Have you been in a place once before time,
Before you knew that you once had a life?
That the scenery was all so nostalgic,
That you almost felt like you were for once home?

The moment you close your eyes,
A soft touch of the wind,
Felt from within a touch on your cheek,
As pure and as divine that it froze your mind,

A place where you could hide,
When the world was cruel and fate seemed ill,
A place where your tears will be wiped,
A comfort touch, yet again, on your cheek,

Well, I do remember those feelings,
The only place where I know that I can lie to rest,
To hide myself from the cruel beatings from outside,
Back into your arms, back into your heart,

Even when I stand up by myself this time,
I will remember those touch as soft as yours,
That gave me the will to look up the sky,
And show to the world, that I remember who I am.

Message 1:
Hey Olga, it’s Dimitri.

Sorry I had to leave such a rushed message with you when we met the other day. I just wanted to quickly give you my phone number, and I had to get the heck out of the area. In any event, I figured I had better leave you a more detailed message and explain why I approached you. I am single. I have no trouble meeting women; I mean, women approach me six or seven times a day. But I’m very particular about what I like. You’re an extremely elegant woman. I couldn’t take my eyes off you, and your friends were very jealous — even if they say they weren’t, they were envious of the fact that I approached you, and I was very taken by you. Elegant women are very rare. I’m Greek and I’m very particular about what I like. So I’m giving you an opportunity here. I don’t know if you picked up the message on the weekend but I’m working on a movie script so I’m pretty much around all weekend doing that, I left you my number…

This looks like a land line, and if it is you may not get the message till Monday. But when you do, call me and we’ll get together for coffee and chat and let the romance begin. You looked very taken aback by my approach, and I hope that it isn’t timidness, I hope it was just a little bit of shock at being approached so directly. Because I don’t really date timid women, because I’m a very direct, very passionate, very assertive man, and I want a woman who is very independent and strong. So…anyway we’ll talk about that, but I just wanted to formally introduce myself, now I have. I believe the ball in your court. You call me as soon as you have the courage to. Okay, Olga? Talk to you soon, bye.

Message 2:

Hi there, Olga it’s Dimitri calling again, the guy from the street.
I left you a message several days ago you said you were interested. Now, here’s the way I work. I don’t like leaving second messages but I like you, you’re a very elegant woman, you’re very attractive, but, you know, I don’t play that game. I know your friends tell you not to return calls; you’re playing games like you see in stupid TV shows. So here’s how it’s gonna work. It is now 4:30 on Wednesday. Now I’ll assume, I’ll assume that you’ve already left work, because, you know, some people leave work early, and I’ll grant you that. But if I do not receive a phone call back from you by 3 o’clock Thursday afternoon I’m no longer interested and you can erase your number. I don’t play games like that. I’m completely single, I’m very intelligent, I’m great in bed, I make great money. Believe it or not, I’m a complete catch. I’ve only been single four months; I had a long distance relationship you know went a year, it’s very tough to maintain it like that and it didn’t work out; there’s nothing wrong with me. As a matter of fact I’m one of the few men in the city that has nothing wrong with him. So I’m giving you the three o’clock deadline. If I don’t hear from you, you lose my number — I’m erasing yours right now, so you won’t be hearing back from me.

So that’s it: three o’clock tomorrow, or you can just completely forget it.

Now I understand if you’ve got other issues, like maybe you’re not playing games, maybe you’ve had I don’t know… maybe you were abused in childhood?…Maybe your mother has cancer, you’re going to chemo…maybe you’re just a person who’s extremely frightened or has an anxiety disorder, maybe you’re on some medication for that…I don’t know, there could be another issue that I’m not aware of. But nobody says “Call me,” hands a person a business card and then doesn’t return calls. It’s extremely passive aggressive. You should actually look that up, passive-aggressive personality disorder. And you let me know, if you’ve got issues, psychological issues, if you’re on any sort of medication for anxiety or depression; I’m not interested, okay. But if you’re psychologically normal, and you haven’t called me because there’s been some horrible thing that’s happened in your life which prevented you, that’s fine. But otherwise? Don’t call me. Okay, bye.

If you have internet access this week, you’ve probably heard about this strange 4chan vs. AT&T situation.  And if you surf 4chan regularly, you'd probably know the real definition of an asshole, really is.  This AT&T/net neutrality/4chan/revenge story is getting far deeper reach, traffic and attention than almost any other story in 4chan history.

