when the tv is on, it is often in the background during a meal or while i am writing or working or browsing the net... when i glance up and it's a commercial, whatever was on often loses me and i look for another show that isn't being interrupted... when i am watching, a commercial is time to browse the other channels... a commercial of more than 30 seconds and i am likely gone... a commercial of more than a minute and i am long gone into whatever else i found... tv is so devoid of anything really interesting most of the time... though now and then i catch up with pop science and learn a thing or two... sports destroys itself with commercials and i seldom watch, though i may dvr at times and the end of a good game might get my attention if it is not too overloaded by commercials... it is not that i am a pure existentialist, but the pathetic consumerism in our culture is a cancer to a meaningful life and i try to avoid the addiction corporations and politicians would like us all to suffer from (so we don't see the corruption, cruelty, and destruction they do)... it's the modern opiate for the masses, buying stuff... i do watch some, but even the favs are background these days...
meanwhile, i think the linx need a new coach, i mean, not that i know anything about the current coach or the wbna except a few names and players i watched in college, but my first impression watching her childishly taunt a referee enough to get a stupid technical foul just as her team cut what was a huge lead to four points left a lasting poor taste in my mouth... watching her players, they don't look prepared well... whether this is a too early judgment based on the childish move that hurt her team or an accurate assessment based on the evidence, i feel sad for maya moore and the rest of her team... and that's my random wnba commentary for the moment... i'll add as a post script that the wnba needs to improve the stats they have on their website for the stat geeks among us, i mean, how else are we to get the number freaks more into the game?... market to everyone, that way maybe you can stop wearing coproate logos on your jerseys, i mean, what are you, nascar?...

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