La Belle Vie

It's not paranoia if they're really watching you...

In keeping with the above entry (or i guess actually the entry below) about the dangers of unregulated blogging, i'm just going to go ahead and directly copy what Jin had to say in his xanga today:
"i was browsing the web today, and stumbled onto this one guy's site. now this guy researched the venture capital bankrolling every college student's favorite site these days--thefacebook.com. now one of the companies keeping the facebook afloat has ties to the cia. combine that with the facebook's disclaimer of not promising it won't release information to third parties, unbeknownst to the user, and we can speculate that the cia is doing a wonderful job of getting private information from the nation's 3-4 (?) million college students. and, of course, whichever government agency or security-affiliated corporation is collecting this information is probably immune to lawsuits thanks to our buddy the patriot act. i'll try to get the link to that site, but remember kids, be careful of what you put on your facebook profile and what groups you join."
hahaha. oh yeah, and just in case you missed it, the House extended the Patriot Act yesterday. War is Peace and Freedom is Slavery, kids.

But you know what? i'm not actually going to worry about that right now. It's friday, and i'd rather worry about what i should wear to go hang out in an executive skybox at the Sox game tonight, and whether we should go to the 57th Street beach or the Point to swim and tan tomorrow, and whether i'll have time to see all the movies i want to see this weekend

love y'all - enjoy the 100-degree weather!
