The filesharing war rages on. People have been saying for a while that Comcast has been interfering with network traffic in an attempt to stifle filesharing. Comcast, of course, denies this, but the evidence is stacked against them. Now, apparently this is old news, but finally somebody is going to sue them over this. Sweet.

Seen: A new Shave Everywhere ad. I remember a couple years ago, this site was promoting the Body Groom product, which was specifically made for shaving "problem areas." Now they have a new theme (nose hair, "second puberty"). The new theme seems kind of inconsistent. I feel like the mood of the live-action sequences and the mood of the informational pamphlet on the site are completely different. Either way, I really like this as a viral marketing site, though I guess I liked the old one better. I feel like this could take off if it was marketed more aggressively.

I'm boring.

Black Friday! I mean, yeah, Thanksgiving, whatever. I'm totally thankful for everything I have. I'm just saying, I think I deserve high-def.

I've been reading Blink and it's been freaking me out how much of my thinking goes on behind closed doors. See, in the last few nights, I've had several close calls with hitting deer. I'm glad I didn't hit them, but man, I could use the insurance money. Anyway, it occurs to me that when I swerve to avoid a deer, I'm not really thinking logically - I didn't plan my reaction out in my head. It just happened. I instinctively knew what to do.

Some of those subconscious thoughts are tied to emotions. A lot of times, if something is stressing me out, I have a hard time trying to figure out why. I think that the reason I've been feeling kind of lost lately is that I've felt too overwhelmed to deal with my stresses. I just suffer (suffer might be too strong a word) through them.

As of late, I've been more open with people, and I think that it's been helping. When I have to talk about a problem, I start to think, "Why do I feel this way?" It helps me figure out why I feel the way I do about something, or how I can best deal with it. Even putting up bullshit on this site can feel cathartic at times, just because when I have to put everything into words, I need to organize everything and tie up loose ends. It gives me a fuller perspective of whatever I'm thinking about.

Which is to say, people aren't as bad as you think. Some even have good advice. Like, who knew that my parents, who have been around for much longer than I have, might actually be right about anything?

On another note, you are encouraged to get the "How to Ruin Your Life" audiobook by Ben Stein. It's one solid hour of Ben Stein berating you for your selfish flaws. I can find bits of myself and everyone I know in it when I listen to it. It's great.
