the boring one

yeah, i know, daily life can be boring and worst of all, keeping this sort of daily ritual up like this only emphasizes how alone i am in daily life as nobody actually shares the life i record here and it is all too evident day after day... even as i am blessed by the occasional comment, distance and more, the real lives we live make the daily communication rather challenging, even if we wanted to...

this is electronic the real, e the real, life...

so today i sat back in my chair and enjoyed the respect i was getting from those who support my elevation to exalted grand pooba of the house and i was politely but coolly received by those who would seek to keep others down for their own purposes... and if you're out there, boss, you know it was not personal, just corporate politics and i had all of corporate on my side, so you did well to about break even (though i give you the win from my perspective in the salary negotiation)... i'll do my best to keep it in house and between us now that you've relinquished the power... unless corp reads this too, but heck one never knows (eerie robert klein sounds now)...

and the softball team was worse than usual... i was going to play with the work team, but the other team had two last minute call offs so i got begged over there... we pushed it into the sixth inning, but gave away too many runs on errors and lost again... sooner or later i will find a team of players that are not in their first year of playing softball... hopefully that'll be before my years catch up with me...

and then, here we are, tired and sleepy and yet, mind racing and wanting to stay awake... thank you meg & dia... music this week so far includes tom hanson, nick drake, and amy winehouse... and i reach into a random bag for a random handful of cds for the rest of the week and find a few really old elton john, linda ronstadt, jewel, lisa loeb, shawn colvin, jim croche, the the, virgin prunes, madonna, pink floyd, and led zeppelin... so what's up with you in the real?...
