“Well ya see, Norm, it’s like this… A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”
-Cliff Clavin, of Cheers

but I really like shopping in 3d stores.

as i walked along
the supposed golden path
i was confronted
by mysterious spectre
he pointed to the graveyard
over on yonder hill
I paused in cosmic reflection
confused on wondering
of how i came to die
hm…
i was confused
coz if i was dead
how and why did i die
and i composed myself
and decided i should face it

then i stood paralized
on the supposed golden path
and i was confronted
by powerful demon force
and there was the devil
and we spoke his words
flowed like glowing lava from the mouth of a volcano
and i said:
help me, lord!!
i found myself in some kinda hell
but i did not believe in heaven and hell

world in opposites kind of reality
but i gained control of myself
and decided to press on

as i walked along
the supposed golden path
I was trembling with fear
all the lions and the wizards yet to come
i seen in the distance
silver mountains rising high in the clouds
and a voice from above did whisper
some shining answer from the moon(?)

please forgive me
i never meant to hurt you

So.. I ‘ve got an iPhone and a chocolate touch ….the iPhone has a much larger screen.. The chocolate touch has better Audio quality and touch feedback on the screen … Where the iPhone has a cool completing the words for you. The touch feedback is really nice . You can actually feel the scrolling and when you click a key.. Nice features.

iPhone performsmuch much better on video. But the chocolate touch has much much better sound

Right now I am listening to my chocolate touch and writing to you lovely people on the iPhone !,,, which brings me to another comparison - wi-fi . Iphone’s got it.. Not supported by chocolate touch. Huge disappoinent there. . But then it sure does sound good . Looks like ill be carrying them both for awhile.

I look forward quite a bit to when I get off work. But then I get home and I am just exhausted and am thinking about getting to sleep so that I can get enough sleep to wake up on time to get back there to do it all again. That’s fine. I mean, it’s the way it goes. I just feel like it is a motivating factor to me - all day - the time I get to go home.. But then once I’m here, it’s all about getting back there.

It makes me wonder: What would it take to just be happy with the moment, rather than continually thinking of another time? To enjoy the time of being at work while there and then enjoy the time of being home while here? But then I do. I just feel like I spend a lot of time thinking about other, future times.. How long before I have to be back there? How long before I get to go home?

Meh.

The woman was a dream I had
Though rather hard to keep
For when my eyes were watching hers
They closed
And I was still asleep

For when my hand was holding hers
She whispered words and I awoke
And faintly bouncing around the room
The echo of whomever spoke
And I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room
The echo of whomever spoke

The place I saw was far beneath
The surface of the sea
My sight was poor
But I was sure
The sirens sang their songs for me
They dance above me as I sink
I see them through a crystal haze
And hear their sweet sound bouncing round
The never ending coral maze
The crystal haze
And hear them bouncing round the room
The never ending coral maze

Then before and now once more I’m bouncing round the room
That time and once again I’m bouncing around the room

Half a pound of heroin
Half a pound of treacle
That’s the way the story goes
Out comes the evil

Well, today a customer asked me about “a free alternative to Microsoft Office.” I of course responded with praise of OOo (openoffice.org) and went even further to write down Thunderbird and gIMP for them to recommend downloading.. But part of my job is selling software. So I should have said that MS Office was what they needed.. or should I have? I may have earned a customer for life. Always a possibility. What do you think? I am being paid to provide solutions to customers BY SELLING OUR PRODUCTS.

Is it more important to gain a few hundred bucks’ sale or a customer’s trust? What is worth more?

I just want you guys to know. I’m still listening.
