I thought I saw a post here already

well, maybe it was a kitty-cat... i obviously did not finish whatever i was writing for yesterday so it somehow disappeared into the ether or whatever, so i shall reiterate whatever it was i did not post again here today and call it yesterday's entry so later tonight i can back date an entry for today... yeah, ok...

but first, a serious moment:

IS HONDURAS CIVILIZED?

yeah, just asking... meanwhile, in my irreverent life where i scream out for attention in less harmful ways, i hope the softball tournament scheduled for today was fun for those who had coaches that got their money in on time so they could actually participate...

yes, i am home, relaxing for a change, because the day was scheduled to be a full day softball tourney and it turned out to be a relaxing day of vegetative meditation and web browsing... sans TV, no less, cuz the roommates are working...

I wrote two long-winded introductory messages that shall become part of the web world eventually, but for now can be found on this message board... let's see how the meetup public reacts to my sort of ramblings... hopefully they won't throw big stones...

nyuk nyuk...

did you ever notice that the irreverent laugh give to us by that magnificent American, Curly, could also ne viewed as a New York United Kingdom connection?... what with Groucho coining the famous like, "What's that? There'll always be an England" in one of their movies or somewhere, this could lead one to suspect that the early silent and talking film comedians were actually British spies ent here to infiltrate the colonies and reinstate the monarchy... of course that may be overstating their original intent, but hey, it's a possibility...

anyway, do let me know if you think i am helping or hurting my cause (the meetup mission is to actually meet people, not scare them away with irreverence rambling, after all, which is why i don't think i've linked this particular blog just yet, but i may be considering linking The Real, which is the newest of the new blogs and frontrunner for becoming what this blog never actually did become, the brief real keep in touch blog for the offline world... besides the calendar, i mean... they don't really connect though, so i still need a calendar blog {Niel Sedaka can write the theme song} for the latest ultimate connection to the real world in real time and space and so on, kind of what began all those years ago as Anonanonanon's Dream)...

pause for crisis

I am now on hold with att dot com, keepers of the communication services and many of the web pages i currently have online... the crisis was that, when checking the address for the site just mentioned above, it came up URL not found... all pages at att appeared gone... i called att and they explained that they changed the domain... this might mean that every link on every page on all of my old att websites no longer work unless they are external... in other works, att, in their infinite corporate wisdom, has broken most of the links on the hundreds of pages on my old website...

but the good news is that i np longer have to pay for the worldnet account and, at least according to the tech i just spoke to (who gave me a confirmation number), i still have my email and webspace at att because i am an att dsl customer and they swallowed up bellsouth dsl and isn't corporate america just the best system of overcomplicating everything...

so, crisis sort of averted... unfortunately, all the connectivity i've built on hundreds of different websites to hundreds of my own pages is most likely gone, destroying the dream that all that time spent connecting link after link might one day connect me with the one and/or old friends and/or new friends and make this world a friendlier more connected place...

alas, another dream dies by the hand of corporate america...

at least i'm not Iraq... oh wait, that was so rude, feel free to erase that politically incorrect statement from memory... what i meant to say was at least it's not as bad as the disney debacle of a decade ago that actually whipped out hundreds of pages i did not have the good sense to back up offline...

of course it may not be as bad as it seems, since all that started because i forgot to include the tilde thing (~) which, until moments ago, i always called the ampersand, which (the tilde thing) was required to get to the web page because it was part of the address... shhhh, nobody has to know that...

hey, i discovered that att was charging me double for services because they did not stopp charging for prior services that should have been combined until i asked (how many customers are being double charged, i wonder)... at least my payments stopped back in January when my credit card number changed... no wonder they never sent me a bill... yeah, corporate america, it is probably all legal, but can we get any greedier or unethical?...

well, with that crisis averted (we hope) and the learning experience complete, it's about time for me to shower and dress to go out to tonight's adventure (indoor mini-golf, bowling, games, and assorted fun)... i am not joining the group for dinner at my local Mexican restaurant because i am not that big a fan of Mexican food (generally too much beans and starch and i am trying to slow down the gradual process of turning into a fat old man by eating less starches and besides, i had mexican food last night)...

surely the juxtaposition of thoughts in this entry, the egocentric empasis of the crisis (not to mention the same old dream), my usual self-mockery and irreverent doe-eyed challenges to PC and overwhelming understatements, and the opening aside about Honduras that is most likely a much more complicated issue that it may sem on the surface, was not missed by you astute readers...

remember, only you can prevent pickle juice from squirting out of your mouth... and forest fires, be careful with open flames in the woods during these dry near drought months... or anytime, for that matter... open flames burn, m'ok?...

have fun out there :)
