Why Do I Taunt the Powers That Be?


I was just trying to get an Optical Character Reader program to work, so I could bulk upload my scanned crap writing to an editable format, like Word. I may have downloaded a virus with some unlicensed software, possibly. I didn't notice anything was amiss with my computer until later in the day, after a FB messenger chat with a friend, in which I made some intentionally obtuse comments about the surveillance state.



Houa:   I'll tell u irl

Me:       If I ever see you, sure. Why, is it top secret squirrel stuff?

Houa:   Sort of

Me:      Right...I'm not gonna play 20 questions. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Or I won't. But don't think about it too much.

Houa:   I said Irl. I'm not playing 20 questions either

Me:      Well, I don't plan on jumping in my car just so you can whisper in my ear.  Just say it. Or don't. You think we're being monitored? This is my real life.

Houa:   yep, all saved and archived at fb hq

Me:      Whatever. We're not that important. Get over yourself. I have. Look. I'll say it – Terrorist. Bomb. Drugs. Illegal. Kill. President. There. Are you scared yet?



Ok, so that was my 2 second rant that earned me a nice probin’ by the Powers that Be. Now my hard drive is pulsing like a heart monitor. Blip blip, blip blip – Fan -- Blip, blip, blip, blip – Fan -- Been that way since last night. I got tired of hearing it and ran some virus scans and even did a System Restore. No avail. Now, I’m just going to have to ride it out, until they are done mining my entire hard drive for the evidence of terrorism they seek.

I can only hope that when they are done and have discovered that I’m just a loser slob, with zero motivation to terrorize anything, that they will leave my poor hard drive alone. It’s gonna take them forever to go through each and every one of my documents looking for some secret overthrow-the-government shit that’s not even there. Hey, maybe they’ll find evidence proving my mental illness, which I can’t seem to convince them is a disability.

Oh, oh. I hear sirens in the distance. I’d better go hide in the crawlspace. With my stash of AK-47s and pipe bombs. Fuckin’ A.
