Nihilism, Cynicism, Sarcasm, and Orgasm

it took only two months for me to purchase a computer and then get in trouble for illegal file sharing. i received an e-mail from cal poly as well as the legal team at hbo concerning the illegal downloading of curb your enthusiasm episode 6, season 5. what this means is that until i remove the episode and the program that i used to download it, i am no longer able to use the wirless internet connection at cal poly. i understand hbo's issue, but cal poly's restriction of my wireless account because i used it to illegally download something is absurd to me. i don't see how the university could be held liable. that would be analagous to ford motor co. being liable for damages because i used a ford as a get away car to rob a bank. it makes no sense. is the university assuming a moral stance that is opposed to file sharing? i do not understand.

i recently found myself driving around listening to music on a lovely sunday afternoon. i was listening to sufjan stevens for a little while and then i took out sufjan, in favor of a little john davis (formerly of superdrag). it then occured to me that both of those artists are christian musicians. john davis especially so. as a matter of fact, jody and i recently discovered that john davis is available at the parable. sufjan stevens however, is not. i never would have thought that i would be listening to music about the saving grace of christ, but there i was, back to back christian rockers. what does this mean? apparently it means that lyrics are either occasionally of secondary importance to the music, or that the listener needs not to relate to the songwriter very much at all to enjoy their songs. what do you think?
