I recently discovered an interesting site called Metababy, thanks to Kottke.org, another much more interesting, (and popular) weblog. Metababy is an "open" website where visitors can edit and add pages as they like (the most recently changed page appears as the index.html). It is most definitely a great website. The problem seems to be that because it's completely open and free, you don't want to waste your time scripting a beautiful HTML page because any Tom, Dick or Harry can just erase it in a heartbeat; but the thing is, I just don't care if they do. It's a great way to perfect your HTML skills. And come on, HTML is so damn easy anyway.
Living Vicariously

It occured to me the other night at 2:30am that I envy the characters on the TV show Undergrads. I watch the show every night now, and I am saddened by the fact that it only went one season (at least I think it only went one season). In my perfect life, I would be Gimpy.
What happened to our society when people are envying cartoon characters?
The Birds
Wednesday, February 5, 2003 10:47 p.m.
Yesterday afternoon I found a bird, (a morning dove), that was brutally injured. It was walking around as normal as can be, going about its daily life, except it had its chest ripped completely out. I saw that when it ate, the food would fall back out the gaping wound in its throat. It was very gruesome to say the least. It could still fly somehow, so I couldn't catch it.
Today I was very surprised (and dismayed) to find that the bird was still alive. I can't imagine the kind of hell the last 24 hours must have been for the bird. I tried all day to catch it. It was alot less healthy today and it seemed weak and it limped around alot, I assumed it couldn't fly but I was wrong again. I still couldn't catch it all day. It was horrible seeing that bird out there all day constantly eating because it could never get full.
A few days ago my friend told me about an idea he had to write a book about someone who is forced to live out the last second of his life in 24 hours. It occured to me that this bird did just that.
If it's still alive tomorrow I will go insane.

I've been looking for a place to make good looking weblogs, perhaps this will be the place. Not much else to say at the moment, if I decide I like this site then I'll be adding another blog today probably, I had a crazy day.
