I turned thirty last week, which wasn't quite as traumatic as I thought it would be, & I have to admit that I'm sorta looking forward to my thirties (like I have a choice) (well, yes, I guess I do, but let's not go there)
for the most part, I try to keep to a philosophy of learning from my mistakes & regretting nothing (which...

random thing:
since the build-up to the War in Iraq I've been getting most of my news from the British Press which, to me, seems a bit less sycophantic, plus the slightly different "flavour" of English will often draw my attention to something I might otherwise slide over.

bush should get rid of the "thou shall not covet thou neighbor's ass" or whatever it is also...but maybe ass should be oil
I had a pretty good b-day, thanks for asking.
I was going to drive to SLC, but for some reason decided to call a friend in Reno before embarking, & it turned out that she was driving here to suprise me.
so I decided to stay here. to be surprised.
did some hiking, barhopping, babequeing, visiting & such-like.

Yeah, that's the part I never understood about the anti-homosexuality stance. They have a right to find anything they want morally objectionable, but why do they want to legistlate that? Why do they want to interfere in other people's lives so badly? And why are the people that want to legislate sexuality so often the same people who talk about how government intrustion is bad?
MoveOn.org is conducting it's primary today (& yesterday) & I think it's something worth checking out.
(for what it's worth, I read thru all the candidates positions & it seems to me that Dennis Kunich seemed closest to what I'd like to see in a President, (but I also thought that Nader had a genuine shot--&, to be honest, still do--so there ya go.)

nothing here today
seriously, nothing here today
you really don't want this, okay?
you REALLY, REALLY don't want to go any further
there's plenty of other places to scamper around in alright?
I warned you:
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Constantinople

Hoorray! for this most welcome contribution to the Music Day.
I dunno who wrote this song, but reading what I suppose is the original version instantly kindled the memory of the cover Dario Moreno did (in french) some 4O years ago.... he was a star then.... do you picture who Dario Moreno was?
Imagine Danny De Vito, only shorter and wider, with John Waters moustache.
He had this unmistakeable way for singing
"Mexico, MexiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiico"
in his greatest success, "Mexico, Mexico".
Damn, I have now "Mexico, Mexico" stuck in my head.
On a lighter note, I sometimes fancied learning to play washboard.
But nobody plays it here.

living in a rural-type area (as I do) with internet access can make for a curious combination of instant & delayed gratification.
I lived in NYC for a couple of years & I could pretty much find anything my heart desired, & any number of things that I never knew I wanted or needed until I wandered into a dusty store at random on walkabout....

I can't answer questions 1 and 2....
but question 3! oh boy! There's simply too many things to do......
currently, I would probably end glueing them on a slightly outmoded jacket for having something David Byrne- style to wear in case I'd be invited to a party.

I should just open an animal shelter...that'd make me feel better.

this not the first time this has happened.

what the fuck is going on here?
I'm not the fastest typer in the world, but I'm fairly familiar with the keyboard, so I'm pretty sure i'm not hitting any of the wierd keys at the bottom--so what's the deal?

after an absence from the computer for a couple of days I checked my email to find it stuffed with maybe 8 messages (under slightly different headings) that promise that little ol' me can help "STOP HILLARYS {sic} BOOK" by purchasing a deck of cards with pictures of Hilary Clinton on them & various "outrageous" quotes.

Hello!
Great to read you again. Thanks to your posts, these unfathomable mysteries of north-american politics are made clear even to us ignorant foreigners.
(in order to gain some additional information, i'm considering buying the card deck published by the Rseau Voltaire, portraying the 52 most dangerous members of the Bush government...."the Department of Defense has shown the effectiveness of playing cards as a way of identifying the enemy".... so true....)
When I think of it, didn't the TV show "Dark Skies" unveil, some years go, some disturbing secrets about Colin Powell's past experiences (back in the '60s) with leech-like extraterrestrials?

Thanks for the informations!
I told you: U.S. politics are incomprehensible to non-americans, without some help by somebody "in the know".... (is it the correct way to say it?)
.... so is this Donald Rumsfeld REALLY your Secretary of Defense?

i think there are things to be learned from "regrets"
(play "heartwarming-style" tv music here)
everyone screws up and you sound like you have had a much more exciting life than most people i know so far.
happy late bday.
