‘F’ is for faster

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

Last night I decided to create a blogger account. Man, the social pressure has been immense! It’s like.. being in a giant-plastic-cubic-.. box. With water! Like the water is all around and I’m just trying to figure out when I get to breathe again, but look -> Here comes the mechanical arms.. let’s see just how much pressure we can place on the poor soul before he splits. Right down the middle he splits. And how gross it has become now that we find it here. What exactly are we supposed to do with it? And who is responsible.. who is to blame. I don’t think we should tell anyone.. let them find it for themselves.. but you need an alibi of sorts.. someone who can back you up when those prosecutors are breathing down your neck. I want my lawyer. And don’t give me this crap about helping me! I know very well who you are. But why did I lie? It all clears up. The sky.. it’s clear.

Whew (is that how you spell it? I’m trying to make a sound similar to few. Like “Few, one more inch to the left and I’d be the one with flippers..” or “Few, I thought I had been discovered, but it looks like I will be allowed to continue in this.. activity.”) , I was in a panic there a minute ago. I’ve come to the conclusion that during this blogging exercise, never will I allow myself more than a moment’s rest while typing. No serious contemplating, no time for that personal thought.. now is when I choose consciousness - now is when I am writing.

So… ahem.. Last night I found my way to http://blogger.com and decided I would create my account. I had no intention of beginning my actual blog, but wanted to grab a user name and blog name before someone else took them from me (you’d be surprised, jules goes like hotcakes on these captain of my own content sites).

So I start checking the availability of various names and am quickly disappointed. Jules is used, of course. I go for the next best thing: julesf.. again no luck. I finally give up hope in finding a name that others can actually spell, and go with julesferreira. To my horror I receive the following message:





/gasp. Are you /gasping with me? The name julesferreira was already taken!

I began typing like mad as I searched for the evil that had stolen my name. Long story short.. The perpetrator was discovered.. and dealt with.. I am once again the only Jules Ferreira on this planet (well actually, it turns out I had signed up for a blogger account some months back and had forgotten doing so. A quick test of some old passwords gained me entrance to the stolen account).

Having achieved the means to blog, I set up a quick post promising content to any who could manage to discover http://julesferreira.blogspot.com/. Yes, I know the name is quite logical, but I don’t intent to alert anyone to its existence. To find this place, one must take a blind step in a direction only rumored to exist.

So I’m off to make some comments and hopefully incite some curiosity.

Discovery yields content
