The voice of Cort interrupted the run of his thoughts sternly: Control the things you can control, maggot. Let everything else take a flying fuck at you, and if you must go down, go down with your guns blazing.

I'm going to vomit the last three days to you now, since I have to leave for work in 8 minutes and I probably won't do this later.
Wireless PDA
Posted by Robert on the 4th of December, 2003 at 11:27 PM GMT0. Permalink.Tags: RobertOSX
J and I went to CompUSA. I was looking at digital cameras until we started looking at PDAs. I figure with a PDA that has 802.11b and a camera, I don't need a laptop, camera, or MP3 player. I can use the PDA as a laptop to check E-mail and Internet. I can use the built-in MP3 players to play MP3s and a web server to download more songs. I can use the built-in camera to take pictures and e-mail them to store them until I get back.

Laid by James

This bed is on fire with passion and love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top
My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah you think you're so pretty

Whoever is in control of giving the correct fortune cookies to the correct people, be it some Fortune Cookie God or Fortune Cookie Control Device or mere chance, sent me a duplicate... an echo after many months. It struck me the same way touching a hot stove the second time should strike someone.

The Imaginary Drama
Posted by Robert on the 30th of November, 2003 at 3:35 PM GMT0. Permalink.Tags: RobertOSX
It came to my attention that some people manufacture drama for whatever reasons they deem necessary. I don't understand those people. Further, it seems, some people IMAGINE drama to fulfill these needs. I have a certain kind of disdain for these people. It's sad when I discover that some of my friends are this way. It makes me even sadder to discover that my "friends" involved me in one such IMAGINARY occurrence.

Last Night and Today

Last night there was a party at Alecia's. After work ended ( @ 10:00 ), I got ready and went. By the time I got there, everyone was tore up. I realized I didn't have enough vodka, so Erin (Lee, not Poe, though she was there; first time I'd seen her since high school, I think) and I went to get some more. When we got back, Amy was shutting things down.

Doing Aesthetics: The Blatant Contradiction

Art is personal expression. Do you keep a diary? Why do you keep it? Do you keep it so that it is up to the interpretation of others? No; You keep it to express yourself. If someone else reads it, and they get something good out of it that you didn't intend, that's okay. However, if someone brashly misinterprets you, you may get upset.
