the internet is back
actually, it was mostly a problem at the diaryland server I think and since my weekend was supposed to be primarily about updating and uploading over there and I only got a little way into the process before the server there stopped cooperating, it was the equivalent of the internet going away... sucks, actually, cuz now I don't have time to do the updating and uploading I intended to do this weekend (so I feel so unaccomplished and all) and I don't know when the next time I will have time to do the uploading will be (maybe I'll spend my holiday later this week doing it, though I don't even know if I am taking days off for it cuz I don't know how my new position at the hospital deals with holidays {as they are open 24/7} and it's never been one I celebrated anyway, but time off for catching up {which is always a good thing as it clears my head and it's good to have a clear head once in a while} sounds very good to me)...
so the good news is the internet is back... at the moment, however, I must shower and get ready to go to the Death Cab for Cutie concert and after that it's sleep and start a new work week, so I'll be gone now that the internet is back... take care of it while I am away, won’t you, cuz the internet is a good thing to have around...
and thanks for stopping by and reading and thanks especially more for commenting and letting me know you are out there...
you help make this world a better place for me when you do that J

Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half.

i've been downloading 'death cab for cutie' quite a bit since i've noticed them on your list of musical preferences. harry chapin too, but he's too country garth brooks like, i dunno, but yeah, death cab rule:z!
Q - I must laugh, sad though as that truism may be... I am not one to talk as I am in that half that avoids the news and does not vote... I don't mention it much because I think people probably should vote, even if the choice is between limburger and Roquefort (or between horseshit and bullshit, to be more precise) and I don't want to influence anyone not to vote... I simply make my choice out of laziness and lack of habit, but there may be some deeper meaning I'll expound upon behind my abstaining too... as for the news, I believe Mother Theresa was right on that point when she said "I don't read the news because I want to know the truth"...
Z – Death Cab was excellent... and friendly people to bump into and bounce with as well... and Dreamer was very appreciative (as it was her birthday gift) and I felt great getting some in-person real-life appreciation... so all in all, a great concert and a great night...
Harry can be very Garth Brooks, but there are other genres he explores as well... and quite often, his lyrics are amazingly emotional stories... if you can find the 22 minute long There Only Was One Choice you will hear a song that has many musical changes and tells a story I can relate to well... he has hard lyrics about a ghetto kid who became a military hero only to return to the ghetto with just one skill and no job offers... and another song based on the true story of the guy who climbed the tower at the University of Texas a while back and shot people... another is a twisted story about a corrupt politician and a kid who fell in love with his daughter... he has songs about abortion, self-abuse, hopelessness, the stories, even more than the music, is what attracts me to Harry... his words are full of nuances, plot twists, cynicism, hope, and wry humor... and some of my favorites reflect philosophical views I call my own... then I am further influenced (and biased) to love him and his work because he lived a life in and away from music that I greatly admire in many ways...
