totally wired and the game is up
i'm under the table...
*
the one thing i have rediscovered during my days of wandering is that Amazon is still great. once again I have, on CD (i like the material form), a copy of Neil Finn's "One Nil."
I don't know why it took me so long to figure out that I can pretty much get anything I want now via internet. Who knew that those pictures from the Hubble in 1994 would carry my love of the internet through the idiocy of the late '90s, the continued idiocy of the '00s, and finally into this decade where I have no idea, let alone what to think of what we are doing with this.

I recently spent only $107 on a printer/scanner/everything. No shipping charges. It is the coolest thing ever, prints in seconds, hell, my landlord likes mine so much (since he uses it) that he want to replace the two printers he already has. It's even WiFi enabled. The only thing it lacks is a battery backup. Oddly, it was my landlord who mentioned this as being the next step. To be honest, the unit is lightweight and has the space for a battery...my email....

I'm still trying to find my point here. I've seen the success of my friends who did the right thing and went the IT route. I've also seen the success of my friends in the food biz. I'm not sure who came out ahead, cause both tend to have good taste in music.
*
I swore off the idiocy but here I am just playing back into it. Five years ago, nearly this week I was hiking through the Badlands with a girl I thought I loved. I even texted a friend in NYC about how I felt like the happiest person in the world, not because of drugs, alcohol, but because of place and being and how much I loved her. I didn't even want her along but it was a matter of "why not?" which is a question I will never fall into again (fingers crossed). I inevitably fell, and falling is hard.
I thought I learned my lesson but then I fell in with a girl in DC. I know that all thoughts fall to the idiocy of me falling for a girl because of circumstance. It was never that, and maybe that was my mistake. Not just taking total advantage of everything she offered. I did for a bit, but...my better senses got well...the better of me?
I'm still searching for a point. I started this four hours ago, inbetween I've watched a few episodes of NewsRadio, replayed a Neil Finn CD, a CD I burned a few weeks ago (that still isn't playing right, dammit), and i'm just tired.
*
Like I said earlier, I thought there was a point, but maybe there isn't one. Maybe it's just the point of saying something, putting it out there, who knows, maybe it will be read, maybe it's gone to the mists of time. Maybe it's just a matter of lowering yourself to the lowest common denominator and calling it a day.
*
Maybe it's listening to a good song. Maybe it's just sitting back. Perhaps it's letting my love burn hotter than a comets' tail. Being away from home. And realizing that being away from home is a way of life, and that home, while the demons always come, I find a way to fight them off.
It's driving me mad.
