yep! i will be in northern new york state for the next two weeks, camping out! 
and you know what that means… 
i will be out of the loop from the SDMB for the duration. 
so, if anything notable happens, such as earth being claimed by aliens, cecil being revealed as the omniscient synthetic computer-based sentience he is, or just something really cool happening on the board, post it here so i can know what’s been happening while i was gone!
this will probably be my last post for most of the rest of the month, but i will still be on hand for the rest of the evening and possibly early tomorrow, so, i guess i might be able to fit one more in…
and as thus is said… I’M OFF! <whoosh!>
[sub]i hope i haven’t overestimated my network of friends and relations on the board…[/sub]
I decided to pad my post count.
well i just got back, and i am posting this before i even take a look at the rest of the boards.
apperently, nothing happened whatsoever in the time i was gone.
how suprising.
That’s the beautiful thing- The first time I spent a couple weeks cut off from “civilization” I was very excited to catch up on the News “I wonder what happened while I was gone, Wow…”
Same shit, different day. We’re just fed a bunch of crap via the media, and in fact throwing away the television is one of the smartest things a human can do. Camping taught me that indirectly.
i learned that lesson about ‘the crap of news’ a long time ago, and well, i was actually sorta hoping that some famous celebrity would die while i was gone and it would all subside by the time i got back, so i could say to myself “see? look what splurdge i managed to avoid! hooray for me!”.
it’s not as if i actually watch the daily television news or something, and wanted updates on that biased pointless crap. however, i haven’t quite reached the point of throwing out my TV, but only for the sake of comedy central. that is the best way to waste time, in my opinion; don’t have to deal with the world, you just get to laugh.
