This and that, but not the other


     Have you ever really hated something? I'm not talking about the lukewarm, uninspiring sort of hate that makes you curse and hit people. I'm talking about the rage that sets your blood on fire and gives you the power to destroy worlds. I've hated something that way, and it's the Microsoft Auto-Installation Wizard . If you are offended by cursing, and if you enjoy writing tiresome emails to the authors of offensive material, you are invited to skip this.

     Sometimes I like to daydream about the way life could be.

     This was written during a particularly dark period in my undergraduate academic career.
