waking before noon

this life of leisure is quite restful, though i feel a bit bloated today because i ate an after midnight dinner last night rich in fats (herring and sour cream)... oatmeal and flax seed for breakfast, whenever i get a little hungry (maybe an hour or two)... and get out to jog/walk at least a 2.5k today... cuz it is really getting late, alas...

and what is the date?... a day away from the... oh, this is sad... i look up solstice and find the first page is full of advertisements for sunglasses... i look up equinox and find a similar commercial override of information for cars and other stuff... i wonder if there is a search engine that has a no advertising filter... maybe an encyclopedia or wiki or dictionary... alas, the culture is so polluted with consumerism, we have forgotten the faces of our fathers, as roland would say...

though this curiosity might have some merit...

so scrolling down the page i find more pertinent information and of course i ask about the date because the mayan calendar ends tomorrow and there is all sorts of thoughts and prohesies and worries about the world ending (because without a human calendar keeping track of time, how can the world go on, right?... ahem)...

anyway, it would be nice to see some sort of enlightenment happen tomorrow at 11:12 (am) (or any time for that matter, really) and i shall set an alarm just to experience the moment cuz i am a very hopeful and curious being, ya know?...

wtf is mylife.com

and why are they posting my personal information on the web?... i search the web for my name (that is, one of my names, cuz i have many, especially in this online world) and and up comes this mylife dot come site and i search for other names i've been known by and find even more detailed profiles including where i've lived and friends i've known along the way... it is quite interesting and a bit unpleasant to find personal details on a site i have no access to... and then i signed up and they want money for access...

scam?... legal?... both answers are questionable...

so wtf is mylife.com and why are they posting my personal info on the web?....

i will let you know if i choose to explore further... they have a number to call for information, but i don't feel like spending time with a csr on the phone at the moment, especially not if they are just going to give me a sales pitch or worse, ask me for any personal information over the phone...

it is an amazingly greedy culture we live in these days... sad...
