Silly Poem Day:
Death and Damnation
come out of my ears.
I wonder where it came from?
Probably that damn heavy metal music.
Torment and Anger
Burst from my mouth
When I’m waiting in line
at the car wash and somebody cuts in front of me.

Hmmm. Did anything bad happen today? I didn’t find as many records
as I wanted to. That’s a little sucky, but nothing to complain about.
I didn’t find true love today. That’s sorta sucky, too. I can deal,
though.
Good Slogan Day: When the fun becomes easy, the learning begins.
I think I came up with that. Have you ever heard it anywhere else?
Let me know if you have.

Friday:
My heart kept beating for another day…
just kidding…
No. It really did keep beating, but that’s a lame thing for a blessing. That’s
more like the absence of a beating. Well, I guess that’s a blessing in itself.
I watched some Anime tonight. It was crazy. I got to witness the power of love.
The world economy is going to shit and I have all my money tied up in foreign banks.
What was I thinking?

Thursday:
Some of us New Dream Network members had
an IRC discussion today. We were going to try to figure out how to encourage
cooperation and interaction between our own group, which is sort of an ironic situation, I
suppose. We talked about that some, and we talked about all kinds of other things, too.
We got into the straight-edge issue (Annie is
straight-edge.), and we talked some basic religion, and we had some laughs and we
probably bored a couple of people to tears.
I guess that worked out ok. I wish it was more of us, though.
The limping house dog hangs out at our house every evening and night now. He
sleeps on our porch, and tonight he’s been barking at other dogs. He greets us when
we get home from work. He hangs out with us on the front porch. He seems to like us
quite a lot. He comes back every day. Sorta strange if you ask me.
Hey, I also cleaned up the archive section a bit.
I moved July onto it’s own page. It’ll get too long, otherwise.
This month I got overbilled by my stupid phone company. They normally give me evening
and weekend hours free, which normally ends up saving me like $50 or so. That’s always
cool. But then, this month, the savings were only like $1.18. I figured something
was wrong and I could just call and they’d fix it. I tried calling the number on
my phone bill (you know, the one right beside a little thing saying “Problem with
your bill? Call…”), but that didn’t work at all. Since I have ISDN, the normal
tech support part of the phone company can’t help me at all. They’re completely
stupid when it comes to my problems. “But my problem is with my bill! It has nothing
to do with my ISDN specifically,” I plead, but they don’t listen. And so I get tossed
around from person to clueless person. I finally called them for the 4th time today, and
I had to redial them something like 6 times before I got a person instead of a busy
signal. I eventually went through the main support number, and the woman promptly
forwarded me to the ISDN help desk (which is where I had been trying to call without
success for 30 minutes before that), but it worked that time. The person I talked to
said she would have a billing representative call me. Yeah, whatever.
Fuck them.

Wednesday:
I’ve been trying to figure out how to make a largeish group of people who don’t know
one another except for a semi-busy email list and some shared interests work together
to create something unique and interesting. I don’t know how to do that. And it’s
not happening. I talked with some other people about it today, and they see that it’s
not really happening. One of the two seems a little discouraged by that fact, but the
other seems almost motivated by it…
I’m not that easilly discouraged, but I do get frustrated. One thing I can say, though,
is no matter what else happens, I have met some interesting people, and that’s
all you can really hope for, I suppose. It’s more than some people can say.
Ok. This is dorky. I started looking for a new ISDN provider tonight because mine
is sort of being sucky, and they’re tech support is really sucky, and I’m sort
of being ripped by them, but anyway… I stumbled across something called DSL.
I had heard of it but didn’t really realize that it was being offered so soon…
It’s high speed internet connectivity over ordinary copper phone lines. One web
page I saw put it at 8Mb/sec! That’s more than 5 T1’s! Also, it’s really cheap, and
it’s dedicated (no dialup!). It looks like I can get a dedicated 160k connection
for about $150/mnth. That’s pretty close to what I’m paying for ISDN, anyway…
How exciting. High speed internet access for home users is very quickly becoming
a reality. That certainly will change the world.

Tuesday:
That dog from yesterday was gone in the morning, but he was back again tonight.
He had a collar on, too. He does seem to belong to somebody. I wonder who.
I wish his leg didn’t hang on his body like that. It’s a bit disturbing.
He’s so jovial (as dogs often are) for not really having use of one of his limbs.
It’s weird. I think he might be some sort of sign from somewhere. I always have
to remind myself of the fact that nothing really matters if you’re not basically
happy overall. I don’t mean super-smiley, showing teeth all the time kind of happy…
just sort of an overall positive view on things. If the going isn’t getting better
and doesn’t seem like it’s going to anytime soon… then change direction.
You have that choice. That’s why we have brains.
