I feel like Ali fighting Foreman. A country roots for me, shouting "Jack bomaye" over and over. I am bloodied and bruised. I look like I just took on Maximus and company in the coliseum, I am still standing, but the rope-a-dope is wearing on me
I am certain that if I saw film of myself I would see a crazed look in my eye to go with the muttering beneath my breath. If you hear me start talking about "my precious" be certain to run, don't walk. If it breathes and I can bring it down I will feast upon it's hide.
I am ready to run. I am ready to get in the car and drive to Vegas. From my house it should take about 4 hours. By noon tomorrow I'll either have lost it all or won enough to purchase a plane ticket to anywhere. I am restless, I am pacing like a caged animal in search of an exit.
All because this computer is fighting me. Every move I make it counters. Every step it has been two steps ahead of me, but I will win. I'll win because I am an ornery cuss who is incapable of recognizing that I am beaten. When I die they may wait a month to bury me just to be certain, because if I have to dig my way out of a coffin, I will be mad as hell. Not to mention in dire need of a shower, a cold drink and a couple slices of pizza.
It is time to go to my "happy place" and chill out. This can wait, but the rules of the blog require that I add something to this. I can be hyper-focused like a precision laser beam. That is, if I let myself I could spend the next 17 hours working on this. Sometimes that can be very useful, like when you have been buried alive and need to escape the crypt.
But when you are dealing with sensitive matters it is helpful to get some perspective and be to be careful in your actions. So, does anyone know where I can buy some perspective, I might as well buy it in bulk because you can never have too much.
Technical Difficulties
Have you ever seen the video of the guy who is so frustrated with his computer he throws it out the window. Stay tuned, I am about to set a record, a world record for distance a computer is thrown. Not sure if that is even a sentence and I don't care.
I don't have the patience or energy to explain why or what happened, so I'll use a juvenile description of a woman I chased for a long time. It started out as a sexual attraction and turned into a friendship that I thought could be and should be something more.
We got along so well, it was easy to spend time together. All day, a week, time didn't matter. And as mentioned the attraction was there so I tried to facilitate moving things to the next step.
Here is the summary of what happened:
Jack, you are a great guy and I really shouldn't risk our friendship.
Jack, you are a great kisser and I am not sure that I should be doing this.
Jack, let's be friends, you mean so much to me.
Jack, you are a great kisser and I am not sure that I should be doing this, but ok.
Jack, let's be friends, you mean so much to me.
Jack, you are a great kisser and I am not sure that I should be doing this, but ok, you can take my top off but nothing else.
Jack, let's be friends, you mean so much to me.
Jack, you are a great kisser and I am not sure that I should be doing this, but ok, you can take my top off and I have been thinking about something. What do you think about our sleeping together.
Warning! Idiot Alert ahead
Me: Why, I think that would be a fine idea and we should pursue things, but I have to tell you that I am not able to spend the night with you. Maybe we should put this off for a night or two and do it right.
For those of you who are wondering, I said this intentionally. I thought that I'd use a little reverse psychology and work things to my favor.
Warning! Graphic description ahead
Outcome: I didn't get laid that night or later on. But I did a fine job of torturing myself unnecessarily.
And now I find that I am wrestling with a computer tease. I want to upgrade some software. It allows me to download the file, begin the installation process and then just when I think that I have made it to the promised land my hopes are dashed with error codes that are meaningless to me.
I am back in Trig staring at my teacher and wondering what the hell it means and why I need to learn any of it. I don't plan on being an engineer, I don't need to understand how to build a skyscraper. And if I do need to do so, I know that I can do it because in kindergarten there was no child more proficient at building castles out of blocks.
I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick that football, I am so close and yet so far. I am Snoopy shaking my fist at the Red Baron. Fuck my Sopwith Camel, I am a 21st century dude, I will buy an F-15 and blow that little fucker out of the sky.
And in a few moments I will take this computer to task, justice will be mine. I can do this, but just in case I can't, may I suggest that you duck.

Thoughts to share with you
My son sings along with the songs and themes to his shows. He gets applause and is considered cute.
If I try it, people cover their ears and grimace. Why can't I get the same treatment as my son.
Sometimes my son will stop and dance to music in public. He gets applause and is considered cute.

Education
Someone needs to keep shouting and pushing for real improvements in education. Until we demand higher standards we will not see them. It is worth investing more money and improving education is something that we all must strive for.
A better educated society is good for everyone.

Cave looter pleads guilty to corpse abuse
I just love the title here. Guilty of looting and corpse abuse. What about necrophilia and breaking and entering. ;)
