Geocities, an E-ulogy

RIP Geocities

One thing I will faithfully admit is that Angelfire took my personal home page virginity. And guess what, everyone? Angelfire is still up, bitches.

However, in spite of this blatant superiority, it cannot be denied that Geocities was a pioneer of home pages; it was truly the representation of our personalities of our time. And this was all before the incompetence of Twitter, the puckered lips of Facebook, and the… wait, who even uses MySpace these days? It comes to show that not everything you post on the Internet – indeed folks, not even animated GIF backgrounds and text marquees can last forever.

In optimism, thank god nobody will ever find those nudes of me.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of California, Berkeley upon completing irrationally rigorous levels of Sudoku. In pen. I pride myself in a variety of minor, personal nuances, including my animosity towards wearing pants and my adamant refusal to comb my hair. I have a steady level of accomplishments that strengthen my metaphorical "manhood": (1) I’ve completed Super Mario World in 13 minutes and 26 seconds, (2) I’ve squatted 135 pounds, and (3) I have to omit this pornographic tidbit for "professional" reasons, but you guys know the deal. I also like to cook and clean and my Internet only works in the kitchen.
