Hello?


Anyone there?


<sigh>

Well, for those of you who are here….please bear with me. Ironically, I was really busy the last few weeks of my last contract, and didn’t have time to work on the site. I was then unemployed for a couple of months, and somehow didn’t feel the urge to sit in front of ye old computer. Now, I have a new contract, which is keeping me busier than I am accustomed to, and I also have all kinds of things being cooked up behind the scenes.

<BLOG GEEK> I am currently trying to configure Movable Type, learn CSS, add my Blogroll, and decide what to do for pictures without a digital camera! </BLOG GEEK>

<POLITICS GEEK> Hey, check out the Selectsmart dealie on the left! I know it’s still early for the 2004 election but I just want to find a way to oust our current dictat….err…you know…. </POLITICS GEEK>

Oh Yeah! I have a new Mini-Me! (…Wee-Mee…whatever) Whaddya Think?

If I could keep time in a bottle…

Federal Courts Building

…..I would still be sitting here wondering where it keeps going every day. My To Do List gets longer every single day and I fear that the Completed Checklist is looking a bit anemic.

<sigh>

Yesterday evening, being one of the few free ones that I had this week, I had grandiose plans of getting tax information squared away, cleaning up some of the house, putting together a fabulous entry for the site….and I basically went to Target and bought stuff. I mean toothpaste, shampoo, a new shirt that was on sale, earth-shatteringly important stuff!

<double-sigh>

Soo….I have 2 weeks left at my current contract, and no word as of yet if a new one is pending. I try not to worry about such things…but paying my mortgage delivering pizzas does not seem likely.

<mega-sigh>

On the plus side, Pattern Recognition is in-crucking-fedible. I am leary of posting much on it, as I am only 100 or so pages into it, but lo, it is good.

I think we need to ammend the TGIF acronym…I’ll give you 3 guesses at what the extra F stands for…….nope…….NO! What are you mental?…….There ya go!!!

Seriously, I have noticed a major funk cloud surrounding the blogs I frequent…does everyone loathe their day jobs as much as I? I am outta here on March 28th, and STILL my job seems hellish to the nth degree. In an attempt to cleanse myself, I offer you………………….The Friday Five!


1. What was the last song you heard?



2. What were the last two movies you saw?

    IDS Tower


    Good Lord! I am really, really, ready to reach out and strangle someone!!

    Umm, oh, err, Hi there! Sorry about that little emotional outburst, but I fear that my frits are wayed. Yeah……did I mention that I hate people? When I say people I don’t mean all people, I mean those people. You know……PEOPLE!!

    I’m even willing to give all those Minnesota drivers out there a break, (Editors Note: Notice, I did NOT use the word brake. We do not condone those types of puns here.) and just concentrate on the people at hand. Specifically, every single employee of the City of Minneapolis.

    <Rant Mode Off>

    Can you believe it’s March already? (I realize it’s not ’till tomorrow…just go with me) I mean, if it’s March, that means that SuperAmerica is going to have Shamrock cookies! And if SA has Shamrock cookies, then it’s almost St. Patricks Day. And if SA has Shamrock cookies and it’s almost St. Patricks Day then it’s almost my Birthday! And if blah blah blah I’m ALMOST TWENTY-SEVEN!

    Literature


    Yeah, yeah…I know…with a title like that, the geek flag is raised mighty high…

    I feel a little like explaining some of my intentions here with iam.jackswastedlife.org…I guess I have looked around this great internet of ours, I have seen many, many blogs. I will not even hazard to guess how many are out there, and yet, there are a very precious few that I can actually read on a regular basis. So, I almost wonder why I’ve even bothered to put myself out here. I guess the reason that I’ve come up with, is that I want to stretch myself as an artist. And presently, the artist in me is not quite sure exactly what his art is.

    I obviously like web design, I have dabbled in poetry and fiction, and I am returning/re-examining my role as a photographer. And the big thing for me going forward is that I not settle. I was tempted over the last week to enter in something just to DO something. But really, I think there is already plenty of stuff to look at on the internet that gets updated every day….some things even more often….and I really think that it’s the content that matters.

    So! In my growing need to push myself to come up with literature, pictures, and other various cyber-goodies, I have tried something new. The picture above, has been “tweaked” via Photoshop. This is the first pic I have doctored, and I am still getting my feet wet in that area. There is a “purist” in me, who feels that even thought I use a digital camera, that this kind of altering is not “fair”. It seems like it almost makes the medium too easy. But, I am trying to look beyond that and just view the final piece as art, and just be honest about where it came from.

    BTW, you didn’t think I somehow missed the whole WeeMee phenomenon did you?

    Behold, Mini-Me:
