Marley was actually born (Like February 6, it turns out), and what 420 means. To which he goes, "Well thanks, now I have a reason to be so high right now". Yeah buddyyy

I actually don't smoke pot and did not catch that correlation at all.

Also drunk right now.

I kind of want to see how this works where you're drunk and I'm sober, and you send me a "GOOOOSE >: I" for once. I miss the days we sat and talked about bullshit over some sort of messaging system.

Long story short, I shut down the one facebook account, made a new name, then got bored of that name, and renamed myself the old name. Can I find you, or do I need to PM you my new FB name?
