catching the last half hour of the green mile while i first read when it was released in serial form once a month (or was it once a week?) and i'd head to the library looking for the next installment as only stephen king's genius could bring back and as it ended i said to myself that i was in the mood for a movie, a mood i have not been in for a while, and so i scrolled a bit and look what i found that just started less than ten minutes ago... the princess bride... unfortunately, it's commercial tv, worse, cmt which rambles prolonging the commercial breaks to agonizing length and almost makes me want to switch stations and who knows, i might before long because this first commercial break is enough to turn me off to tv period...
and it's not even wide-screen or hd and has twelve words advertising shows on the right side of the screen and banner ads on the right side of the screen and i pay for this cable service so it's not free tv... pathetic... and five minutes in, i turn it off... tv can ruin even my favorite movie...

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 ... ... ... ...
