I guess that means its the best of all worlds, but without all the crap there was in previous albums. This is exciting stuff. Talk to you tomorrow.

Yes, I am very concerned with the way people act. Maybe because I care too much or maybe as I was once told– I stand on a high horse looking down on everyone else. Either way, I’m glad that web pages are up and that once again Rock had the courage to let things go. A lot of people said a lot of nasty stuff. Half the server hates the other half. I really don’t think any of us are friends anymore. No one has the right to slander anyone… except for me because you know I rule like that 🙂 Seriously, I think that no matter who did what we have all done some pretty shitty stuff to each other. I’m seriously thinking about going elsewhere. I have the means now. I have the knowledge. Hell, I’ve been at this stupid Net stuff for over 6 years now. Everyone is so angry. What is everyone angry at? I’m not sure. I know this though: My life is good. I have a really silly job that haggles me, but at least I have enough cash to get by. I have an incredible wife that I love more than anyone else in the world. My family is great and totally cares about both of us. I have some nice friends who help out from time to time when they aren’t fighting with us. Digitalflood.com started out about unity, but I guess the crew just isn’t there anymore. I feel like I’m on my own now with the exception of my wife. The only person I really can count on is Azazel. Everyone else is busy pointing out who is doing what and meantime no one is doing anything worthwhile. There is so much out there that needs to be fixed and we resort ourselves to wasting our time arguing or doing stupid immature shit. There are people starving, being downsized, pushed around, and babies dying. No one seems to care. The RIAA is about to close down our shop and clamp down on our world, but no one cares. So go ahead do whatever you want… I’ll be on my horse on the hilltop waiting for the next crusade. I hope one day you’ll join me.

Classic DF – 12/3/99

Dec. 3, 1999: Noteworthy News: NASA has landed on Mars with a space craft that will “hear” what Mars sounds like… sort of. A promising new drug seems to eliminate leukemia, a big step towards eradicating cancer. A new cookie “hole” has been found in e-mail. The Free PC movement has flopped on its face. Chanukah starts at sun down this evening. EarthLink has a hole in its software. Germany may ban Windows 2000, but not due to monopoly problems… we’re talking religion here. Keep an eye on the stock market… it just capped 11, 000 plus as the NASDAQ continues to soar. Look for an early pull out around Christmas (no pun intended) and another normalization period… maybe 🙂 That’s if Y2K doesn’t obliterate us, LOL. DF 10990 News: Marlin’s Place features a response to yesterday’s post… big surprise. And as predicted (maybe I’m physic too) he denied everything and got pissy. Of course, innocent people don’t get pissy, but then again he may not be exactly innocent after all, hmmmmm. The lesson to be learned Sam: don’t open your big fucking mouth if you don’t have anything interesting to say (BTW I didn’t say anything to anyone… however, I forgot you trust the whore who screwed you over again and again over the people who had your back while she was doing it). Mervernation makes sense of the the whole auto industry trend towards rice burners and ummmm… he’s right. Melissa defends me over on her news page, but more importantly she has been sober for over seven months today. Once again I’m proud of her and love her with all my heart 🙂 Rock‘s web page is still down, but you got to dig that white on white motif! Speaking of Rock and his server I’ve come to a conclusion. I’m ready to make a public statement on DF’s opinion on Jeph.Net‘s future. In recent days Tom has added his Korpios.Net. I see he has moved his stuff around. Undoubtedly, rumors have been flying that he is mad at Marlin and Red Raven for attempting to oust him. Jeff has let me know that Tom is a necessity to this web page’s continued service. Immortalis asked me if I was backing Tom the other day. So here is the response: I’m backing DF.com. It’s Jeff’s server so I leave it to Jeff to make the decision on what to do. Either way the virtual domain for azazel.digitalflood.com won’t get registered. And frankly almost every person has become as trust worthy as another with a few exceptions (you know who you are). I only wish that Immy’s web page was restored… and one day I hope that will come to pass. Clearly now the enemy is not one person. Nor is it one side, but multiple fragmented fights. I grow tired of the infighting. The hate mail. The eggs on my car (Jesus can’t you people grow up?). The accusations. The stupid posts back and forth. The dumb ass opinions of a bunch of ummmmm…. dumb ass opinion people 🙂 I’d rather focus on my marriage, my wife, my family, and my job then on them. So I will continue to work on a revamped DF.com Portal. I will continue to develop a new interface. And yes, I will continue to decimate the news to the masses that matters. BTW Tom… I got dibs on Warwick 10990… hell, I coined the phrase… And that is what I will continue to do… piss everyone off! Stay tuned for our next post when in our upcoming holiday post Mel and I will be conquering a small third world country…
