Have you ever found the courage to just sit down with Society and decide
that you two aren't right for each other, that perhaps Society should
move out? Did you ever wonder why you loved Society so much in the
first place? Did you have doubts about kicking Society out of your
house?
Someone has backed your decision to rid it from your life.

I haven't written anything more gory and furious as this (yet), but I
must admit it felt good to purge myself of these feelings as I wrote
angrily. "I'd hate to get on your bad side!" one person wrote me. I
couldn't agree more.
Listen up, folks. Seems some people have taken this essay too seriously.
It's a metaphor, that's it! It's testing my limits. It's
not illustrating my true feelings. In other words, it's
fiction.

What will a Latin student do for a good grade on his project? What
lengths will he go to? Me? I wrote a poem, another one which fits
perfectly into the more embittered stages of my life (are there any
other stages?).

Sometimes things hit you so hard that you can't help but feel as if the
gods above have struck you down with all their force. And when such
divine intervention has taken place, you understand that you need to
stop what you're doing and just listen -- you have no chance to explain
yourself. Or to do just about anything.

Particular ex-friends really pissed me off. I can't help but feel
ambivalent about friends. It's people like these who really ruin any
sort of emotional attachment I may have with another person. Enjoy this
little personal letter and soak in its anger. It turned out to be a
rather cathartic experience for a person I really don't hate as much as
I indicated.

I figured I'd throw in the Soapbox since that's what I spend most of
my time writing for these days. It isn't part of this section, but it
has over fifty essays to read.
I've been working on the Soapbox as it's mutated from one form to another
over the year or so it's been online. I add a new article each week,
and I never announce the topic beforehand. You'll just have to come
back and read it periodically.

The themes which come with Microsoft Plus! are pretty pathetic. There
aren't many interesting backgrounds to choose from. So I designed one,
and I've been using it for quite awhile now. The desktop icons were
placed along the vertical and horizontal strips.
What I don't like about it is the "Ben's Realm". It's a bit
self-indulgent.

I didn't like the old wallpaper because of the big, gaudy "Ben's Realm"
on the bottom. It just stuck out. However, I created this one with
Photoshop 4.0, getting used to its handling of layers, and I think it
turned out well. I'm no graphic designer, and I don't have an eye for
creating truly amazing work, but I like what I did this time.

I don't know what I was thinking when I made this. I guess I was just
doodling around with Photoshop or something. Notice some of the
graphics? Those were from past page designs.
