Finally! I’m getting to actually do some writing…

Lately, It’s been impossible to actually get to write. It seem like I’ve been running form one crisis to another without getting a chance to breathe.

It’s the end of the week and I’m finally in a quiet place without anything on the agenda. My RAID array is rebuilding after the loss of one disk drive and it’s proving a good excuse to hang around the house.

The RAID doesn’t need me at all to complete it’s task, but it’s a great excuses for those folks that take time out of my day.

In the past week I’ve rebuilt a computer twice. Installed a new system. Installed 2 printers and helped on a 3rd, packed one printer up so that it could be returned to the factory. Not to mention having my RAID go down and updating the hell out of a netbook.

I’m beginning to feel like an IT department… Now if I could only get paid like an IT department, Oh Wait! aren’t those mostly paid in rupees these days? Humm maybe I should start answering the phone in a heavy accent… It’s a thought.

Today is mine… I’ve got some nice tunes going, a hot steamy cup of coffee and just a few phone calls to make.

Now to get back to my writing project…

"hi"

That is why I’m on fewer and fewer “adult oriented” social media sites.

“hi”

I hate that! I go to the trouble of creating a fairly complete profile, I specifically state who I am, my hobbies, interests, and a small bit of humorous information about me precisely so that the reader has enough to

a) Decide if they’d like to speak to me
b) Have something around which to start a conversation.

“‘sup?”

How about a complete sentence or better yet a whole thought?

Something like;

Hi there, I enjoyed reading your profile. You’re a SCUBA diver? I’m curious about it, but worry that it’s too expensive for my budget. Would you have time to give me a basic run down from your perspective?

At least there is a basis for a conversation.

Or how about a sender saying;

Dammn! you’re handsome… wanna fuck?


I could handle and respect that and at least it’s not wasting my time and burning through my patience with inane one word responses that pass as a conversation. Hell I could program my phone or computer to answer with one randomly chosen word in response to your one word “Conversation Starters”.

“what are you doing?”


This is another major time waster… how do I answer that? Would it be appropriate for me to say;

I’m taking a huge dump and wondering if I’ve got time to jerk off before I have to get dressed for that church service?


I’ve often thought about answering that way but frankly I fear the string of one or two word responses that I’d have to respond to.

I can picture something like;

“Cool”
“like to suck you.”
“ummm hot”


Of course if I look up the senders location it’s one extreme or the other. It’s always the sender is somewhere like Cambodia. Or the sender is 5 miles away and I when I say GREAT! Come on over I could use a blowjob. I’d like to see my cum dripping from your chin


Then suddenly, the conversation stops. Or there are endless excuses…

You know, if you’re going to say you’d like to suck my dick…

Put your mouth where my dick is!

Kind of an "OH SHIT" morning.

Was looking at the bank accounts today and thought “OH SHIT”! Time to get some income!

To that end I’ve started a more intensive jobs search. I’m leaning more toward contract positions, preferably short term contracts.

The problem is that here in California it’s a virtual wasteland.

There are some positions but almost al of them are well beyond even my 90 mile one way commuting range.

Yeah… I’m a nutjob so what?

This of course leads me once again to the thought. If I have to move INSIDE California to be close to my job… WHY not move OUT of California entirely?

Perhaps Karma, life, or the universe is sending me a message… you know something like;

GET OUT OF CALIFORNIA!!!

Dunno, I’m a bit thick….

Thinking block!

I’ve not written here in a while.

It’s not that I haven’t written… It’s just that what I have written isn’t up to standards.

That’s not to say that I have high standards…

It’s just that I’ve started with some interesting premises and then as I wrote, the premise and any underlying logic evaporated.

What I ended up with was a horrific mental abortion that didn’t pass even my dismal standard of writing quality.

So I’m applying the written version of if you can’t say something worthwhile don’t say anything at all.

I guess I need a mental enema or perhaps something a little more carnal to get the creative juices flowing. I’ve been spending way too much time in my head and not nearly enough time in my dick.

Desert dirtiness anyone?

Mergerus Interruptus

I was reading this article about the AT&T, T-Mobile mess.

It turns out the T-Mobile is shedding customers on worries ABOUT the merger!

I can’t blame the customers.

If you’re trying to escape the tyranny of AT&T you’re not likely to sign a contract with T-Mobile until you know the outcome of the merger hearings. That leaves you as a customer heading to Sprint or Verizon.

Of course this means that all AT&T has to do to eliminate their competitors is threaten to merge with them.

This does not set a good precedent, there has to be a better system. Rampant mergers and acquisitions have demonstrated time and time again that the customers interests are a very very distant concern.

It’s exactly this kind of think that has sparked the Protests on Wall Street and in cities across the nation.

I’m all for capitalism. However, I’m beginning to wonder if we’ve slipped too far for simple legislation. The corruption goes too deep and reaches from the lowest echelons to the highest offices in the land.  So much is about greed, power, and “I’m going to get mine regardless of who it screws.”

The question is… is there any way to prevent monopolies without destroying capitalism and entrepreneurial spirit?  What’s it going to take for the American People to say stop?

A more interesting question is after we say stop!  How far are we as a people willing to go to enforce our will?

If you’ve been wrestling with these questions, you’re not alone.
