I am Phil.

Here’s a poem:

“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

Nope. No AI here. I am commited to NOT useing any AI to write, edit, inspire, or otherwise influence anything on this site.

There is too much slop out there. I will do my small bit to be a part of the solution.

Don’t get me wrong. I do think that AI has legitimate use as a tool, and I do use it for some tasks, particularly technical ones. But not here.

LOL! Do you really think you can have any privacy in 2026?

If you do: good.

You can reclaim some amount of privacy for yourself if you care enough to put in a bit of work. Start here or here.

As for this blog?

I ain’t collecting nothing. I ain’t storing nothing. I ain’t selling nothing.

I’m sure there is some random log somewhere that sees your IP address, so if you care about that, you may leave. Or use a VPN. Do what you want.

Addictive Chemicals

A little something I wrote a long time ago and just dug up:

Addictive Chemicals
Of these I dream
Addictive chemicals
My dear caffeine!
Addictive chemicals
But not cocaine
Addictive Chemicals
Straight to my brain!

Amos Moses was a cajun'

Lived by his’self in the swamp

No. Not that Amos. The prophet Amos.

When was the last time you thought about Amos? Read from Amos? Went to the book of Amos on pupose? Yeah, me neither.

The Importance Of A Good Password

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Ruh-Roh!

I’ve just logged in to my email and noticed a message from dominoes informing me that they have been hacked and user data has been leaked including passswords. I must immediately go change that password now before the russians access my account and see how many large MeatZZas I have consumed at 2am over the last 30 days! I franticly log in and change my password. Let’s see, my password was “Il0v3meSOMEpizzaP!E”, let me just change that to “1L6vePI22@!!!”.

An Uninvited House Guest

There is a bigfoot living in my crawlspace.

You think I am crazy. Let us entertain for just a moment that you are correct. That does not change the fact that I believe that sasquatch lives under my house.

I am, however, not crazy. He exists. He is down there. I hear him breathing and shuffling under the floor. When I move from the hallway to the living room; from the living room to the kitchen, he is down there shadowing my movements. I went outside last night to take out the trash, when I turned around to head back to the house, I could see his glowing, red eyes staring at me through the ventilation holes in the base blocks. He was watching me. I am sure that he is waiting for the perfect opportunity to eat me. I will be ready. In the meantime, I have left another offering of baked beans at the entrance to the crawlspace in hope that he delays the inevitable for a while longer. I hope he returns the tupperware this time, I don’t have many left.

I desire to eat human food now.

That is all. Thank you for understanding.
