CNN Junkie

Well, it’s 1:44AM and I’m still glued to CNN…

I have SO many mixed feelings about all this… I don’t think we should be there (I don’t think we should have EVER been there). I don’t pretend to know worldly things, but I sure as heck know we’ve interfered SO MANY TIMES in the middle east (to THEIR detriment).. BUSH has told us NOTHING of substance to support these recent actions.

But I ALSO know that Saddam is an evil bitch who must be destroyed… (but should his people be destroyed at the same time?)…

SO here I am provisioning servers so we can increase our hosting revenues (and we sure could use em!)… watching CNN tell me that Iraq is now sending bombs over to Kuwait and CNN is wondering if they are chemical attacks.. What if they aren’t? What if we find that Saddam is just an evil bitch with NOTHING of import? What if we kill too many innocents? What if they kill too many of ours? (I view the troops there as innocents.. because they are following orders..)..

Don’t get me wrong.. If I suddenly found myself face to face alone with Saddam with nothing but a PDA Stylus, I’d scream real loud and drive that damned stylus into his EYE!!!

I’m no pacifist… but I suspect I am a cynic.. and I have lost faith in our path.. (the path of Americans)… I think that sometimes we go to far, or chase the wrong rabbit… We have ENOUGH problems right here in our own country..

And I am SO GRATEFUL that I live in a country where I can even type these words.. and I’d gladly DIE defending that…

Oh well.. back to Hosting Controller and new server provisioning… (I’m such a hypocrite).


 


There is no spoon…

Most of my success has been serendipity. I was so lucky, and then complacency came and kicked my ass (and spray painted it gold!).

Success should be a deliberate act, and I’ve gone far too long “getting by” on fate. Client screws me, I lie down.. I falter. I get emotional (and there’s a scad of examples beyond clients). It’s all bullshit and I need to get over it. What’s really important is what really IS important (we all have differing definitions of such things). Time to kick ass and take names and chew bubblegum (and I’m fresh outta bubblegum)..

Well… SCREW FATE!

I am going to improve. I am going to consider what really IS important. I’m going to focus on TODAY’S and TOMORROW’S priorities rather than worrying about next year’s goals (cause today’s priorities will LEAD to tomorrow’s goals if I don’t stuff my head full of shit.. and that ensures next year’s dreams).

I gotta kick-ass team of friends, family and supporters… Time to LEVERAGE THAT and make us ALL win. (could this blog entry be ANY more obscure??).

MOO!!!!


 


Is it LIVE or is it Laminate?

Damnit I just don’t have enough time to post all my lame(tm) nonsense to this blog. :)

I’m still bald.. Well, I gots this cute little fuzzy head… keeping the hair VERY short… I wanna look like that guy in Moulin Rouge who sings “ROXANNE”, cept I don’t wanna be narcoleptic, and I’m sure that people would love to see icewater in hell as well.

Speaking of hell, this week had some of that in it! We got this GORGEOUS new laminate flooring installed in “da HizOuse” cause all our carpet smelled like DOGGIE and KITTIE…

Now it smells new and gorgeous, and LOOKS new and gorgeous (life teaches us that these things are merely temporary, so I will not gloat)…

My new home office is fun.. I decided that wall-to-wall desk is NOT necessarily HEALTHY (it just makes one wanna work 24 hours a day). I gave my reef tank to my best friend and his hunny and moved my 67 gallon into my new room setup. My new temporary desk setup lets me face the HOUSE and turn around and look out my window. Soon (I Hope), I will paint my room with some spiffy victorian (dark) colour and then move my office desk into my home office.

Now I have FAR LESS room for computers and papers and whatnot, but frankly I think that’s a good thing for me. At least I can actually NOT have my TV 3 inches from my face!

I have to keep reminding myself that “Minimalist is good!”..

What would Spartacus say?
