This is the end...
Okay, the new server is up and running and seems to be widely accessible. I've archived this bloggy here. From now on, my posts will appear on the all new Be Less Boring.
Well, the domain info is still propagating around, so you can't resolve the new domain from everywhere yet. It was working fine in my office for a while, but now it's not. It should be all better in a day or two.
You might not believe this, but several years ago I had a girlfriend. Yes, yes, as hard as it is to believe, it is true. Well, once upon a time she and I had a discussion about certain nursary rhymes. Well, I never read Mother Goose when I was a kid, but I do remember hearing some of the rhymes when I was very little. So, when this particular conversation came up, I stated my version of a Mother Goose classic and she insisted that I had it wrong. Well, it turned into a bit of an arguement. It wasn't a serious one, but we were definitly both convinced we were right. You know how that is. She showed me a fabric version she had from her childhood that had one version of the nursary rhyme. I went online and found several sites that had something closer to the version I learned. So, it seemed we were both right or both wrong.
Yesterday I happened across the Real Mother Goose and found that same nursery rhyme, except it was essentially the version my ex-girlfrend insisted was correct. Well, I consider Mother Goose to be the authority on nursery rhymes, so now I find myself having to admin that I was mistaken and she was right. Elaine, wherever you are, you were right. I was misinformed. I'm sorry for doubting you.
PAT-A-CAKE
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake,
Baker's man!
So I do, master,
As fast as I can.
Pat it, and prick it,
And mark it with T,
Put it in the oven
For Tommy and me.
Sunday morning marks the end of the annual period known as Daylight Saving Time. I wish we could pick one time standard or the other. I'm not alone in that wish. Switching back and forth is annoying and stupid. Some places have the good sense not to bother with it at all. "Daylight Saving Time, for the U.S. and its territories, is NOT observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, most of the Eastern Time Zone portion of the State of Indiana, and the state of Arizona (not the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe)." However, since we have to do it, you might as well try to make the best of it.
It has been snowing out most of this morning. No accumulation yet, but it's only a matter of weeks or even days until there is. Are you ready for winter yet?
Okay, I had a good laugh over this site in the last post, but then I started thinking about it and it's really frightening that there are people in the world who think like that. This is the reason I gave up on Christianity and organized religion in general. I found there were just too many spiteful, bigoted, vindictive people who called themselves Christians and draped themselves in a cloak of self-righteousness.
Christianity, like most major religions, preaches tolerance, acceptance, peace and love at its core. Unfortunately, many people twist it into a tool of hatred, distrust, intolerance, and spite. That seems to be what Christina has been taught to do. That's just wrong, but Christians certainly don't have an exclusive on that--Osama bin Laden is doing the same kind of thing in his Muslim faith. The Muslim religion preaches essentially the same ideals as the Christian religion, but with a somewhat different foundation.
Maybe instead of having freedom of religion in this country we should have freedom from religion. I have nothing against spirituality and, in fact, do have a very spiritual side. I just don't like the zealotry, bigotry, and hatred that go with most organized religions. I say "most" because I really do hope there are some religions out there that do not have that side, but I haven't found one yet, though everyone claims theirs is the one.
You're the sad smile,the one that regrets nearly everything and is constantly wondering about what could have been.You're not happy with your situation and usually blame yourself because of the bad things that have happened.Cheer up.
"And The Dragon seperated the virtuous from the sinful. He tore his eyes from his sockets and used them to peer into the souls of those on trial to make a judgement. He knew that with endless knowledge came endless responsibility."
Some examples of the Dragon Form are Athena (Greek), St. Peter (Christian), and Surya (Indian). The Dragon is associated with the concept of intelligence, the number 5, and the element of wood. His sign is the crescent moon.
As a member of Form 5, you are an intelligent and wise individual. You weigh options by looking at how logical they are and you know that while there may not always be a right or wrong choice, there is always a logical one. People may say you are too indecisive, but it's only because you want to do what's right. Dragons are the best friends to have because they're willing to learn.
That last post was, of course, a joke. I can think of lots of things to say about me. Just ask me sometime.
Work on the new website is progressing slower than I'd hoped, but it is progressing. Watch for the announcement when it goes online, hopefully very soon.
Aside from that, I finished up one class Monday night. Next week is the midterm exam in my other class. I plan to skip it. Sometimes you've just got to say skip the test!
