Month: July 2005

I always thought I’d be dead at 35.
I never thought I’d still be breathing.

Once upon a time
I was feeling fine
Delusioned, crazed
And heart ablaze

What ruined me?
Visa, Mastercard
“Charge please”

What was my downfall?
The need to please.

What brought me to my knees?
Caffeine
Simulated ADHD.

And how did I cope?
Fraternization
And fermentation.

What now?
I break
I’ve broke.

Student: I am terribly stressed.
Master: You choose to be stressed.

James of Puerilis has turned his webcam back on.

Student: Subtle
Master: Art

Apparently James and I share similar feelings.

"cup of hot coffee" — a euphemism for sex

Looks like Joseph Lieberman and Hillary Rodham Clinton are jumping on the censorship bandwagon. What happened to the "inform the parents and let them make decisions for their children" bandwagon? The government really should not be dictating morals for me nor should they be trying to raise my kids.

Postcards from Hell’s Kitchen gives us a good picture of the Republican Party.

I have this naming convention for changes. I create a folder "perclientname" so I might have folders for "perdoug" "persusan" etc. I have a client now named rick. I’m changing my naming convention.

I’m not sure why they want to speed the process along. I mean, I don’t have a good life insurance policy or something beneficial. But I am quite certainly my family is making a calculated effort at trying to give me a heart attack.

Abraham Lincoln’s famous self-instruction: “I do not like that man; therefore I shall get to know him better.”

Whether or not ol’ Abe ever said that is irrelevant. What great advice!

Found out one of my mentors from college occasionally blogs. He and another (works for HP now I think), whose site is not coming up at the time of this post, were more influential to me personally and professionally than they will ever know.

Student: Do you ponder death?
Master: I ponder life.

Student: I made a mistake.
Master: Will you do it again?

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.
