In my preoccupation with mundane things such as code readers, washing machines and Dan Rather, I seem to have missed that Sept 24 was V-Day. The much anticipated and theived album by U2 has had it's first single released (along with an updated U2.com). The ... umm ... title is How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb and you check out the countdown till it's release. Hmm ... that release is pretty close to ... (hint hint).

And my dont-know-how-to-blog brother (no not that one) has put up some *cough* pirated *cough* material over at his xanga. Dang, beat me to the punch.

I'm fascinated by this website hosting Sarah Mclachlan's video for the song: World on Fire off of her latest CD Afterglow. Watch it, then read on.

Reminds me of the Scorpion's Wind of Change and regardless of the music it really makes you think. But then of course, with our short attention span I'm sure people will feel that momentary emotion and then quickly forget as we resume our lives. Waiting for the next thing that moves us into thinking ... but not acting.

I was tempted to insert some lyrics but then I wondered what that would accomplish. I mean writing some random blog entry is just about as passive as the rest of society.

I'm beyond disgusted at this turn of events. I heard it a day or so ago, but never expected it to end so poorly.

A group of 40 children broke out of the school. Terrorists started firing at them, and armed bystanders in turn shot at the hostage-takers, he said. The terrorists responded by detonating a bomb that partly destroyed the roof of the school.

Shoot at kids? So what do we hold sacred?

Don't reply to this post. Just use my contact link on the side.

Well, no serious entries lately. I guess I've been busy, or rather putting some serious time "investment" into myself. What does that mean exactly? Please ask. ... Anyways, I'm on a definite up swing. I don't want to jinx it, but then, I seriously doubt that's possible. Simply because I don't feel like it's luck entirely, more like comeupance.

Anyways, of the many things I dabble with or get myself involved with, one of them was bound to get a little more attention than the others. So now what do I do with all the other things I started? I guess this is a test of priorities. So maybe after a reassessment of my priorities, some sort of direction may evolve. Or maybe I'll see something I missed before.

Don't you just love my ambiguity? Well all I can say is that there is a little less uncertainty in my life.