In brief, sometime Sunday 7/26/09 AT&T blocked access to two of 4chan’s popular imageboards – the random board /b/ and its anti-repost brother board /r9k/ (Don’t click on those, extremely NSFW and your heart will hurt).  AT&T consumers began reporting the blocked access in the early afternoon, and the imageboards weren’t accessible until midnight.  In that time, the sensational, Orwellian “AT&T Blocks 4chan” story was rapidly spreading throughout Digg, Reddit, Slashdot and Twitter.  So was “AT&T Reportedly Blocks 4chan – This Is Going To Get Ugly” by TechCrunch and “AT&T Has Managed To Piss Off The Wrong Bunch of Web-Nerds” by Gawker.  It’s good to see that the major tech blogs get the picture, as those titles portray 4chan in an appropriately dangerous manner.  The threat that Anonymous poses reminds me of Fight Club:

For about an hour, members of 4chan were disappointed and upset that their favorite site was no longer accessible via iPhone.  A few of them threw in the towel rather early.

As expected, the sobering anti-lulz quickly evolved into vengeful and malicious intent.  A thread on the /b/ imageboard gave birth to the idea that 4chan should ’strike back’ the way that they do best – introducing Operation Exhaust Port.

The object of Operation Exhaust Port:

1) Stock drops as rumour spreads
2) Anonymous buys stock when the lull hits
3) Stock bounces back when it becomes apparent rumours are false
4)

5) PROFIT!!!

The only problem. . . well, one of the problems with Operation Exhaust Port is that no one waited until Tuesday to start spreading the rumors.  By Sunday night, the faux news hit Twitter, Digg and all of the other social sharing sites just as fast as the first story did.

Twitter search results for “AT&T+CEO” – some were savvy to the troll job, others weren’t.

So this week there’s a whole mess of content and rumors being passed around and shared.  Some news sources report on the blocked content story, some are on the alleged death of the AT&T CEO, and then smart blogs tell the entire story (ie. here).  AT&T did offer a press release on the matter, which you can read in its entirety here.  To paraphrase, they say that:

Beginning Friday, an AT&T customer was impacted by a denial-of-service attack stemming from IP addresses connected to img.4chan.org. To prevent this attack from disrupting service for the impacted AT&T customer, and to prevent the attack from spreading to impact our other customers, AT&T temporarily blocked access to the IP addresses in question for our customers. This action was in no way related to the content at img.4chan.org; our focus was on protecting our customers from malicious traffic.

Now, this is the counter point to the Orwellian accusations that AT&T was filtering content.  The imageboards in question do indeed usually feature hacking tricks (hax), NSFW images (CP) and highly offensive and hateful content (lulz), so there is a cloud of thought that says the world would be a better place without access to the site.  The internet would defend even 4chan, however, if ISPs actually told us what sites we can and cannot visit.  No disrespect toward China or Tehran, of course – they have it a lot worse.

Anyway, AT&T is saying that there was a DDoS attack in progress by way of an IP address linked to 4chan, and that it had to be blocked to prevent spreading the attack.  In layman’s terms, someone faked/hacked/used the 4chan IP address to attack someone else’s page/account/profile on the AT&T network, so AT&T blocked img.4chan.org and angered the Anonymous.

On Monday, 4chan owner moot posted a response to the whole situation on the 4chan status blog.  Says moot:

In the end, this wasn’t a sinister act of censorship, but rather a bit of a mistake and a poorly executed, disproportionate response on AT&T’s part. Whoever pulled the trigger on blackholing the site probably didn’t anticipate [nor intend] the consequences of doing so.

The word of moot more or less puts the 4chan vs. AT&T war on hold.  Between his response and the AT&T press release, things are settled for now.

So What?

Yet another large company runs into 4chan and falls flat on its ass.  Some say that its “just a bunch of kids” on the internet and that such trivial things do not concern a multi million dollar company.  I’ve recently been writing about how Oprah (Harpo, whatever), Time Magazine and  AT&T were made to be epic n00bs by 4chan.  What is this trend all about?  Who’s next?  AT&T can tell the media that they weren’t affected financially by all of this, but between the coverage of AT&T/net neutrality and the reports of their CEO dying, they can’t have been pleased with what happened here.  That’s bad digital PR at its finest.

I don’t want to just sling mud and laugh at these corporate follies.  I wish I had the chance to help them make the right choices.  Ideally there would always be someone internally at every company who is truly web savvy enough to suggest a good strategy or crafty online PR move – but that’s extremely rare.  Most of the time, digital PR services are outsourced to an agency.

With that said, it genuinely disturbs me to think that there are successful social media agencies and digital marketing firms out there that choke when they deal with the fangs of the internet’s dark side – but they’re out there.  If I were on the client side of the table and an agency tried to sell me their ‘monitoring’ services or claims that they will ‘protect’ my brand’s online reputation, I’d be extremely critical of their practices.  Clients pay thousands to have a bunch of punk college interns compile Twitter and blog post mentions for their brand so they can red flag any harmful mentions (yeah, even in this economy).

