20 years ago...1984....well, I was 15. And although some of you may find this hard to believe, I was pretty shy until August 1984. I was a freshman, I was dating a senior but she taught Northcat many things that I still employ today....actually so did her older sister...which incidently is why we broke up
could never get the 3 way in order though
I spent most of my time hunting and fishing. I was no where near the computer world...actually a single shot 16 gauge is about as far from technology as you can get.
Then in August 1984...Northcat's personality and attitude changed. -
In 20 years computers as we know them today will be obsolete. Desktops are getting smaller while laptops are getting larger. The idea of a dedicated piece of hardware that only does what we can do today will be outdated.
There will only be 'The Device' and it will do virtually everything that we don't want to do for ourselves, short of killing people (which it still may from time to time totally by accident).
Nanotechnology will make it possible (optional is another story altogether) to have it all embedded inside us. Just wait until TFT and 'flexible displays' are minituarized to the point of 'no-radiation contact lens / personal displays.'
I'm getting weepy just thinking about it, how it was before I left.Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore. -

No in August of 84', I ran into a problem with some kid at the skating rink I use to go to. I tried and tried to walk away from him but he was just picking on me because I wouldn't fight back. One night my dad picked us up from the skating rink and this kid had pushed me down between 2 cars as I was trying leave. I got in the car and my Dad asked "what's that all about?" so I told him that kid just always picks on me and just wouldn't leave me alone. The following were words that changed my life...."Well now look, I don't want you fighting, but you can stand up for yourself, you don't have to take that from anyone." .......and with those words, Northcat's attitude went from passive to overly aggressive. The next saturday we went to the skating rink and before I could even get my skates on this kid was picking on me trying to get me to buy him something to eat. I said "no" he got in my face and I beat him to a bloody mess with one of my skates. I kept beating him until they pulled me off of him, there was blood everywhere, a few teeth were around, I had one lodged in my knuckle. Looking back I guess I kind of went psycho on him but my point was made.
That was the summer before my sophomore year in HS. That year, I got kicked out of 2 different fair grounds - charged once for assault because I was going to throw this kid over the back of the Grand Stands******, he's lucky the Sheriff grabbed me, I had him up and on the ledge. I got kicked out of the mall, the local pool hall, detained by the police several times. Got in a fight a speedway (it wasn't speedway then, but is now). I got suspended from school 3 times that year...kind of odd since my dad was a teacher where I went to HS. There were several other instances where I "wasn't putting up with that shit". Anyway, long story short....by the next summer I found my self attending court ordered anger management counseling.
So the summer of 84' is when Northcat's attitude and mentality really took form and I grew in the warm caring loving soul that you fuckers know today. -
Touching, northcat. I still have tears in my eyes
Sounds alot like my experience, only in the sixth grade when I discovered that if you get in a good lick, the bullies will pass you by the next time in favor of kids who never fight back. Knocked out a few teeth and bloodied a few noses, all in all.
My dad was a strict "don't ever fight ...it never solves anything" parent. But I had my secret successes to give me a smile during those speeches -
My parents were the same way. I got into a minor scuffle in 4th grade and I got a beating of a life time when I got home. So "No fighting" was always the rule.
