Toxi

A guy I know from usenet, lasty aka lastfuture, comments on this blog sometimes, and today he gave me the URL to the blog of a friend of his, Toxi. I read it earlier today, and then I flipped! Really, I just walked away from the computer and started doing anything, making the bed, tidying up, called tech support again and bitched (apparently they're finally sending a technician, on May 10, wtf!!). I finally calmed down and I guess I was in denial or some kind of shock, because I just avoided my computer all day. I'm still a bit freaked, but now I feel silly for acting like that.

Well, the thing is that Toxi's blog kind of scared me. Take a look, he (I think lasty said "he") calls it The ToxiBox. I started reading it from the beginning, or I kind of skip to where I see that his phone starts acting weird. That's why lasty gave me the link. So I read on, and eventually it looks like his problems stop. Kind of a let-down, but I keep reading anyway and see that video he recorded when his TV channels got... weird. I don't know what to call it. Just watch it. Compare it with my SMS. It's the same day, and the same time. Now compare with my phone noise. I don't know if you can tell, like I said before, the phone noise sounded different to me when I heard it compared to the recording, but it sounds really similar. It's the same tone. So maybe you understand why it creeped me out.

I don't know, maybe the time thing is a coincidence, and maybe the noises aren't that alike, but it's just too close. It feels exactly like I'm back in those woods again when I was a kid, with the walkie-talkie that was picking up someone's transmission. Like "Oh fuck, I'm hearing something I shouldn't be hearing, this could be something serious, something secret." Do these things even mean something? Is the binary code in the SMS some kind of message? I feel like maybe I'm going crazy. This feels very unreal.

I think it's kinda slow and cumbersome talking via blog comments... if you have msn, my account is toxibox@gmail.com ...otherwise just email me

Someone should get the x-files involved... "kinda slow and cumbersome talking via blog comments" -> what about the poor saps back in the days of letters and a pony? Or was that better really?
