I love R & R, I hate MS

yeah, or better yet, woah!... in fact, woah! woah! woah!

Say Anything was fantastic... the other groups did their part and each had a contingent who tried to rush the stage and stir the crowd (and as usual for Orlando, the crowd was rather wooden most of the night... I don't get why people would pay extra money or get to a show real early to get to the front of the stage and then just stand and stare as if they are sitting home watching TV... concerts are active participatory events where dancing, jumping, head banging, not to mention applause, singing, and screaming is encouraged and kind of expected... yet crowds seem stiff, maybe self-conscious, and definitely lacking in energy at most concerts I've been to in Orlando... but then, I compare these crowds with crowds from different times in different places, including New York, Toronto, San Francisco, Los Angeles, so maybe it's not fair to compare, but I do miss the energy... not to mention the partnership, but that's another lament for another time because there's just no room for any further lamenting tonight)...

dang, the force is strong in that lamenting gene, not to mention the sharing and perfectionist genes, but the strongest gene of all is the fun gene and fun was definitely had tonight...

I decided to stay up at the front of the crowd and let the music in to wake me, shake me, and maybe try to break me (I survived yet another manic bouncing moshing night and only got kicked once by a passing crowd surfer who caught me by surprise)... and I got a workout better even than my gym workouts because it was actually four reps of thirty minute sets (longer for the last one) and I was bouncing most of the time...

I really ought to do this every night J

ah, the child inside goes all wide-eyed and asks, can we?... so full of hope and wonder and play is that child inside... and what can I expect as I sit listening to I can do anything that I want, like you and stay awake, stay awake, survive as I sit here writing another rambling entry... poor btc, it is so neglected... but then, it's not like I have dozens of commenters (like Smed or Hiss or Danger who deserve all the attention they get, especially Smed who writes interesting blog entries every day) eagerly awaiting my next word... and in a way I am glad I don't because I'd feel sad that I don't have time to give them what they want... unless what they want is a daily synopsis of life as I live it in RealTime™ with the odd babble tossed in... but then ego has long since gotten used to living without the spotlight, stage, applause, and adoration of millions of devoted fans (but ego can still dream and always has hope because ego, like the child inside, does not have to deal with practical reality much and remains, like most kids, somehow immune to the responsibility gene)...

the rest of this entry was eaten by Microsoft... it was good... I was on a roll... I felt great... inspired by the great workout at the concert and the concert itself and more, and also inspired by this great song... and this too... and even this... oh?... whoa... yeah... it was seriously good... and I will not do it again... self-punishment for forgetting yet again that I should NEVER trust a Microsoft product, especially not Internet Explorer... and Google is no better because it says it saves entries here at Blogger, but it does not do that well at all as most of this entry was not saved and ten minutes passed before the crash freeze Microsoft failure happened...

fuck Microsoft and all it's products....

PS... Blogger and Google still suck for not remembering my login information even after I check "Remember Me"... and being forced to enter a full email address instead of a short login sucks even more when they force me to log in every time I leave the site (and too often the Microsoft product crashes, but we all know Microsoft sucks... I was hoping Google would not suck as much but there seems to be a direct correlation between a company's growth and it's suckage)... in my first few posts here at Blogspot I found obstacles that had me pondering moving elsewhere and I now wonder why I didn't... and now the quick edit link has disappeared... maybe it is time to give Mindsay a chance...
