…does it ever seem like everything in the world is getting worse? That everything that you know is wrong, or that there is just something more that you never knew about? Does it seem like everyone is just getting a little bit crazier?

I don’t know…

…it just seems that things are getting worse everywhere…

ah… hitting poles in parking lots is contagious! someone just hit a pole at wally-world…
i think i may have that drive i was talking about last-night working right… after i finished the formats, the thing started freaking out… i swapped a cable and changed a pin-setting… so far so good…
just got off the phone with rob… he’s havin’ fun… the alarm got set off out at aaron’s, apparently by a firecracker or something, and he had to go in to reset the alarm… not only that, but he told me that he has to be in bright and early in the morning, and it’ll only be him and one other guy… one delivery driver is out on medical leave, the other is attending a funeral, one of the sales girls is out on vacation, and the other quit a couple weeks ago…
fun, fun, fun…
well, i’d better get to bed… i got semi-chewed out last night/this (past – i guess since it’s now a new day – it’s after midnight) morning for not coming to bed until midnight…
the HDD is still going good… I guess if things go right for the next few days I’ll archive some files on it – my primary HDD is nearly full…
’twas nice talkin’ to rob… reminiscent of the old days… i miss those days, of stayin’ up late, not doin’ much of anything…

I just finished a fun project – I lifted candle-wax out of the carpet. went through half a roll of paper towels. But, hey, the room smells nice now. It was a scented candle that had gotten spilled on the floor. So, the room is filled with the aromas of heated lint and strawberries…

I just wanted to share this…

Diana: When I heard the learn’d astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.
what do you think when you read that?
[cry]

me: the wizard of oz
Diana: ahh its a poem by Walt Whitman
I do not know how do dissect something like this
My teacher: Read Walt Whitman’s poem below. What implications may it have, not just for this course, but for your journey toward a master’s degree

Diana: any thoughts?

me: when someone is capable of giving the answers, and explaining things to you, the magic is stripped, and you are left feeling empty, where the wonderment has been eradicated…
Diana: Wow! that is amazing… I get it now!
me: but, you are capable of taking this new found knowledge, and seeing it for yourself, and setting out to use it, and be able to look at things differently
you are then able to look at these things once more, with reflection, and better understanding, and then you realize that there still is more that you do not know, and that the journey will continue…
i dunno…
Diana: you are writing my response for me lol
me: that’s just my take…
that’s why i came up with the wizard of oz…
remember, Dorothy and the gang set out to find the wiz, found him, and then did his bidding, to later find that he was just a man…
the disappointment of this set in, but then, through further discovery, they found that the old man was still as important, if not more now, for they knew a bit more about him
i guess, that my interpretation is ok…
the thing is, no answer would be correct – remember the human element in everything…
well, anyway, i’m gonna get back to work…
love you…

Well, I’ve had a slow start this morning… I’ve got the coffee brewing now…
I’ve been up since 7:30, but haven’t managed to get motivated to do anything until now…
I took the kids to school, so that I could try and get some more housework done, and do a bit of homework.
I’m kinda doing the Tom Cruise Risky Business thing right now, prancin around in socks, a shirt, and underoos… I tried to slide on the floor earlier, but failed miserably, because I haven’t mopped it yet… kinda embarrassing…
Well, the coffee’s done, so I’m gonna grab a cup, crank the music, and start cleaning…

Yay! one squeaky clean NTFS volume…

DONE!
Now, we just got to create the new partition information and format it!
Yay! Another format process!

85%! Almost there!
Did I mention that this format wasn’t just a regular format? I’m formatting, and writing random data on a 60GB HD while screwing around with AutoKDJ…
… so my PC is kinda tapped on the resource front at the moment…
… poor old thing…
… I have no earthly clue as to why I am sharing this…

65%…
… and I’m outta smokes…
