iDallas!Why don’t people pay more attention to each other? You can learn a lot from other people. I’ve pretty much learned everything I know from paying careful attention to the problems of other people and the solutions they came up with.
Wisdom is not magic. Wisdom is all around you, happening all the time.
All you have to do is pay attention and take note.
People are so dumb.
They can’t seem to pay attention to the world around them and actually make sense of anything at the same time. If someone is making sense of something, she/he is almost certainly not paying attention to everything else going on. And vice versa.
The result of that is that no one seems to be able to put 4 and 4 together after they have put two different sets of 2 and 2 together. Nobody can integrate all of their knowledge together to form anything resembling an opinion or (gasp) a creative thought.
I think it’s the fault of our dull public education system. Where’s the philosophy? Where’s the art? Where’s the inspiration?
I’m glad that people seem to be able to work together and solve problems and figure things out. I’m glad that people don’t give up on each other that easilly and we give each other a chance to improve ourselves and change the world.
I’m glad that the sun comes up in the morning and shines through my window. I’m glad I have a good spot to put a plant (when I get around to buying one).
I got sick today.
Ain’t that a pisser?
I woke up and I had the sniffles.
I also think I might be depressed.
That would certainly explain the mopey nature of most of my posts in the past couple of months.
I used to be so perky and full of life!
I guess I should be glad I don’t have a job.
And I listened to some old music today. Not too old, but older
than most of the music I listen to now.
I listened to that Nirvana album. The one that made them famous.
It has “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on it. It’s a really nice album.
I also listened to an old Ministry album called “Twitch”
It’s the one I still listen to the most, even though it’s the oldest one
I have.
It’s pretty old.
Old music is nice sometimes.
It doesn’t have all the extra weight that new music has…
I’m a lot more critical now.
I’ve been sleeping a lot!
I thought I would get over it, but I sleep about 10 hours at least every night. 11 hours last night! I’m letting sleep take over my life!
It’s not even like I have some other magical dreamland to go to or anything. It’s mostly just black open space as far as I can remember. And I wake up tired. I feel much better when I sleep less. Why can’t I convince myself to get up?
Anyone who watches Ally McBeel and saw last night’s episode is probably pretty excited for John. I know I am.
Ok.
Some system upgrades to Dreamhost have been going well. That’s good. It just takes a little bit of extra planning to make everything go smoothly. If you don’t plan, you might be ok, but the slightest complication can screw everything up.
Communication is the key.
Take it from me!
We drove around looking for some new places today.
And we went out to a club tonight.
Fun stuff.
I didn’t do any work at all.
But I did add a Special Sauce entry
yesterday. As well as a new Weekly Shine.
I was thinking today that the world might not be ready for me. My ideas might actually be dangerous. They might lead to mass hysteria and mental instability. Neither of those things is much good for a large group of people. Hysterical crazy people tend to be quite difficult to control. They just tend to do what amounts to randomness. They’re an amosity in the eyes of god and should probably be destroyed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
But, only if we can do it during the commercials. We can’t miss a single second of my favorite show!
Somebody seems to have found my login and password for Worldnet dialup and used it to be online for 400 hours last month.
I called them to tell them that it wasn’t me and I wanted my money back and the fuckers didn’t believe me. They won’t give me my money back. That’s so fucked up.
So, I called my credit card people and I’m disputing the charge. What a mean world we live in.
Damn.
