Open Letter To The Internet Hackers

RAPSCALLIONS.

In case you hadn’t noticed, earlier this morning (Friday, October 21) Internet all up and down the East Coast crapped out.

Despite my prayers that the major nuisance would annihilate Muse* (so we could replace it with something that actually works) I was pretty aggravated. So I’ve decided to write an open letter to the ass hats that did this.

Ahem.

Dear Ass Hats,

Who do you think you are?

What gives you the right?

It is Friday. It is my one day off. This day is a sacred day reserved for Netflix and napping and LO AND BEHOLD YOU HAVE RUINED IT! What do you have to say for yourselves? Let me paint you a little picture.

Me. Awake. It is six in the morning. I am angry. I am tired. I slave (not really though, because I’m a lifeguard) through my early morning shift with the promise of a nice, long day of doing nothing ahead of me. I go home, put on a little iZombie (I’m a fan of campy) and am determined to just chillax.

This is all going swimmingly until your little stunt. Yes, my Netflix decides to kill itself off. Now, being that I am no stranger to technical difficulties when it comes to my router (big shout out to the crappiest provider ever, Wow! Cable) I figure it’s a glitch. It’ll fix itself. I scoot on down to my favorite coffee shop, order my favorite sandwich and chips, and bring it back home so I can watch iZombie the right way. Then you rapscallions come along and crush my dreams. I am forced to eat my sandwich while scrolling through (shudders)Facebook.

This is a damper on my day.

It is then that I find out about your stupid little games with DDoS (denial-of-service) and Dyn. Boy, I have a word in mind for you and it rhymes with “truckers.”

I’m not sure what your goals were today. During my long nap (the one thing you couldn’t take away from my day of rest) I had many hypotheses as to what you could possibly have done this for.

Maybe you did it for “world domination.” Maybe today was my last day of my regular life before you bring about the end of the world, as we know it. Maybe you had to crush the Internet to carry out some secret plan to ruin the Trump campaign (if so, mazel tov). Maybe this is all some big Illuminati conspiracy distraction while the military derailed a potential nuclear attack. And, for posterity, maybe it was

I’m honestly okay with any of the above listed reasons, and I’m sure I could come up with a hundred more entertaining theories for why you literally “broke the Internet.” Oh, by the way, I hate you for making me use that term. That term that defines a group of people who clearly don’t understand that “going viral” does not equal “breaking” something.

Just please, the next time you set out for world domination or political sabotage or otherworldly experiments…

Leave my Netflix out of it.

Good day.

P.S.

*New York Odyssey people, as I write this Muse is giving me hell. Please. Please don’t make us poor, unfortunate content creators live like this anymore.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
