This Morning
Noah did his morning man routine and was up before anyone else watching cartoons.
I could not get out of bed quick enough to help the dog make it outside.
I hate not waking up early enough but man doesn’t body wish it could stay in bed longer.

Professor: And how long did you think about that?
Goodbye Google – We will miss your logos July 18, 2004 10:00 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI took this from Kurzweil which looks like a direct quote from The Guardian but it was so exciting I had to quote it directly.
The Guardian, July 15, 2004
Blinkx is a new search engine that’s taking on Google. Launched today, it has been recording 6 million hits a day solely from word of mouth.
Blinkx doesn’t only search the web but simultaneously scours news sites, blogs, emails, attachments and your own hard disk. It does all this unobtrusively in the background until you pass your cursor over icons at the top or bottom of the page, when it reveals a digest of related sites as well as material from Word, Excel or PDF files. If you are working in a word processing document, it provides the same service.
And unlike Google, it uses artificial intelligence to rate stories, not page rankings.

Gargoyle Cat July 18, 2004 11:50 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeYou should work at this computer. The cat rolling off the monitor in deep sleep into your hands is something to experience. When she does, she feels like a rag doll with absolutely no bones in her body.
The cat’s whole body just rose 2 inches and returned to the monitor as if it were in a Warner Brothers cartoon when the dryer buzzer went off. Then she slowly turned to me, squaked a complaint and returned to sleep.

The Struggles of Pre-teendom (Part I) July 17, 2004 7:30 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeAt eleven I act five
I wish my breast were alive
I think I deserve to be seventeen
Give me independence
Don’t be so mean
When I am there
I can declare I am free to be me
When I am there
He is not here
And I can worry only about me
My parents are dorks
One brother is a jerk
The other a pain
My sister is adorable
But only when we are playing
I hear them say I am smart
Which means I am special
So I mouth off alot
It is what adults do
And I have to be as responsible as you

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeStudent: Why start? I’ll probably do it wrong anyway. Why finish? It won’t be good enough.
Master: Isn’t something never begun wrong already? How is the next great adventure to begin if the prior is not placed behind us?

Today the toilet overflowed potentially damaging our cabinetry and tainting the insulation and other wall innards that were pieced together with such care, perfection and attention to detail. It overflowed because I was overconfident and careless.
East
Today we were given inspiration to finish some things that we were waiting to “get around to it”. Today started out great and has been given reason to be even better. Today we are reminded to take things in stride.
North
Today no one was hurt. With minimal effort a mess was cleaned. All damage easily repaired.
South
Today tools were out of place. Parts were missing. Today I felt lost, incapable, lazy and not living up to my full potential. Today I scared my child and insulted my wife.

Inescapable July 17, 2004 9:32 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeChoas reigns
In perpetuity the circle spins
Hands grasping at grains
Unstoppable
Tears removing happiness
Innocence bellows away
Desire seeks the path of least resistance
Following downward deeper into despair
Futilely Man tells Nature The Order
Scornfully Nature disciplines Man
The Law is unforgiving
Inaction is individualist
Unallowable
Hurtful to others
Ambivalence is a choice
There is no easy way out
Of a hole that only grows deeper
When the dirt you throw out
Never reaches the top
And all you want to do
Is stop stop stop
Trauma to begin
Trauma to grow
Trauma to end
A butterfly in Kansas
A tsunami in Japan
A farmboy with a magnifying glass
A sudden calm in the storm
A tired child rests
The hay flares up
And Choas reigns
