 I have been with out a computer for a few days. I had no idea that technology had such a hold on me. Maybe I didn't realize because I was on the computer so much in my free time. I decided that I no longer want my kids to learn plumbing or appliance repair - they need to be a computer expert. So many people are dependant on technology and only like, say - oh, twenty (or so) people can fix these things. It made me think about the Amish. They don't need to back up their hard drive. Just make sure their tools are sharp, clean and sturdy. I wonder if the Amish teens sneak a PSP like some American teens sneak a beer or smoke. Another thing - the digital world might make music and photography faster, simpler, and portable......but at the price of something tangable that lasts longer. During a power outage you can't look at a digital picture - but you can look at an album of 4x5 prints. Maybe technology puts a premium on actual records, cd's, polaroids and glossy 8x10's.

 A tin-foil hat, also tinfoil hat, is a general term for a piece of headgear made from one or more sheets of tin foil, aluminium foil, or other similar material. Some people wear the hats in the belief that they act to shield the brain from such influences as electromagnetic fields, or against mind control and/or mind reading. Such hats are very uncommon in mainstream society, as the injuries they might guard against are highly speculative, and their effectiveness in preventing such harm would be dubious even if the danger were plausible. Instead, the concept has become a popular stereotype and term of derision; in Internet culture, the phrase (sometimes as the abbreviation "TFH") serves as a byword for paranoia. my toe keeps cracking | ||

This morning my wee one said to me, "try some of this cereal - it has 10 vitimans" I shot the TV out like Elvis. Then I tried the cereal. I am going to say there was no more than, say - 8 vitimans. TOPS.  | ||

 One of the great philosophers of our modern times, William Preston once asked this question to humanity: “will it go round in circles”. My answer to this questions is: yes. Why, you ask – do I think this? Well, as a mere mortal with sub Prestonian thought processes – it is hard to say. But, in my life lately……the same things keeping happening. I bet I wrote something along these lines a few months ago. Didn’t I already see this episode of M*A*S*H* ? I already went through this conversation with my boss. Didn’t I just get a box of trash bags? Orange! Orange! Orange! I paid that bill last month. Your mother is coming again? I already purchased this book. I know I have been to this remote diner in Delaware before, I know it. I’ve never been to Delaware. Maybe it is the circles in my life that make me comfortable. Maybe I just need my life to go around in ovals. Do a lot of the same stuff (curviest part of oval) and pepper in some new stuff (the more linear part of oval) Yeah. That’s it. I need to seek out the new. Notice the subtle differences in the crowd on the train. Maybe today I won’t mow the lawn north to south – I’ll hit that east to west. Boxer briefs……..maybe today…… On the album Live in New York – before John Lennon sings “Instant Karma” – John says something like, “I am just starting to understand what this song is all about”. And so am I Ever action has a reaction. I forget my money for the vending machine at home…….hello……we’re getting new vending machines and the contents of the old one are out for the employees to take for free. (thank you for the pop-tart and balance bar H.R.)……that is INSTANT karma. Karma. Well. I’ve done some bad things and some bad things have happened to me. I’ve done some good things and some good things have happened to me. But my question to humanity is two parts: 1) Does the chaos theory fit in to karma? 2) If I do good things intentionally in an effort to boost my “good karma bank” – is this a good thing or a bad thing? 3) Or are we just fancy sea weed floating in a salty sea of free will. Wait. That’s three questions.  | ||

Karma? I just think that things happen, regardless if you do good are bad things. I think all people are psychic to some degree, and I don't mean they are able to read minds, there are waves flowing all throughout the universe that change with each action, what are these waves, well. it's some kind of energy, I don't know exactly what, some people call it psychic energy, some cosmic waves of life, some this and some that. Who cares what they are called, the point is that some people are affected, are more in-tune, can read/channel these waves of life's energy more readily than others, that's why you forgot your money for the vending machine. Or perhaps the day before you overheard (without realizing that you did) they were being replaced, and you just didn't register that fact, but your subconscious mind did. Now back to karma and waves, I think what some people call karma is actually what happens when you put off negative energy, that negative energy will come back to you, or more like your energy will seek it out to balance itself out, and vice versa. Years ago I was more attuned to the spiritual (and I don't mean religion), I could occasionally see the aura surrounding people, not just sense it as many people can without knowing it (like when you just know to stay away from someone, that person is a bad person, etc., kids are particularly good at this), I could at times see this colorful energy emanating from people. For instance, I had long abandoned my link with the spiritualness of life, but the day I saw my wife, WOW!, I saw her from behind but there was such an aura coming from her, I could see it, hear it, smell it. and feel it, I was floored and completely smitten with her in that split second, and I knew that I had to be with her. So this goes back to those waves of energy, everyone (some more than others) can since them, some more than others are affected by them, or some - somehow know what to do (usually without knowing why or how) with this energy, whether they want to or not, and it changes the energy that surrounds them, changing their attitude, what they feel, what they do, even what they may think. Now there is thought, intelligence, morals, etc., can really be a factor in how we filter this energy, but I'm getting bored and am going to another somewhere else.... | ||

