squamousHm OK I know I need to stop being such a sad sack. It's adolescent and unflattering. Still, I like being honest. Honest if weird I suppose. But from now on I need to be a real hard-charger right! Yes!
I will say that I sometimes think I am too much the disciple of the path of least resistance. And I think sometimes the route that appears easiest has some unforseen costs in the long run. Ah I dunno, let me just say if everyone was like me, we would all still be laying around in caves making vague plans to someday look into discovering fire. Also I tend not to fight for the cause of myself, or pursue people, or ever be assertive about anything in romance... it's just distasteful to me somehow. I guess I am quick to embrace negative concepts of myself or something. But no more right? Or at least I'll shut up about it now.
This morning I ate some yogurt, since I wanted to get some of that acidopholus in me, and had not eaten yogurt in awhile, and won't (so far as I know) be partaking of it while in THE ZONE. Geez that starts tomorrow. I also rode chopper for awhile, which was good. I used to do 10 miles a day on that thing, now I am doing a half-hour a day and only going like seven miles. It is doing something for me though I think, and it's a start.
Watched "This Week" this morning again, which I really really need to stop doing. All the politicians talking out of the side of their mouths just get me all riled. It reminds me of how I felt during the Bill Clinton blow job circus, where I couldn't understand how magically every pundit's opinion fell down straight along party lines. People who were raising hell back during the Clarence Thomas hearings were excusing Clinton the cad. Why would Republicans inherently be upset that Clinton took advantage of some young woman, then cavalierly and arrogantly lied about it? Why would Democrats defend this? It was all just partisanship, and it bugged the hell right out of me. I need to just live and vote like a free, responsible person and ignore all this shit.
Supposed to go to Mike's for dinner today. Jim and Jes will be there too, so that will be fun. I am sure I will be enlisted for storytime too. Hrmmm. That is always flattering and can be fun but hopefully there will be some balance today, too. I mean I like talking to adults too. But the kids are fun in the right amount and I am lucky to have friends who kinda share their kids with me.
Not sure if we are gonna go out to watch the Perseids tonight or not. I hope so, sorta, even if I am a little wary of the resulting wanged sleep cycle. Falling stars are cool, getting out away from city lights is cool... could definitely be a lot of fun. Mike was saying we should get up at like 3 a.m. and head out to someplace dark.... We'll see. Not sure where we should go around here and the "dark sky finder" online is not working right now.
Sounds like Sanjiv is not hired just yet, but it is looking promising. So, that is cool.
Oh also saw a couple episodes of Invader Zim this morning. Didn't like it when I first saw it - not a Jhonen Vasquez fan - but my friend Ryan's enthusiasm for it got me looking at it again, and ultimately it won me over. Pretty funny stuff... so cheerfully grotesque.
Thought for the day. Who and what would I be now if there was no Internet? And what of yourself, in such a context? In high school I dug BBS' and was a phreaker and warez trader... this was in the early to mid 80s no less... dumpster diving and stuff... in college I worked on a VAX and read Usenet groups, and did some email... at EnterAct we explored various online services (Applelink, Compuserve, AOL - AOL was at the time not expected to make it!)... when I lived in Dallas I got heavily into the BBS around there... then at Apple I got ahold of Nuntius and Mosaic and there I went, online for good. I wonder what I am unbalancing in life, that I lavish such time and attention on one or another computer screen? Who knows maybe bereft of this diversion I would've buckled down long ago and would be some badass by now. Yeah. Or probably I'd own a game console of some sort, or watch more TV.
