My moody μοῖρας

Some random Google searches, always humorous...

When life kicks you in the ass
, laugh your ass off, gives Life a smaller target.
When life kicks you in the ass, make sure it kicks you forward
When life kicks you in the ass, turn around and kick it back. Then take it by the scruff of the neck and teach it not to kick you again
When life kicks you in the ass and gives you a handful of snails and industrial waste, make a traditional french meal.
When life kicks you in the ass it will leave a much smaller dent then it did would have before. [ed. Huh?]
When life kicks you in the ass, and you bite you lip and keep moving through the rains of fire.
When life kicks you in the ass, redirect your emotions and open your mind fully to the situation.
When life kicks you in the ass, ride a horse next time.

Yeah, it's been a week... it's been hard this past week. Rock on, universe, ... let my μοῖρας take me forward.

"Blogs are dead, long live Facebook"

I'm dying here... uck, uck, splah-chooo...

No really, there's just not a large pool of time for my brain these days which is either public (too much work) or that I have the time to flesh out my grand ideas.

It's been basketball season, now baseball season and it nukes my available time. Plus work projects are running over (reassigned to several odd projects, throws my timeline back).

Then there's RSA crypto, the Greek text and several other house, ranch and family projects leaving me with the odd couple of hours in which I just waste on movies and TV shows.

So sorry, dear readers, it's just not in the cards. Hit me up on Facebook, if for some bizarre, inexplicable reason you'd actually want to hear from me.

I iz lamer....

Well, actually I've had a few great thoughts lately, but they have yet to coagulate so far...

Subjects of late include:
  1. Is running for office tax deductible - I realize there are special rules for "big campaigns," but I'm thinking more along the lines of the average Joe Politik running for mayor.
  2. Post 9/11 retribution literature - There's a huge, growing body of literature devoted to the fantasy of "hitting back" and getting even for 9/11. Often they take a middle ground in treating Islam as a dualistic peaceful / hateful, but not always.
  3. Relatedly, the death of shock in modern media. We've seen it all in TV and Movies, there's no real shock anymore. What comes next?
Anyway, just a few random ideas, maybe they'll make it here one day!

Happy V Day!
