I Burn...
Sometimes, I wonder if I’m dead inside. Far too frequently, I just don’t seem to feel the same emotions about things that I see others displaying. Things that should make me happy usually don’t. Things that should make me sad almost never do. I know the answer to the “am I dead inside” question is “no”. After all, the rage is always there. I always have...

Daunting...
Ok. So, I’ve had a LiveJournal account for years, now. At intervals, I’ve also run my own blogging software. Even before LiveJournal and software to make blogging easy, I was hand-cranking HTML to get my (worthless, trivial, etc.) ideas and ramblings out there. Unfortunately, having someplace to put well thought out - or at least not “blurby” - posts is somewhat daunting. ...

Why I Hate You
This article is going to be part of a continuing series. I’ve made similar posts elsewhere - specifically FaceBook and Craigslist’s “Rants” section - and will likely continue to make more such posts. The day to day world is simply too maddening to not make such posts. Without the relief of these posts, there’s a strong possibility that you’ll see me as the...

Less than a week
So, it’s Tuesday, January 19th, 2010. In just five more days, I officially hit the big 4-0. Actuarially speaking, I’m well into my middle age. Given family history, I actually may not yet be into middle age. Toss in the variable of the epilepsy medications that are trying to eat my liver, and it’s hard to tell where I am on the actuarial curve. On the plus side of the ledger...

Received in Email
So, I received the following in email. All I gotta ask is, how heavy is this damned ATM card that FedEx would charge $200 to ship it. And, shouldn’t they really say they’re someplace other than Nigeria? I mean, by now, even my grandmother won’t trust things that mention Nigeria and come in email. SPRING INTERNATIONAL BANK Attention: This is a personal email directed to you and...

Euw
Got up this morning around 09:00. It was a lovely, grey, rainy day outside, but couldn’t get back to sleep. So, decided to roll downstairs to do a bit of a workout - forty-five minutes with the Wii Fit (I know: not “real” exercise, but it’s better than nothing) and a number of reps with the dumbbells. I tend to like to work out in bare feet. The living room floor is...

A start...
Ok, so figured an actual blog would be better for my long-form posts than FaceBook would be. I’d even figured, I can post more frequently, here, without spamming my friends’ news feeds. Then, I done went and linked the thing to my FB account. So, still going to end up spamming (sorry about that). Dunno, I just feel compelled to write. I used to have http://wis.dm to spam all my random...
