late

What if I lost my direction?
What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection?
Maybe the worst is behind.

Anyone perfect must be lying,
Anything easy has its cost;
Anyone plain can be lovely,
Anyone loved can be lost.

Haven't updated in forever and half (however long that is). Been making mistakes in judgment as of late. Need to be more careful and think things through. Mistakes aren't work related, for those of you depending upon my Ninja Technical Lead skills and/or time travelling abilities. Speaking of... I took the DeLorean back in time earlier this evening and spent a few hours 30 years in the past (December 4th, 1970). Basically, the roads were terrible, the corner stores were scary, and money was dirty. Literally. Must have been some kind of soap issues back then. Everything at the grocery store was in an aerosol can. Very strange. Cop from 1970 started to chase after me on 610 so I went three minutes into the past to get a good head start on the dork. Remembered that I shouldn't do anything to disrupt the future timeline. Decided to drive somewhere where I knew nothing I would do would ever change the future (Pasadena). Ate dinner at McDonald's. Wondered if one less burger would change anything. Nah. Thought I'd look up George W. Bush while I was there and spent forever on the phone tracking him down. Eventually got him on the phone and tried to give him advice for the election in 2000. He hung up on me four times, but I thought I got my message across. Of course when I got back nothing had changed. Forgetful bastard.

Feel like I might be getting a sore throat. Counteracting the feeling with positive feelings and orange juice. Trying to give more and take less. Been helping out a blog celebrity with her web site. She is so distant and removed. I feel like she exists in a parallel universe and is not part of my own. As if she is lost somewhere in the ether. Unreachable. Distant. Out of phase. Out of touch. Ohio.
