Life is the opposite of entropy?

We make a decision. Think or don’t think. Do or don’t do.
The more we think, the more we do, the stronger we get, the better we get, the better off the races of Terra are.
*hugs* Sorry I haven’t been reading journals lately.. I’ve been busy with other things.
Off to bank now. Thank you, Tony, for paying your debt in full!
we need a constitutional convention.. using open source techniques.
WHo’s with me?
I donated to Unicef. They seem to have their head in the right place, or so a quick scan would suggest.
I used to run down people for using macs.. ataris.. windows.. whatever platform I wasn’t using.
Since then, I’ve used all those things and found them good. I think whatever computer tool you’re using.. if it’s doing what you want it to, it’s a good one. If it’s limiting you, reach for a better tool.
I used to hate XP, because it checked in with microsoft. Now, I feel if you want to use XP, use it. If you understand the limits and dangers, and are willing to trust microsoft, feel free. I plan on getting a XP machine myself, to add to my stable.. I feel like I can’t be a good computer geek and not try out every platform/arch and every language and every OS as it comes my way.. and I feel like refusing to see/learn a new one is the path towards becoming old and obsolete.
Not learning new things.. that is my real enemy. Fear of new and unknown experiences is not good for me. Sheer wants to continue to dance not only on the dancefloor, but at the keyboard. (And in the bedroom! ;-))
So, I like to try new things, but I like to continue to use the old ones as well. Especially when they are good. ANd I want to meet new people.. but I want very much to keep touch with the many wonderful people I’ve already met.
Sooner or later I will run out of time. Until then, I will live.
I love you, Kayti! (just in case you’re reading)
My headaches seem to be mostly gone, or at least quite managable.. my back and neck seem to be 100% operational.. or at least, I was able to dance for a couple of hours tonight with no complaints. I think I’m nearly healed from car wreck, and everything is coming up functional. Hopefully
have been fought over God, and the nature thereof, than any other subject.
Why?
Comments appriciated.
I’ve been majorly confused of late. I’ll write more later.. and transcribe some very odd recordings that I’ve made on my PDA..
I’m okay. I think I’m okay. Um.
The world is a beautiful and complex place. I think I might be travelling across various worldlines. I haven’t learned to control it yet, and I’m afraid I’ll get lost.. but..
I am dating Kayti. Well, insofar as one can date from 1100 miles (or however far Seattle and Denver are..) away.
[from Cori] In your journal, post the following questions and then answer them…
1. If you could meet any musical superstar who would it be and why?
Do you know, I’m really not sure. I’d love to meet Fat Boy Slim, because he’s so unassuming and cool – I’d love to meet David Gilmour, because, well, he’s a god. I’d love to meet Seal, because he’s likewise a god. I’d love to meet the Indigo Girls again, because they’re so indirectly wise.
2. If you could only save 1 item from your home/life excluding pets, what would it be?
Gateway, the computer which has all my backups and whatnot on its raid array
3. What was your favorite toy while growing up?
I don’t know that I had one. I would go in phases.. a toy would amuse me for a few weeks, and then I’d move on.
4. If you had to dress in one color for the rest of your life, what color would it be?
Blue
5. What was your least favorite subject in school?
School.
6. If you could be great at any sport, what would it be?
Dancing
7. If you could have any 1 super power, what would it be and why?
The ability to grant other people’s wishes, because this would indirectly allow me to make fascinating and useful and good changes in the world.
8. How many cds or mp3s are in your current collection? (an estimate is ok)
cds: ~300
mp3s: ~2000
9. What year was your favorite birthday? (ie. “my 19th birthday”)
Not sure. Probably the year P. threw me a suprise party, or maybe the year I drove to san fran for a play Mani was doing.
10. If you could swap places with any rich/famous person, who would it be and why?
Bill Gates.. then I could finally fix that *&#( windows OS
1) That I’ve been gifted with the love of three wonderful women (well, now two women and one man, but, um… originally..) who have taught me lots of things about the world, and led me to many moments of happiness, and given me many wonderful memories. Thanks,
2) That I’ve found a couple of online net communities that really do feel like homes to me, Lambda and Brigandine.

4) That I’ve gotten a chance to hang out with my family, and learn more about where I came from and what they are.
5) That I’ve been able to acquire skills to play the music that I love, and I’ve found talented and driven individuals to play it with me.

8) That I’m honored to have skilled computer geeks like
