i was thinking in the shower after taking a poo (patty poo) how ugly poo looks. it's brown and nasty looking. i think that in the future, the japanese (cause it's always the japanese) will genetically engineer people to poo cute little colorful spheres. in appropriately japanese colors like pink, neon green, ocean blue, orange, yellow, etc. and for an extra $10, you can poo designs of hello-kitty. harold said he always imagined that the japanese would make it so that people would poo dice. i looked at him weird. he said "it's more efficient!" yeah. right. that's fucked up. then again, they made square watermelons. hmm.

i've noticed that in pretty much everything i do online, i write in lowercase. IMs, this blog, whatever. why is that? i always reasoned that it was because i was too lazy to press shift. i think back in the day i wrote in proper case but i got lazy. sort of the internet equivalent of linguistic laziness. and the thing is that everyone else does it too. are we all lazy or is it something people picked up? the only person i know who consistently capitalizes is Pam. everyone else, lowercase. perhaps we are all subconsciously thinking that typing in proper case is too pretentious and haughty. lowercase puts everyone on the same level. "Ooh, look at me. I write in proper case. Hellz yeah!" what about ALL CAPITALS? well, that's just ugly looking and makes you look like a five year old. i mean, there's nothing wrong with typing in proper case but i'm just wondering if there's more to it than just laziness. or is it because communication on the internet is closer to speech and not to written text? think about it. when we talk, there's absolutely no emphasis on the first letter of all our sentences. so to capitalize the first letter seems futile. i'm ranting, yes? well, who gives a shit. whenever i look at blogs with proper case, the capitalized letters hurt my eyes. is it a visual thing too? Attack Of The Capitals. eh, we're all just lazy mofos.