and then there is this article: BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) -- This Andean highlands capital has twice felled famed hacker and security consultant Kevin Mitnick. "I'm looking forward to getting on the first plane to the United States," Mitnick, 42, said Wednesday from his hospital room in the Colombian capital, where he said he'd been laid up for about three days with a bad flu. On a separate visit back in May, the author of "The Art of Intrusion" and "The Art of Deception" said, he spent a day in the hospital for tests after experiencing chest pains and elevated blood pressure. Mitnick blamed Bogota's 8,700-foot (2,650-meter) elevation and a prescription drug he was taking for that trip to the hospital. This time it was simply a nasty flu, accompanied by a fever reaching 40 degrees centigrade (104 degrees Fahrenheit), that prevented Mitnick from attending a big weekend hacker's conference in New York. "I tried to get to the airport to get to the plane to New York and just couldn't make it," he said. Mitnick, in Colombia on consulting work for a client he would not name, said doctors had given him antibiotics, morphine and a penicillin shot in the rear end -- "which was the worst thing that ever happened to me." Mitnick spent more than 5 years in prison for actions that prosecutors said included stealing software and altering data, causing millions of dollars in damage to companies including Motorola Inc., Novell Inc., Nokia Corp. and Sun Microsystems Inc. Released in 2000, he was barred for three years from contact with computers and then parlayed his notoriety and skills into a successful security consulting, speaking and writing business. http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/internet/07/27/mitnick.hospitalized.ap/index.html | ||

Buzz, remember when I thought that moe. song was about your friend getting hit? I was wrong. They use the name Kyle in the song but I had always heard that Kyle was not the name of the person in real life. However, today I was bored and decided to really look it up. It turns out that Kyle was his name. Here is the rundown: Kyle's Song Artist: moe. Album: Wormwood Earliest Known Performance: January 11, 2001 Written by: moe. The song is based on when a friend of the band got hit by a car outside of the 9:30 Club in Washington DC in December 2000. After he was struck, Al (one of the moe. guitarists) was one of the first people to his side. Kyle commented "Al ... I got hit by a car." Al quickly told Kyle not to move, so that he would not further injure himself. Kyle then was quoted as say "You're a good friend Al ... that's what you are." Which made it into the lyrics of the song. Kyle is alive and well, having only sustained a shoulder injury. With cowboy boots upon his feet, Look both ways before you cross the street. I saw you flying like a superstar, Off the hood of some offending car. The ambulance came right away. Across the street, I heard him say: "Al I got hit by a car, You're a good friend Al, that's what you are." Chorus: Crushed like green velour, You can't keep him down. Who will mind the store When Kyle's out of town? Crushed like green velour, You can't keep him down. Who will mind the store When Kyle's out of town? Kyle got hurt pretty bad. I guess he earned his victim badge. He's an eagle scout with broken bones. Eating percosets and ice cream cones. 9:30 Club seems far away. But I swear I still can hear him say: "Al I got hit by a car. You're a good friend Al, that's what you are." Chorus: Crushed like green velour, You can't keep him down. Who will mind the store When Kyle's out of town? Crushed like green velour, You can't keep him down. Who will mind the store When Kyle's out of town? | ||

"Only the foolish learn from experience — the wise learn from the experience of others." — Attributed to Romanian folk wisdom by Rolf Hochhuth  As I got on my train home yesterday, I noticed that the cars were unusually crowded. So I kept on walking down the isle to the front of the train - I usually find seats there. As the front cars came in to view I noticed they were totally empty.......all the cars except for the front cars were double crowded....not good. Of course....the AC wasn't working. So what do I do.....stand in the crowded cool or sit on a hot plastic frying pan? I decided to sit in the hot car. Much hotter than it was outside. It was me and an other woman fanning herself franticly. I thought to myself, "self: let's see if we can pull this off. We'll call it a test of endurance" I sat down. and with in seconds sweat was pouring from my skin. Almost a steady stream. Then the anger came. I started talking to my self saying "why is the air conditioning not working? how can this be? WTF! is the heat on?" then I calmed down a bit and tried to find peace. I started reading. I left wet hand prints on the pages. - the train stopped - - it got hotter - Then I started to feel lightheaded. Couldn't breathe. then the euphoria started to kick in.... "I love the heat" "this feels good" "robert redford is here sitting next to me.....he seems so kind" At this point I knew I had to do something. I broke the golden rule of commuting I rode inbetween the cars. Things started to come back to me. I wasn't on a commuter train in the remote regions of India. I was at Mountain Station. I get off here Robert..... Then I got home and had about 10-12 glasses of water. The best water I have ever tasted. I figured this is what a vampire must feel like when drinking blood - or what a fish feels like being put back in to the bowl after floping around in a net. Anyway. That was that. Today, I decided to see what would happen if I didn't wear deororant.   | ||
