I've got this hunger that I can't seem to get rid of. I mean physically hungry... get your minds out of the gutter, please.
Meat loaf and ... damn, what are those green things that Mom gave me when I was in Oklahoma? You have to cut them on the day that they sprout, but they're not brussels sprouts... they're... asparagus! That's what they are! And they're delicious, too.
And Oreos, too. And several glasses of milk. You'd think that I've been starving myself or something here.
Anyway, I accomplished a lot today. I found out again, and the hard way, again, how little I know about computers.
I got up early this morning, about 06:00, and scanned the paper before I checked my email. Then, I decided, it was time.
I pulled the plug on my Cable Modem out of the 450 WIN98 machine and plugged it into the Linus box.
And it worked. Except.
The network wouldn't work. And I couldn't even get the other Linux box to work with it. And I worked ALL DAY LONG on the damned thing.
So, about 20:30 I was sick of it, and I pulled the plug out of the Linux box and hooked it back up to the WIN98 machine, just knowing that *IT* wasn't going to work now... but it did. So here I am.
Sitting here all day has made me tired, too. And on top of all that, I've been thinking all day about an email that I got from a reader.
He said that I wasn't as funny and as sarcastic as I used to be.
And I think that he's right, and I'm sad about that. And I really don't want to say what I'm going to say next, but I just have to anyway...
It's Mom's fault.
Yep, it is, and she can't deny it.
There are just some things that you don't say around your mother, and you never grow out of it... or at least, I haven't.
And that's not bad, necessarily... there are a lot of things that mothers don't want to know about their little boys, I'm sure...
But, as a content provider of no little consequence, I just can't continue to let my readers down. Dammit, they expect funny and sarcastic, they'll damn well GET funny and sarcastic!
Well, occasionally, anyway.
But I won't do it to spite my mother... I'll do it because I love her, and I know that she expects me to be all that I can beeeeee..... and I don't want to let her down either.
However, there are times when I feel neither funny nor sarcastic, and this is one of those times. I'm hungry and tired, so I think that I'll just go to bed, and leave the humor for another day.
