merging the past and the present

The Egyptians had a concept of an afterlife, but not a concept of a virtual life.

I found an Egyptian hieroglyphics translator on slashdot today. So, I tried to translate my virtual identities in some stupid gesture to connect the ultra-modern with an ancient past. I was only a little surprised when they didn't have a word for moderation or DOT COM. So i got creative.


Moderationclub = "Restraint City"
Moderation club translated as restraint city. why did I choose restraint city? No superpower can emerge without it's citizenry adopting some concept of moderation I knew the ancient Egyptians had to have some concept of this word. a search for moderate or moderation turned up nothing. I had to break out a thesaurus and settle for what i consider to be a word on the cruel end of moderation, "restraint."
In ancient Egypt there was a total unity except for a caste system. the closest thing to a club that was documented by their religious caste (their historians) was the concept of a caste. I consider my blog to be a blog for all people so rather than choose a caste, I decided to translate club to city. It is a shame because archaeologists have found cuneiform graffiti. This could be clear evidence of gangs or clubs however no mention of them is made in the official written history of that era.



RobotRodeo = "Metal tool of life and power Contest"
This is a no brainer. what is a robot? a robot is a tool. Yes, i know robot can be made out of plastic. yes i know there is Jewish folk-tales of a clay gollum that was fed scrolls with written instructions and would carry out those instructions and might as well have been a robot. So why did i choose metal? because metal robots are what I identify with.
Life and power seemed like a reasonable translation of living machine.
What is a rodeo if it is not a contest? I don't know where the word rodeo even came from it probably is a gaucho word from Argentina. It is funny how contemporary cowboy culture downplays is roots in early Spanish colonial culture. In any case it does sound cooler than farm and ranch laborer skills contest.

When we are all floating around in cyberspace with vr headsets i will make another blog post about how similar this is to the concept of aboriginal afterlife they call "dreamtime".

lost in the blogoshpere (lost in the internet)

i haven't been updating much because i have been working on getting my local web server up and running so i can learn more stuff about computers.

also, i have been exploring the blogosphere. I signed up for a few more services such as pownce and twitter and have been busy seeing whats going on with those networks. rss feeds have renewed my interest in the blogosphere and yahoo pipes and google reader is helping me organize all the information.

hahah oh man i finaly gave in

I made a freaking myspace survey and posted it as a bulletin!!! hahaa

i got kind of upset because i found a mistake in it after posted it but oh well!

I can say that i know you but do I really know you?

Chilling outside

Today i sat outside and listened to music and finished reading this wacky book

IRL hobbies

I have known for a while that it is time to get a Hobby IRL (in real life) .

I used to cook as a hobby but how much can a man eat?

Here are some other things that should have been fantastic hobbies but didn't pan out:

• going to the gym
  Ultimately I was doin' it for the babes. They have better things to do. Also the only people at the gym are people that are already in pretty good shape.
  

• golf
  This should have been perfect. Going out side, walking around, and hitting stuff. what went wrong? fees, pretentiousness, strange attitudes.
  

• baseball
  have you ever tried to get more than 2 of your friends to meet at the same place at the same time?

• camping
  used to not have the time now i don't have the money. Also, no air conditioning.
  

• walking
  boooring, also, how many places can i walk to?
  

• card sharping
  too dangerous, also, cheaters never prosper.
  

• photography
  fun for a few weeks then you run out of things to photograph.

• painting
  i have to really be in the mood for it. Also, to easy too fall into the mindset of a tortured artist.
  

• learn a musical instrument
  too frustrating, always end up listening to music anyway, so why not just drop the act and listen to music.
