A Long Time Coming

It's what got most of you people looking at my page, and probably what keeps some of you coming back, but, well, it's a major reason it's not getting updated. So...

Now then. Today's rant is really just an excuse to post a link, but it's a link to something way too many people want to see, on a low bandwidth server, so I'll have to drive people off first... or at least scatter them. Off I go!

Now then. People don't have bad things to say about me for the most part. I suppose that's something to be proud of, but it isn't my point. On occassion, people do have nasty things to me, and while they generally make fools of themselves, and never say it to my face, there are two things I always seem to be accused of the same two things:

Being arrogant.

Having a huge ego.

Now, I never used to understand how people could get that impression. Believe it or not, I've always been a very quiet person who let's everyone have their own way and has cripplingly low self-esteem. So, how could people get this sort of impression? Oh, right. These people only know of me from reading my web pages.

Arrogance- Feeling that your opinions are superior to all others: I run a daily Q&A column where a good portion of the questions are along the lines of "Should I get game X?" If I wasn't stating opinions, I wouldn't be doing a particularly good job.

Egotism- Being obsessed with, and constantly talking about oneself: See the name of this page here? Googleshng's Page of Rantings. Otherwise known as my personal home page. You reading this right now can be equated to breaking into a little girl's room and reading her diary. There is some degree of difference in that I'm aware that people read it, and try to leave some stuff in here to amuse you. Primarily though, this page exists just so that when someone asks me what I think about a given topic, I can point them at the appropriate rant and get back to work.

So, if anyone who says such things is reading this here, A- Keep in mind that you aren't exactly getting the best impression of my personality, and B- If you don't like me, why the deuce are you reading every single word I type? I mean, get a freaking life!

OK. That should have everyone chased away or around, so I can get down to business. Something like a month ago (lo, the title becomes clear), someone actually offered to host my bandwidth sucking anime music video. This is a particularly nice gesture, as the hosting server has less bandwidth than this one, and if I hosted this video locally, the drain would cause my host to kill me. Possibly literally. I mean, she does know where I live, and I'm pretty sure she has access to mafia hits and/or crazy sword-wielding anachronists. Anyway, the point is, I don't want the 500 or so people who read the average rant to all hit the thing at once, and I particularly don't want them each telling the 10 people they know who don't about it. So, if you've managed to notice this update going up, read through all this boring dren, and didn't notice it already, one of the periods in the above rant is a link to the video as it sits on a web page called takohouse. I'd suggest you just download it directly, and then if you want to show it to anyone else, send it to'em directly.

Oh, and I KNOW there's a second or two towards the end of the musical interlude with mouth movements, but it was unavoidable, so deal.

One last thing. This is the last rant I'm posting before I revamp stuff. Need a new look for this page, and a new way of dealing with the archives, and I will take suggestions on'em.

While I retool things here, I will probably be distracted with other stuff, so like I said last rant, just bookmark my cheesy index for now.