Many agency digital PR ‘protection’ services are like the health insurance business model:  monthly payment, monthly payment, monthly payment, *serious incident* – oh wait . . . we don’t cover that, tab’s on you.  What happens when things get really bad?  Personally I’d administer a one-question open-answer critical thinking test to any social media agency before I hire them:

Someone in my company has upset the members of the /b/ board.  Not only is my employee targeted personally, but they are hatefully smearing my brand’s online reputation as well.  What do we do?

To be honest, sometimes you’ll need intricate innovation and stategy, other times it might just warrant one well-written press release.  If you charged $1,000 it would be one dollar for writing the press release and $999 for knowing how to deal with 4chan.

If an agency can answer that question appropriately, then they deserve to handle a major corporate account.

I'm having an epiphany. Yes, a freaking motherfucking epiphany, of her. She don't like me. And i never saw through it. FUCK, i mean.....

Life sucks, it truly does.
I need to talk to someone.

This page is a work in progress
But let's give it a chance. The author will finish it later.
Or maybe not. Should they choose the latter, by 12/12/2012, this page will not exist anymore.
Now, go away!
This page will be re-checked on The Day of Doom

“I remember reading somewhere about an organization called Procrastinators Anonymous. I think they had been in existence for some years but had never gotten around to having a meeting.” - Sage, 4Chan /b/

So I have like......3 more stuff to do on my list. But fuck, i mean, whenever I opened the webpage with a new determination to start on the job, my freaking mind wanders elsewhere.

So this is what i'm gonna do now.

What a skeletal wreck of a man this is
Translucent flesh and feeble bones
The kind of temple where the whores and villians try to tempt the holistic tones
Running rampant with free thought to free form the free and clear
And the matters at hand are shelled out like lint at a laundromat to sift and focus on the bigger, better, NOW
We all have a little sin that needs venting, virtues for the rending and laws and systems and stems ripped from the branches of office do you know what your post entails?
Do you serve a purpose or purposely serve?
Wind down inside your adivistic allure, the value of a summer spent and a winter earned
For the rest of us there is always sunday
The day of the week that reeks of rest but all we do is catch our breath so we can wade naked into the bloody pool and place our hand on the big black book
To watch the knives zigzag between our aching fingers
A vacation is a countdown
T minus your life and counting
Time to drag your tongue across the sugar cube and hope you get a taste
WHAT THE FUCK IS ALL THIS FOR?
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
SHUT UP!
I could go on and on but let's move on shall we?
Say, you're me and I'm you and they all watch the things we do and like a smack of spite they threw me down the stairs haven't felt like this in years the great magnet of malicious magnanimous refuse
Let me go and plunge me into the dead spot again
That's where you go when theres no one else around it's just you and there was never anyone to begin with now was there?
Sanctimonious pretentious dastardly bastards with their thumb on the pulse and a finger on the trigger
CLASSIFIED MY ASS THAT'S A FUCKING SECRET AND YOU KNOW IT!
Government is another way to say better, than, you!
It's like ice but no pick a murder charge that won't stick its like a whole other world where you can smell the food
But you can't touch the silverware
*laughs* What luck!
Facism you can vote for
*snorts* Isn't that sweet
And were all gonna die someday 'cause that's the american way and I've drunk too much and said too little when you're gaffer taped in the middle say a prayer save face get yourself together and ( SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING!) SHUT UP! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!
I'm sorry I could go on and on but its time to move on so
Remember, your a wreck an accident
Forget the freak your just nature
Keep the gun oiled and the temple clean
Shit, snort and blaspheme let the heads cool and the engine run because in the end everything we do, is just everything we've done.

Original Thread
/K/ Discussion Board

Originally, the thread was posted in Garage Sales. And after 2 pages of posting, @goldfries decided to kill the lulz and closed it.
Much persuasion later, he reopened it in Joke's Section.

1. “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among stars!” – Les Brown

Let’s get this popular piece of crap out of the way first, because you know what? Fuck your stars. If I wanted stars, I’d be aiming for stars. I aimed for the moon. And I’m certainly not about to let you bait and switch my life ambitions with some vague celestial analogy. How about something more realistic like “Shoot for the moon and prepare to be encompassed by crushing darkness when you miss.” or “Shoot for the treetops and while you’re up there, can you check the roof for your brother’s Frisbee?” This quote has probably been poetically scrawled in at least half of the classrooms of your childhood and does nothing but encourage acceptance of your inevitable life failures.

