MySpacea place for friends

Brief intro:

I'm Micah Harwell and this is my place to be goofy. I am a self-described geek. I like nicknames like Micah-wave, Micah-scope, or Micah-processor.

I'm in love with my wife Carrey. We have two cats, Kat and Elvis.

Work is a big part of my life too, my company Masterpiece Waterfalls is where I spend most of my time - either designing projects in AutoCAD or actually building waterfalls and rock features.

Technology

I love technology. It infuses every aspect of my life with it's warm glow that comforts my being. My soul feels like it vibrates at 60Hz thanks to the training it's received from the power grid.

Patterns

I see patterns in life that most people would pass over without thinking twice. Fads, I can see these things as they really are - as an outsider looking in. I see trends rise and fall in advertising and stop to wonder where the innovation is. I've come to the conclusion that there are very few truly creative people left in our modern world.

Everyone I see seems to be cought in the routine; not even realizing there is an entire world outside of their viewpoint. It's mass tunnel vision - and it scares me to think so many have closed their minds to a point where they don't even know it's closed.

The Internet

Most of us are (or were) cought up in the Internet craze. You can find anything you are looking for. Anything. The sheer volume of cyberspace is astounding. It's quite empowering at first, but becomes quite a burden - mostly because it's full of junk.

Internet Explorer

It serves only one purpose - to destroy web standards. Because of it's lack of standards compliance, it has allowed web authors to write invalid HTML and CSS. When authors want to write webpages correctly - according to standards, Internet Explorer displays them incorrectly.

I recently redesigned my waterfall company's website from the ground up. Things were so smooth, so clean. And then I loaded it in IE. I wanted to yank the Microsoft engineers' hands of their wimpy mush keyboards and slap them with a ruler!

Hollywood

This place is a joke. It's difficult to believe that ordinary people have been built up to a point that they think they know everything. Some of the most ridiculous political stances and religious practices are considered brilliant - in Hollywood. Wake up guys. Nobody with half a brain would buy into Scientology, Communism, or Hollywood-style racial "equality".

MTV

There are so many things I could list here...

MTV - Music TeleVision. Get it through your skulls! Where's the music?

Rock the Vote. Who thought of this? Voting supposed to be something a person does by their own free will alone - not because it's trendy.

Reality shows. Where is the reality? There is nothing real about a group of twentysomething drama queens constantly bickering about the most asinine of topics.

Pothead mentality. There are no "movers and shakers" on MTV. Everyone has a pothead mentality - complete and utter laziness. It just makes me sick to think that people watch this stuff and think it's okay. Don't even get me started on all the spoiled rich girls...

Huge sunglasses

How did this get started? Was it the Olsen twins or something? Holy cow! These things take ordinary girls and turn them into ALIENS! Does anyone really find this attractive? It seems to be a popular fad, but I just don't understand it.

The weight craze

I'm not alone when I say "Gain some weight." Listen up girls, Hollywood has set very unrealistic and unattractive standards. Don't believe the hype. God made women to be curvy and voluptuous for a reason. If a weight loss or gain of 5 pounds is noticable, you are too skinny.

I see women on TV that are disgustingly thin. They look like they've had their organs sucked out by a powerful vacuum, leaving behind just the skin wrapped around their frail bones. They are like zombies trying to be passed off as supermodels.

So go eat some pie. Get an extra helping of mashed potatos. Gain some freakin' weight!
