wisper is:
- sad I had to go over waffles' post but....
thinking about D.V.
this guy finds me on IRC one last time to say goodbye before he gets on a boat and leaves for 3 years. He's actually doing it.
He's living the dream. He's telling the world to suck it, bitch. He's just geting up and getting the hell out of this contry, this life, like I desrcibed in my 'sick of this shit' post.
He's out there right now.
LIVING
while I'm here at my desk with the new nin cd, last night thinking that it was so cool, now realizing that it's just the same old crap, it's all the same old crap, everything is old crap and we're all trapped here.
as usual.
I told him he's my new hero.
He asked me to go with him.
trapped
I asked him what the boat was called. He has no idea, he hasn't seen it yet, it's in New Brunswick, where his cats and 3 cases of beer are already on board. He asked me what he should call it.
"Sidartha" was my immediate response. (spelled wrong, I think.)
What's that? he asks. It was Buddhas' name before he was Buddha, when he was still the foolish prince looking for a way out of reincarnation. So Sidartha means searching for freedom from what traps us in this life.
He said that was just too perfect.
I'm a buddhist when I'm tired.
He says he will call me in a few years, maybe send a post card, we'll hook up.
Bodhisattva
So I'm looking at my phone.
I will be forever in the back of my mind, looking at the phone with a little spark of hope that perhaps....perhaps he will. And the other part of me will wonder if he really did get on that boat, if he really did live the dream, if I actually got to talk to someone that beautifully insane..but I will not hear that part because it's the one that's trapped. The other part has faith. He can be my Santa Clause and my god substitute. D.V.
The phone will ring

there is something going on with the server for the message boards, other things are goofed up too.
I have a feeling the man is on it, everything is under control, and just be patient and remember your low maintenance fees.
Mark, so sorry your brain seems to be giving trouble. At least it's not ingrown toenail.

Qiet. Always is when three little boys aren't here. Ever hear of a house echo?
So Waffles, when does a person get promoted to regular from clueless? Or do I just become a clueless regular? Or regularly clueless perhaps.

- Spent part of the day concerned about stray bullets from the nearby pistol/handgun range which was near a site I was mapping. Supposed to be damn hot and humid the next few days. I can deal with hot just fine, but i draw the line at humid. One of the advantages i have over the prehistoric arhaeologists is that i can choose any day i wish to be a "research day' and spend it indoors, poring over 100 year old documents in air conditioned bliss. there is something Zen-like in doing this type of research, the intense scrutiny of some one's life through the notice paid to them by local governments.
more brake problems. i think that my other wheel cylinder just went. that equals another $150. I think I will begin saving up for a new car...

sorabji is:
- i actually haven't done anything, the boards are supposed to move elsewhere sooner or later, but i have not gotten around to doing it.. moving the boards like a 10-12 hour project.. now what's happened is Matrixcubed.com has again disabled my account without any warning, and i was not done backing everything up for the move.
i backed up the boards as of 6/26, and should be able to set up working boards this weekend based on where everything was at that time.
i've written to Matrixcubed again to ask them to please allow me to access my stuff but they kind of don't seem to give a crap this time around.
so maybe they'll be back tomorrow, but if not it will probably be this weekend because i have too much else to do.
in the meantime, click on the link below and ask Matrixcubed what their fucking deal is.

Now I'm lucky to sleep 4. I'm surprised I haven't killed one of my patients yet with my terrible sleep habits. Might as well go lay down and give it a try, no one else seems to be around.

-Go in to Excel 97 (has to be 97)
-Start a new..whatever, I don't use excel, I wouldn't know.
-hit F5 (goto) and enter X97:L97
-now you should be at cell L97.
-hit Tab once (putting you on M97)
-hold down Ctrl and Shift while clicking the Chart Wizard button (little colored books icon, beside the globe & zoom level)
Wheee!!!!! yee haw! I could do this all day! Flying through purple land. Left mouse speeds up, right mouse for slower/reverse. Now and then a monolith screen will pass with the Excel 1997 credits.
Enjoy

A. I have like almost no tits.
B. Even if I did have some tits, I cant possibly imagine what the turn on of having a dick between them would be.
C. Uh, how soon we forget that your still being stubborn about cumming over to my team.

one of the websites i produce just got sold and this morning i found out i'm getting a big fat check. just in time too. my computer that i built myself in 1995 (i was one of the first people to have a Pentium 100 Mhz chip! haha!!) finally bit the dust. i was wondering where i was going to come up with the dough to replace it. now i can, and fix the head gasket in my car too!
better still, big names are coming aboard, people who could really help me launch my writing career in a real way.
i'm so excited.

PERSEIDS:
Read that there will not only be an eclipse on 8/11/99 at 6:03am CST but Meteor showers at the rate of 80-200 meteors per hour! "One of the years best showers peaks during the afternoon and through the night of August 12/13. The peak is slated for Thursday August 12th at 6pm EST. A secondary peak is predicted to occur around 1 A.M. August 13th but could be off by a few hours. This year we'll have a new moon just before the peak so we'll have dark skies all night.
Bring an air mattress, head away from medium size cities out to a dark-sky site."

another murder in Yosemite. nothing to do with the other three, but yet on "my" side of the park.
saw a tv news story about a man in no. cal. who started out with backyard ducks and now has 800. the Mallard hen will hatch her clutch in about ten days. the eggs that the Rouen hen hatched are all Mallards. Lame Duck had a miraculous and fruitful recovery from his fuckfest excesses. i hope they will associate with wild birds and take to the sky for migration later this year.
cheering Mark for not giving up and just letting all of us go to hell. yay Sorabji.

Well folks, just because you're a hick living in Idaho doesn't mean nothing happens. I won a pair of tickets to go see Sugar Ray and the Goo Goo Dolls on Sunday! I can hardly wait. The Gorge Ampitheatre in Washington.
I have to sing in public on Tuesday to "earn" the tickets. I made up some lyrics to a Sugar Ray tune (Every Morning) and will sing it at a place on Tuesday per the D.J's choosing. He doesn't seem so concerned about it. He says that anybody with three boys gone for five weeks deserves the tickets.
Everybody else's suggestions were "naughty." I just think about what people did for, oh, what was the old guy's name at the "alternative" station in the Bay? Nate, help me out here. Oh yeah, Alex Bennet. Women would sit nude in garden gloves and garden hats in his audience for a whole morning to get tickets to a show.
So we drive for six hours on Sunday, stay the night at a dive on Sunday night, drive back on Monday. I don't care, I haven't been to a concert in five years. I could burst.
