Disclaimer on my constant plagiarism
I am the one who leeches off others. Others who spend hours upon hours working on their website, perfecting their craft, conjuring up new ideas to stay fresh in this internet world we live in. They spend hours scanning photographs, uploading sounds wavs from vcrs in their own home, typing endless amounts of html to please viewers of their site and hope they will return.
It has been said that immitation is the highest form of flattery (or something to that effect). I have always believed that is a load of bullshit. Immitation is creation by people with no skill or imagination. Immitation is stealing, it is forgery, it is plagiarism.
That said, I must admit that hypocricy runs through my veins. Any and all pictures used on any of my websites have been stolen from other web sites. Any and all sound wavs I put up are samples from other sites, again stolen. Of course, since they are on the internet, they are up for grabs. That is not the point. My point is that I steal pictures, not ideas. I steal sounds, not words. I do not steal all sounds or pictures, only the best (or those I feel are the best). I do not copy websites, my formats are my own design (at least, they were thought up in my my own head).
Everything in entertainment, including the internet, has been stolen or copied from everything else in the past. Fresh ideas are difficult to come by. Knowledge of html, javascript, programming, etc are difficult to come by as well. But, I try to be fresh and different and enlightening, that is all that really matters. My words are my own, that cannot be taken away from me.
So, If you see something that is yours on my website, which is unlikely since no one goes to my web pages, I apologize. I haven't access to sophisticated machinery. To any casual observer who has too much time on their hands to be looking at my website, keep in mind that nothing on my site is mine except for the noted essays and other noted personal ideas. Everything else has been lifted from a website found on Yahoo!, since that is the only search engine that I use.
Thank you for your time, Godspeed.
Back, back I say
