Players, haters, and player haters.

“The concept of actors acting in accordance with their essential nature is not at all creative; it is banal. Players, haters, and player haters had received substantial pop culture attention prior to 2001. It is hardly surprising that plaintiffs, hoping to convey the notion that one should persist regardless of others’ thoughts or actions, focused on both players playing and haters hating when numerous recent popular songs had each addressed the subjects of players, haters, and player haters….In short, combining two truisms about playas and haters, both well-worn notions as of 2001, is simply not enough.”

U.S. District Judge Michael Fitzgerald of Los Angeles

The birth of skweeds

Imagine: It’s the year 2001, and I’m a computer nerd. I have to make a username and password for every website which sucks.

If my preferred username is taken, I could add some numbers or XoX to the end and get something available, but that looks lame.

If I want a memorable username with no numbers, maybe I should make up a fake word that won’t mean anything to anybody, and then I’ll always have that as my username on every single site.

If someone asks me if I smoke, I think they’re talking about cigarettes. As a 15 year old, I am more naive than I want to admit.

man alive!
