outrageous, meet indifference

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Tommy over at Sticks of Fire pointed out the falling standards of Florida’s education system a few weeks back.  I’m not going to rehash it or add to it (as I already did in the comments of said thread).  It’s the responses that have me a little put off.
When snark and sarcasm are employed on [...]

What I’ve learned

Monday, July 21st, 2008

You know, I wanted to write a long post about moving on from this ill-communication SNAFU that’s led to me drawing myself into a shell and feeling like someone died. Someone was snuffed out, and the person holding the gun simply said “oops” after the body hit the floor, hid it, and then announced [...]

It tells a tale

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

It was a couple of years ago that I was wondering just what Michael Stipe was singing about in the R.E.M. classic “Losing my Religion”. For the prudes or the ultra-religious, the title might suggest the song is about a conflict in faith of the Divine. It’s a crisis of faith, indeed, but [...]

View to a mood

Monday, July 14th, 2008

I haven’t blogged in a while as I have been busy with other faccets of my life…  From politics to just internet de3ign and maintenance, I’ve been a busy little bee.
But due to recent circumstances — the other shoe falling — I’m back for the moment and maybe longer.

Meanwhile I hope everythign turns out ok for long time friends [...]

Why is that stadium in St. Pete anyway?

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

One of the hot topics around the Tampa Bay metro region right now is the Tampa Bay Rays proposed stadium in St. Petersburg, Florida. I’m not going to bother getting into the arguments but after reading a few knee-jerk reactions and misinformation about the plans… Well, I felt it was important that people [...]

SMS / TXT — for lack of context, I am done with it

Monday, May 5th, 2008

The last post — the video — got me thinking to some of my own endeavors with SMS / TXT messages over the years. I’ve spent hours on multitudes of people waiting for responses, hanging in limbo, hitting highs and lows over anagrams, or perhaps misinterpreting things that are being said or not getting [...]

Txtign ur way 2 <3

This would be funny if some of it weren’t so true:

I’m doing something wrong, aren’t I?

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

So I’m on Pandora — I have been here a few times in the past trying to find similar music to what I love as a way to introduce myself to new music.
The problem is more times than not I get introduced to stuff that doesn’t sound at all similar to what qualities I like [...]

In light of the lack of attention on the subject

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Here is a headline that is missing from the media around the state of Florida:
Low Pants Controversey Grips Florida — Locals plead Tallahassee for Action
(maybe now the legislature realizes how ridiculous their attention waste of time on the matter looks.
