If shit ain't crazy - it's just shit.
Stolen from Craigslist, but so eloquent...
1) People who say "music is my life," but don't play an instrument or sing at all. Kind of lazy, no? Let me clue you in: your only relation to music is that you consume it. You are to TV on the Radio what a geek is to Star Wars: a hobbyist. Don't pretend to understand music you have no idea how to perform or analyze just because you have a humanities degree.2) People who say they enjoy "eating, hanging out, movies, going out with friends." EVERYONE DOES THESE THINGS. Do you like sleeping? Me too! We should totally hang out!
3) People who say that they hate "fake people and liars." It doesn't help that they usually spell it "liers." Who ARE all these fake people running around that I keep hearing about? If everybody hates fake people, then how can there be anyone left to be fake? Maybe the fake people just don't have Myspace pages. Yeah, that must be it.

6) "wut's up" You goddamned fucking retard. One letter cannot possibly cost you enough time that it's worth sacrificing your dignity.

So last week, I decided, eh, wtf am I doing using MT-specific site designs. So I downloaded trial versions of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Dreamweaver.
I figured that I should try them out and see if I could get this whole designer thing. I even ordered a few books off Amazon.com on it. Seems to be a lot easier than I thought. Within two weekends, this site was completely redesigned, with the nice bubbly feel (with dropshadows!). Took some getting used to cutting things up in imageready, and figuring out a CSS quirk with floats (one of the few times Mozilla acts badly when IE plays nice.).
It's quite a feeling, knowing you can produce not only the CMS, but the more important look and feel of the site.
Now I gotta read up on my photoshop so I can make crazier site designs and see what I can do.
Wish me luck!
It's the most wonderful time of the year. Random things pop up (Mark Foley), random stories from the past emerge (George Allen), two years of debate will come to a head. And I'm in the middle of it. I'd like to get my life back. But we got an election to win first.
