The Dark Cow

Running towards a brickwall is bad. Walking into one is worse

About Me

I am the dark cow of mystery, ( "cow" or "patrick" for short). I believe strongly in fortune, and that it has smiled on me in every hair-brained scheme that i have created. I believe in the connection between men, but i will not go so far as to say it is a god. Nor gods. I have seen nothing to support it. No angels on high, no demons from hell. I have only seen men helping men from the mud, and men pushing men back onto the ground. Our lives in this place are finite. We can choose to kill, to hurt, to steal. To cause pain. Or we can choose to love, to respect, to help. To cause joy. We are the only ones who can help ourselves from the mud. No God, no aliens, no angels on high. We are man. We should not think of ourselves as groups of individuals, we are individuals in a group. Mankind. It could have a nice ring to it.

My Interests

Reading. Current Events. Useless Trivia. Fixing computers. Breaking Computers. Challenging peoples beliefs. Dreaming of floating among the stars. Ninjas and Samurais fascinate me... Currently i am studying for my MCP in XP and the Security+ Certifications so i can geek out for more money doing less work then i do now. wee!

I'd like to meet:

You.

A note to Rivetheads

Shitting robots doesn't make you industrial, it makes you constipated. Random samples of star trek sound effects makes you industrial... Take for example the Beborn Beton mix of Under Decks by Fun...

GAH. Evil Corporations

And snow fell.

As i walked, the snow fell. I pressed into the cold to find that quiet in my mind to think. Each foot fall brought the slight crunch of fresh snow becoming ice. all around me fell the snow, a constant...
