I’m continually exasperated over this damn blog. It’s obvious because I’ve been ignoring it for the last month after struggling for the past several months with the fucking comments system. I know they don’t work but I don’t know why and back in the day I could have figured it out. I’ve trolled through the movabletype forums without much success and so I’m left with that ultimate blog question, is it time to quit? Where I was meeting and linking to new people all the time, now I haven’t done a damn thing and I feel like the whole point has sailed for me and I’ve been left behind. It’s so frustrating.
But then I think I’ve been doing this for eight years, EIGHT YEARS! and I’ve grown the most wonderful friendships with people I guess I’d never have met otherwise. I wrote some things that I thought were witty and pretty good and then a lot of schlock and dregs of course. I just can’t think of not doing and when I try to imagine, I know I’ll be right back and then what was the point. So I’m just thinking. I have to divert myself from all my other time-wasters and focus on relearning the MT system to take advantage of the technology that is so different from when I first installed the system way back when.
So I’m just ranting, ranting, ranting. Feh.

Your band name from a random Wikipedia article is the first article title
Your album title from a random quotation is the last four words of the last quote on the page.
Your album art from a random Flickr photo is the third picture on that page.
Here is my first and only album. It’s a down-tempo chill mix with some deep house velvet vocals:

Ok..did some detective work and figured out the commenting. Now everyone not associated with Movabletype or Typepad can comment without having to register.
Anyone still out there? I need some attention. I’m a whore.
12/30 Update: Of course anyone can comment now but as these things happen, now the comments are showing when you click on them. I’ve employed the help of the Movabletype elves to help me figure it out (something about the mapping of the archives…blahbiddy, blah, blah, blah). Stay tuned. Almost there.

Not exactly sure what I tinkered with under the hood around here but for some reason, I can’t get the authorized signing in for the comments to disappear. I’m still trying to figure out and tweak stuff in the guts to get it back. Sorry.

My main complaint about everything related to myself is that I’m always 3-5 years behind everyone else. Fashion-wise, professionally, emotionally, financially, and usually pop-culturally. Flickr’s 365 Day Project where each member takes one self-portrait of themselves and posts it each day for a year has been going on for years on the ‘net and Blog but I’ve only just discovered the greatness of Flickr and these kinds of group projects that much smarter people have not only done but grown so tired of, they’ve moved on to bigger and better things.
With the impending new job that promises 4-5 days of traveling around the US each week, I’d been thinking that I had a great opportunity to re-infuse this blog’s horrifically lagging boredom as well as give me some focus and direction. I think pairing my travelogue with the 365 Day Project makes great sense. I just didn’t want to wait until January to start so I’m starting today, inspired by some really great photography on Flickr. Let me be the first to say that I’m under no illusions that I’m a photographer, have any sense of style or composition, or understand the essentials of photography tools to be able to be anything but be another blade of grass in a really big yard. That’s my cop-out.
Still, here we go:

So the redesign is somewhat better then that nightmare before. Not exactly the most creative but it will do in a pinch until I can find something better or figure out how to time-travel back to before my MBA when I actually knew how to do CSS coding and whatnot.

I will eventually get around to updated the blog and fixing all this damnable CSS crap that is fucking up shit around here. In the mean time, I’m in a cast and wishing all my Vicodin had not disappeared.
Update: For everyone who asked about my cast and what happened, prepare to be bored: I developed a cyst on the base of my hand this summer that continued to grow. Seems I had torn cartlidge in my hand that was causing the cyst so I finally went in for the repair and they had to remove the pisiform bone while they were in there so the cast is one for until early December for wrist stability until everything heals. Not too exciting, I know.
