Don’t subscribe to true.com. It’s a damn scam.

Just see how the business advertises itself. It claims to be a dating service that matches people based on some kind of compatibility index (I tried it just for shits and giggles, it asks you like 100 questions to determine whatever mental profile or some bullshit that you are). However, the ads are all pictures of females in various states of undress… hardly relating to that compatibility index that’s supposed to be their distinguishing characteristic.
And besides, within the last two days I’ve been getting spammed by the truebeginnings.com, which is from true.com to let me know when a “girl” has “winked” at me. Let it be known all the “girls” that “winked” at me are just empty profiles with no descriptions. Seeing as how I haven’t even visited the site for over 2 months, have never subscribed to them ever, it is extremely suspect that suddenly I become very popular over one weekend. It doesn’t add up, for me. I can only believe that they’re just fluffing me with random profiles, and that these “girls” don’t really exist. It’s additionally suspect seeing as how I’ve hidden my profile and I’m still getting winks. It’s additionally additionally suspect seeing as how I try to cancel my account, and the account cancellation page doesn’t seem to work correctly.
I hate these people. The internet can be used in so many more better ways, but I guess right now it’s the new “wild wild west”, the new lawless frontier where roadside bandits run free with no law enforcement to hunt them down. My fellow internet denizens, be like the pioneers of the days of the old west and arm yourselves. Arm yourselves with knowledge.

Well, I got about 15 mins before I have to report for BAY HO. 
But I’ll spend ten of those blabbing here.
Off duty time has been kind of a drag. I have less than 5 friends that I think I can hang out with… I guess it takes time if you’re not a damn social butterfly. I’ve been picking up alot of volunteer projects just to get out of the dorms and out doing *something* with all this free time I have. Lately though (within the last 7 days) I’ve been hacking away at my formerly-defunct website just to tool around with PHP and MySQL… I need to keep my scripting skills refreshed lest I toss them to the wind like so much useless Hip-Hop dance class information (Yeah… I got suckered into that when I was 17 but I’ll leave that story for another day….).
Anyway, off duty last couple of days has consisted of working on this site and hacking through Metal Gear Solid 3. I really like the game, it has a cool retro vibe due to the setting (the height of the Cold War) and music (throwbacks to old James Bond flicks, complete with the sexy theme songs… just do a search for “Snake Eater” on your favorite fileshare network of choice. Acutally don’t, I’m opposed to piracy. 
). God I love that theme song.
What else… I was cleaning out my desk yesterday and I found the rosary I picked up back in BMT way in the back of one of my drawers. God always surprises me the way he tells me to do stuff. As soon as I picked up my rosary I felt this electric shock in my body, and I knew I had to go to church. It’s weird. The shock wasn’t pain, it was a rush of energy, like I was suddenly imbued with the Spirit for a few moments. I had to go to church because I realized I haven’t experienced that kind of soul-moving for a long time… pretty much since Confirmation and coming to this base. Anyway, church was revitalizing, and I am renewed with spiritual energy, the kind of juice that lets me handle any situation, no matter how mentally draining or otherwise trying it can be. Thank you God.
Speaking of mentally draining, It’s Bay Ho inf 5 minutes! Hooray! At least I’ll have some actual cleaning to do today, seeing as how over the weekend I didn’t do jack around the dorm. I’m going to run through that list and make sure I do each and every item today.
Oh… Happy Halloween! And happy birthday to a couple of friends that happen to be born today. In previous years, not this year. I don’t know too many fetuses personally. Actually… that’s kind of creepy just thinking about it.
Creepy like Halloween! Hooray!
