The Extinct Journal -- Lee's Rants -- 12/15/97

Netscape 4.0, or 4.1, or whatever version it is, is so horrible that I actually had to DOWNGRADE to 3.1. That's sad. Don't get Netscape 4.x.

I was lying awake last night thinking of all the different possible journal entries I could write. So many topics. And I can't remember any of them. That always happens. I think of lots of topics, but I can never remember any. Grr.

Yesterday, I decided to take a walk down memory lane and check out the remnants of Knoler's journal. Of course, I had to end this journey by checking out the final entry, which is basically a discourse on what a schmuck I am. Granted, it's 9 months old, but I decided to read it anyway. In retrospect, it doesn't bite that much. I mean, in it, he doesn't attack me personally at all. And given that I haven't seen or heard word from him in several months, coupled with the fact that he's managed to totally alienate all his friends anyway, I just don't see why I should be insulted anymore. He said in that journal entry that in retrospect, he wouldn't have traded his non-Kathy relationship to get back his friendship with me. His recent performance holds true to this philosophy, seeing as how he has dumped on his closest friends in exchange for his relationship with Kathy. I hope for his sake that they end up getting married, because if they ever break up he'll have absolutely nobody to talk to.

This alienation is another reason that the journal entry doesn't bother me much anymore; he always went on about how friendships are so much more important than sexual relationships. Yet in practice, even forgetting about my history with him, I have never ever seen him choose a friendship over an iota of a moment in time in a sexual relationship. So why believe that he actually supports that rainbow poetry crap that he spews out at the end of the journal entry?

Makes me wish that Ray would just take his girlfriend already....
