the sad state of piracy
being a pirate used to be a romantic notion. you got to sail around on a ship robbing and stealing, getting drunk and pilliaging. you lived by your wits and you could be killed, maimed or imprizoned at any time. being a pirate in the heyday of piracy must have been an exciting thing. it's sad that most pirates today are fat pasty balding guys sitting around in their underwear in front of glowing monitors. diseases like scurvey have been replaced with computer viruses. instead of chests full of gold and jewels, the treasure todays pirates hunt for ends with the letters mp and the number 3. piracy has become the realm of the dweeby kid who had no friends. that sucks. black beard would be pissed. how did pirates go from sword fighting bad asses to guys who couldnt win in a fight against a parapalegic? it's a sad state of affairs. i'm going to start wearing an eye patch so i can feel more old school.

also ... bob swift is one of the most stellar individuals you will ever meet. this dude is so far ahead of the curve it isn't even fathomable.

i just used the word 'fathomable' ... weird.

this is what happens when i stay up all night ... and drink coffee pretty much non-stop the whole time.
