iamcal.com Since May 2000

The iamcal.com site is undergoing some structural changes. If things don't seem to work, then be patient :)

I love this quote:

"Some people make me sad, see? Not you, or anything in particular just the human race in general and our delusions, what we think, what we try and understand, what we'll never know. But people together make me happy because they are happy, and they smile, and everything is so much more complete. Alone, we don't mean as much as we'd like to think." Eleanor Collins, February 1997

There are more on my quotes page (which was originally the front page of iamcal.com).

Cal, your theme song is My Way! You're a straight-shooter with strong-willed resolve. That's why Limp Bizkit's "My Way" is your theme song. When you're at your best, you're holding court at the local restaurant, or hitting the highway with friends for a road trip [Go find out your theme song](http://www.emode.com/tests/song/authorize/signin.jsp?url=/tests/song/index.jsp). Or don't. I'm getting quite sick of all this "what robot are you" "what flower best describes you" "what species of walnut are you most like" crap. urgh.

Threw my bad fortune off the top of a tall building. I'd rather done it with you.

Pink Waffers - Not good, biscuit crime. I saw some the other day in a clearence shop, they were probably left over from some cold war biscuit stock pile. Just because pink waffers are technically possible doesn't make them ethical. Waffers must be covered in chocolate to be palatable, as in KitKat or Tunnocks. You may still find some in a variety pack, if so report them to the correct authorities who will dispose them safely. Why aren't you joining in at [b3ta](http://www.b3ta.com/board/)?

lorum ipsum translated [via jay]

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business is will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.