2. “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” – Your Parents/Guidance Counselor

Oh really? Let’s play out this recommendation in real life. Let’s say the job I want is that of an eccentric billionaire…and the job I have is lifeguarding at the local pool. Well I gotta tell you, it’s going to be increasingly difficult to tread water in this three piece suit and top hat. See, the problem with this stupid quote is that it assumes the job you have is somewhere in the realm of the job you want. But assuming your goal in life is not to become manager at whatever depressing hourly wage job you’re stuck at this summer, dressing for the job you actually want is more likely to get you fired than promoted. They’re not coming to the strip club to see you dressed as a kindergarten teacher. Wait. Nevermind, bad example…

3. “That which doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.” – Your Coach/Friedrich Nietzsche/Kanye West

False. Talk to someone who’s been hit by a car. Or had a massive stroke. Chances are that if something came close enough to killing you that people are sending you motivational greeting cards with kittens hanging from tree branches, you’re probably not coming out of this stronger. The exception, of course, is if your injury dictates the implantation of something metal in your body. Like some awesome steel rods in your back for example. But that quote should really be “that which doesn’t kill you will make getting through airport security really interesting.” Other exceptions include rapper 50 Cent, who taught us all that getting shot nine times will result in flawlessly chiseled abs.

4. “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” – proverb

Did you know that back before people could bitterly announce their deep discontent in their Live Journals and Facebook statuses, they sat around thinking up proverbs to piss of the parents that totally didn’t understand them? Okay, I just made that up. But it may as well be true because this quote is straight up emo. Most overused quotes and proverbs at least serve the purpose of being vaguely motivational, but this cliche is more of a gentle reassurance that if you think someone else’s life is better then you’re probably right. Think Brad is better at sports than you? He is. Think Stacy has a sweeter rack than yours? She totally does. If I’m complaining about my life and your only response is to assure me that I’m right, you’re a horrible friend. What you should be doing is heading to your stepdad’s garage. Because if the only thing standing between me and greener pastures is a fence than this, like most life problems, can be fixed with a chain saw.

5. “Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.” – James Dean

Right okay, but what if I’m not dead tomorrow. Now I’ve got to explain a $5,000 bar tab, the Shetland pony in my apartment, and the three male escorts in my trunk? If I’m dying today, my 21 year old bucket list is not nearly as poignant and touching as what this quote assumes it will be. I’m not gonna waste my last hours weeping with family members over what an outstanding individual I was or making some finals strides to end world hunger or sitting in a park pondering the exquisite beauty of life… I’m going to spend money I don’t have, steal things I don’t need, and–get this–change lanes without signaling. Plus I’d probably get that lower-back tattoo of a dolphin jumping over a sunset I’ve always wanted. And while all of these are perfectly acceptable behaviors for someone who is actually dying in the next 24 hours, it’ll make one hell of a court date for someone who isn’t.

The hottest issue in Malaysia today is Teo Beng Hock’s death at the MACC building. And the above, is what some Malaysian thinks happened actually in the meeting room.

The scene comes from the movie "Der Untergang" (Downfall) casting Bruno Ganz (an Austrian actor) as Adolf Hitler.

The entire history of the Internet has been building to this;

Translation:

When this dream, this dream comes true someday

You’ll be there, yes, you’ll be there

Wouldn’t it be great to softly smile together?

It’s almost as if on that day I met you the sky moved in nothing but slow motion

It’s also felt like just one thing was promised when we met in the wind

The high number of times I looked down also fell

When I was alone, I began to think that I shouldn’t search for a smile

Even if our hands were connected, even if you were at my side in this world where our hearts seperate us

You simply repainted this world where endless far-off feelings exist

When this dream, this dream comes true someday

You’ll be there, yes, you’ll be there

Wouldn’t it be great to softly smile together?

If I think about it, even that moment where your flower song dyes my life changes colour everyday

I’ve always lived my life blaming something on others

And never trying to do something for anyone else

Under the whole starry sky, I remembered how we used to talk together about how our dreams were small but still existed

Like standing up an oath to the quiet sky, you were honest to me

When that dream, that dream comes true someday

I’ll be at your side, yes, I’ll be at your side

Wouldn’t it be great to softly smile together?

While humming my favourite song

And while thinking lovingly about you as you poured water into the decorated flower vase by the window

I made a strong oath to my heart

Even when a fleeting-like future is reflected in those eyes

I’ll be at your side, forever, yes, forever

So it’s okay, and…

Even if this song gets wilted in the shadow of fads

This song will surely someday make the indifferent you who hasn’t changed listen to it, in the form of a “flower song”

And surely, you will love this song.

I created this site, mainly to share the lulz and where i can release my anger and feelings.
