So, I have to wonder if anybody actually reads this thing. Am I posting stuff on this blog for the entertainment of others or solely for my own selfish fulfillment? What does it really matter though? Whether I write for my own gratification or for the enjoyment of others, I will continue.
Lately a fellow blogger friend of mine has been posting a lot of conspiracy theory stuff particularly regarding the whole 9/11 episode. Check them out here. I have to say, I found many of the ideas he brings to light interesting, but I don't think that I buy into the whole inside job thing. I don't believe that our own government is responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center. Don't get me wrong though, I am not saying that I do not think that our government is corrupt. I think there is plenty of corruption in our government. However, I do not believe that they would go as far as to kill so many US citizens to fulfill some sinister motive. I definitely believe that there is corruption in the FDA, particularly with the pharmaceutical companies. And there is corruption between the government and the oil companies. Perhaps I will have to explore those avenues in future posts, I will do some research and make a post devoted to one of those subjects. In fact, I am inspired, I need to start posting about some subjects that I am passionate about; like the problems with western medicine, the corruption and greed of the pharmaceutical companies, and of course computers.
But, in the meantime, here is another poem from my old book of poetry. I think that this is one of my personal favorites.
Wisdoms Decayed
Icy fingers grope,
Tearing at frustration.
Wandering
Through the never ending abyss,
Of misery and pain.
Memories surface;
Haunting,
Hating.
Love one existing,
Extinct in its greed.
Trust is foolish.
Look what it got me!
Burning photographs;
Death, by fire.

The Next Installment
Here is another poem that I wrote back in 1997.
Insisting
Panic sets in,
Panic's begun.
Inner soul thought,
Astonishing movement.
A handful of Lust.
A mouthful of lies.
Choke on these words:
Hate!
Fear!
Love!

A Poet And He Didn't Even Know It!
I was recently going through some boxes and a came across an old journal that I used to write poetry in; this stuff is from 1995-97. I decided that I would share a few of them with you here on my blog. Unfortunately I haven't written any poetry since this time period.
Red No. 3 1/2
Face in face.
Weak soul,
Neglected in your ignorance.
Kill my pain.
Painicide!
A cracked view.
A cracked mirror.
My cracked skull,
And your cracked soul.

Chairman of the Hood
This commercial is great! Very funny! This is me on my way to a business meeting. In case anybody is wondering, my wife says that I would be the guy in the back seat.

Some People Don't Get It
I have recently been shopping the internet for a stick of RAM for my Thinkpad T43. I am sure most of you are well aware that in the computer market there are several different manufactures to choose from when making a purchase. When I am trying to decide what is going to be the best product for my buck I like to read the reviews of other people who have purchased and used the product. They usually list what they liked about the product and if there are any possible cons. In my hunt for a stick of RAM I came across this review on NewEgg:
Pros: great stuff
Cons: too hard to open, REQUIRE sisscor
Reviewed By: N/A, 1/25/2006 9:34:53 AM
This reviewer reports that his/her technical understanding of this type of product is somewhat high and has owned this product between 1 month to 1 year.
Notice the cons, it was too hard to open and required the use of scissors? Who Friggin' cares? I don't want to know about how the package was too tough for your stubby digits to open, therefore, you were forced to open the drawer and remove those heavy pair of scissors in order to open your package, god forbid. I want to know about the product. Did it run okay? Any errors? Any querks or bugs? Tell me about those things not the stupid package. Did the package protect the RAM during shipping? Then it fullfilled its purpose. If the package did not fullfill its purpose, that may be a justifiable concern.
When I read a review I want it to be about the product, not personal issues regarding the product that have nothing to do with quality.

Happy Anniversary!
Yesterday was our 7th Wedding Anniversary, my wife's and mine, that is. It is interesting to look back over the last seven years and realize how much we and our lives have changed. We have grown and matured together and gained knowledge we didn't know existed. It was been a wonderful seven years and I look forward to seven more.
