Defending The City
Sent to me by an aged friend of mine; sent to him by his son. I urge you not just to read it, but to hear it.
List time
I really wish there were a way to make columns here. Now this post is going to be massive. Oh well. Anyway, due to the large clamoring from the home front over never knowing what to get me for . . . well, anything, ever, I've decide...Yeah, sorry, NO.
Advertising hotlinking at present is not wanted. Not without my consent. If it was specific, and we could control what was advertised on our site, then sure. Go for it. Full speed ahead, and damn the torpedoes.
HOWEVER.
I do not appreciate seeing a 1) RANDOM link to a world made by a 2) TWELVE YEAR OLD whom 3) I DON'T KNOW.
That's not advertising. That's spam. And although it might be nice for community involvement, I'd rather have people who came to my world see a link out to a site that I would like to see them visit, AND NOT one that not only do I not know about, but I don't even frilling have control over.
Not mad at Adam by any means. This is a clear case of win-some/lose-some. That's all. And the concept can be modified, of course; most obviously to allow premium members to add their own links to that line themselves, or for stuff they want advertised to appear in special boxes on the main site, away from the world section. I wouldn't mind seeing a blurb for an art contest while I was browsing the wallpapers section or over in the chat.
Just not here. Worlds are personal, and should only advertise what their creators want advertised.
Criminy.
Why is it that parents who home-school so often forget to teach their children basic etiquette? I know eight (counted them) families whose children chew with their mouths wide the hell open, including my roommate, and my roommate from last year.
And my roommate from the year before that, sometimes. He wasn't home-schooled, though. He's a vocal major.
Good frikkin' gosh, though. Is it so blamed hard to close your accursed mouth when you chew? The heck with 'see-food', I don't wanna hear-food!
Also, instead of gasp-slurping to keep from drooling, why don't you just close your mouth when you surf the web? Goodness. That one's simple logic.
(I take this so personally because these are the people that give us only-slightly-awkward home-schooled people the reputation of being socially inept, and in some cases inebriated. And yes, that's the right word.)
(And don't even get me started on Country. Bloody hell.)
Update
Not minutes after I wrote that post, I checked my e-mail and found that my mother had gotten in contact with my friend's uncle.
The tumor first manifested two months ago, while my friend was working at Home Depot, in the form of sudden vision problems. Cody's worn glasses for a while, so that might have been only slight concern at the time, but shortly afterwards he began losing some motor control.
My mother said she wasn't told how much of his vision remains, but his motor skills are basically gone, and he's confined to a wheelchair. He's up in Nashville right now receiving treatment—thirty-six consecutive treatments. His uncle didn't mention how many he'd already had.
I will be heading home this weekend to see if I can visit him; it's been a while since we've seen each other, but he was my friend once. I don't take that lightly.
I hope I'm strong enough to see him.
