weirdly awake

any other day the body might be begging for more sleep at 9:30am and yet today i just rolled out of bed and went to the bathroom and had no interest in returning to bed... maybe cuz i knew i was free to do as i please instead of going to work or maybe cuz i fell asleep early last night and stayed asleep though i am pretty sure i watched a late night showing of haven which was after midnight so it's not as if i got a ton of sleep but still here i am and i've been doing my web ritual (it has become something of a ritual after all) checking out the tabs i have open from yesterday (more than two dozen) and closing some and opening others and watching videos and listening to music and reading posts and comments and so on and so forth and adding some sites i saw to sites i saw and i haven't even gotten to facebook or twitter or blogspot yet (i did spend some time on tumblr though...

so good morning, i guess :)

Hey tһere are using Wordpress fоr your site platform?
Ӏ'm new to the blog worⅼd but І'm trying to get started and ѕet up my օwn. Do you need
any coding expertise to makе your own blog?

Any help ԝould ƅе ɡreatly appreciated!

Coding is for the format, mostly, for the overall look and the format of the words. You don't need it if you just want to type or upload if you use a blog platform. I use google's blogger.com, aka blogspot.com. It's simple and allows lots of coding, but no coding is needed at all. You choose the layout from a bunch of choices, twyp into a box, and press a button and poof, there's your blog. There are buttons to insert links, pictures, videos, and more. Click on "New Entry" and add to it as often as you like. I have a wordpress platform on my website, but I don't use it primarily out of laziness and convenience. Don't have time to learn how to use it. I have a tumblr I don't use much and blogs on other platforms, but most of my many blogs http://rhetroric.blogspot.com/2011/06/blogs-and-other-strangers.html are here at blogger/blogspot, so I can access them and switch between them faster and easier. Comments could have more options, but I'm comfortable here. Format is more important if you are trying to sell something, build an audience. Me, I write for myself and anybody who cares to read. Hope this helps and you have fun blogging.

You are too generous with your praise. I accept though, with much appreciation.

Catch up (and know more)

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
