This is fucking tragic
Saddest thing on the internet since that picture of the baby ducks falling through the sewer grate:

Fuck, man. He just wants his frog back. He even drew a PICTURE of the frog. And there’s such determination at the end, there: “I’ll find my frog!” he says. But, really, the frog is probably dead. That’s what frogs do. They die.
My laptop is still broken but it is less broken. I am pretty solid on the 12″ iBook. I think it’s the perfect laptop to write a novel on! And also it is pretty. I could be making a huge mistake by going Macintosh, but Kristine and Bryan’s friend Jeremy says it’s a good idea and who am I to doubt that.
The Best Things: Tomorrow! It might be about dead pets! Because all writers really want to do is make people cry.
Trying my best,
Matt

Hey man, don’t pin this on me! But I do hope you enjoy it. Can we be Mac-Pirate buddies?. The only other Mac user I know is my housemate Diane. On good days, she can turn her computer on. But she’s not stupid.
When I’m writing on this thing, especially e-mails, I definitely feel as though I should be in some romantic comedy. Or completing some Impossible Mission.
I must warn you: Steve Jobs is a douchebag, branded drug-dealer. He’ll suck you in with his rousing Gates-bashing WWDC presentations, make you wait an extra year for the OS update that actually matters, AND make you pay at least ten billion dollars for an adapter or web cam. And yet, you’ll keep lining up for just a quick iHit.
And you’ll have the sudden urge to start driving a Volkswagen.
Which you will drive to Starbucks.
While listening to Spiritualized.
On your U2 Special Edition iPod.
Other than that it’s a lot of fun hearing the screams of your housemates as their computer crashes for the tenth time that day and knowing that it’s at least, at least, ten months till yours even freezes up.
damn dude, im thinking i gotta get me one of these mac dealies…
I think, in honour of your decision to go the way of the iBook, from now on, all the songs you post on your site should be pre-id3′ed, to make it that much easier to add them to iPods.
And don’t sell out, Matt! Whatever you do!
Hey Pearle, do you use the standard white iPod headphones with your iPod? Because those just scream trendy to me. It’s like, “I’d use higher quality headphones but I’d rather everyone know I have an iPod!!” Man, that bugs me. Plus if you’re in a bad part of the city, you’d think those distinctive white headphones would be a giant “Steal From Me!” sign.
And Graphic_V Sold Out a long time ago. Everyone knows that.
Jeremy: What kind of Mac do you have, anyway? Next time we go to Starbucks together, we can talk about our Mac computers. I still refuse to say “grande” or “tall” or whatever, though. Fuck, I hate that,
Actually, they say “Rape me”. That’s how far eastside I live. Yo.
I do use the white headphones. I don’t see how they scream trendy, although I’m so out-of-touch, I wouldn’t know Trendy if it came to life, jumped me from behind, and threw one of them knitted ponchos over me. But whatever, I hardly use them, anyways; I’m on the phone so much, and people bug me to such a degree, that I can’t even listen to music for more than 30 seconds. Best purchase ever.
Anyways, you know I’m not the trendy type. And I spent way too much money in the past month to get the ‘phones I wanna get. So you’ll have to bear with your pre-conceived notions while me and Podro Martinez (that’s my iPod’s name) are there. It’s OK, maybe Podro and Booker T. (your iBook, you sell-out) can hang out.
For Halloween, I was actually thinking of being an iPod commercial. But my work’s costume day is tomorrow, which happens to be the day I get interviewed for a promotion. So I’ll be going as the State of Idaho, a la Ralph Wiggum. Gotta maintain SOME professionalism.
Who doesn’t enjoy a good stats page? Seeing how I am, somehow, the top poster, I feel an obligation to keep that trend going, despite being banned from the forum and being excommunicated by Caroline Gaston (both on my her LJ friends list and one of her FRIENDS LJ friends list — insane, I know).
Good thing that Office Christmas Special is coming to DVD. I’m sure the poignancy of the ending to the Dawn-Tim subplot would be magnified tenfolds on a television screen, for some reason.
Jack, banning you was my decision, as was removing you from the ‘blogs’ list. Caroline did not figure into it. I don’t know if it’s your astounding pretentiousness or your constant desire to be seen as IMPORTANT everywhere you go, but for some reason headaches and drama seem to follow you.
I don’t mind the comments (I like ALL comments) and I’ll probably unban you from the forum because I’m far too lazy to enforce bans, but any further attempts to stir up shit will just be deleted or edited.
Thanks,
Matt
Congratulations…you have officially increased the depression of my life here in this damp grey southern ontario autumn. I’m going to go cry in a corner now with my stuffed ducky (his name is Quinton).
Be careful not to lose him, Jessica! Oh, I would hate to see “Where is my Quintin?” posters around your town.
Just let me know when the ban expires.
Thanks,
Jack
