Thanks for the birthday wishes everybody. Sorry I'm so late in responding. Honestly, SG is just really fucking boring anymore. Truth is, the site sucks. It sucks the ass.
True, I joined up in the first place all those years ago for the tits. But I stayed for the community. One by one though, the community faded away. Frankly, the only real substantive contributor anymore is FTR, yet he's shouted down over some of the most contrite bullshit by some CE regulars who don't contribute anything substantive of their own. I'm tired of it.
SG really had something approaching the level of GQ or Rolling Stone in terms of an excellent politics and culture section (Wil Wheaton!), but they flushed that away a few years ago when they (effectively) killed the Newswire. Now it's just a tits site with a boring forum. The only thing that really gets it moving are the hapless Internet trolls.
The random friend requests from SG Hopefuls are pretty annoying too. I've never talked or interacted with you, and we're not going to be friends either! Stop trying to pad your friend count. It's really pathetic.
Sometimes I post over on Forumopolis under the same name, and play Team Fortress 2 with some of those guys/gals as well. It's cool.
I guess I'll be in and out of here until my account is up.
Boring!

Please save my baby! Jeudy Francia, a woman in her 20s, shrieked outside the St.-Esprit Hospital in the city. Her child, a girl about 4 years old, writhed in pain in the hospitals chaotic courtyard, near where a handful of bodies lay under white blankets. There is no one, nothing, no medicines, no explanations for why my daughter is going to die.
If you need more persuasion you can view photographs of the destruction from the NY Times on my blog.
