Stones posting reply

On Yahoo, a tired piece knocking the Stones and implying Jagger's larynghitis means they 're old farts. The usual gang od idiots piped in saying they're washed up, etc. My response:

I saw the Stones live recently, and though you can see their ages in their faces, they did not move, sound, or play like old men. In fact, they were incredible. If only the album were as good. No, they don't write like they used to- but they still rock. The author of this article does not have the qualifications to be a writer unless it's for some high school's newletter, and the snots who critique this group mostly on the basis of their age apparently have nothing better to do- there is no credibility, insight, or substance going on here. Hope y'all die before you get old- it's not gonna be a pretty sight.

Death

I added the following entry to "Tera Talks" website. Apparently, she is running out of time, and believes she will soon "cease to exist," nothing more:

I may never have the satisfaction of "knowing," because for me- seeing is Believing. Blind Faith was a musical group. Then again, from what I can see- the world is flat. And lately, it looks like hell. But it's not flat. I know nothing. We see how much the world is a better place because of those who just Know 72 virgins are waiting for them.. No, I don't think we're Supposed to know. I'd like to think we're here for a reason (to Be Here Now). Deep down, though- I sometimes feel something (Real? Or programming?) I can't quite grasp- like the concept of infinity. Which exists. Or God.

Small Stuff

A quickie before I go to bed. trying to calm down- "I trust it'll all work out" said McGuinn...

Worse case scenario- at work, they get rid of Macs, get a jerk to step on my toes instead of help-

I just go thru the motions, take the money and run- to another job, as soon as possible.

A change may do me good...

Regarding condo, the hell with it at some point- I sell, and we all live happily ever after.

There are worse things to worry about- be cool, Me- just Be Cool..

Rose

it was 14 years ago today I last saw my father. Back then, I was getting my hair cut at Hair2000
in Latham, by Rose- even when I was living in Jersey I'd come up here to get my hair cut.

Last few times she seemed distracted, didn't do such a great job, so my last two haircuts were in
Delmar. Wasn't crazy about the last one, so today I called for an appointment with Rose-
was told she wasn't in but would be working till the 31st, when she retires.

Why that upset me as much as it did I'm not sure- maybe 'cause it's Dec. 22.
She's too young to retire! So am I- but sometimes I wish I could....

Maybe I'm crazy, but I couldn't bear to schedule a haircut with Rose and then have to say
goodbye. Even though I'd like to wish her well, and make sure everything's OK-
last I saw her she told me her daughter was getting married...

But it feels like another death, so I went to a different barber in Delmar-
guy did a decent job. I didn't catch his name..

Anniversary again

It's the anniversary again. Interesting- once again I actually am sick (like last year) and will be calling in tomorrow. Funny how the mind/body works. Feel impact more than usual, or so it seems.

I've been feeling overwhelmed anyway- camel's straw?......

 

 

health

Colonoscopy today. Colitis is bad again, can't cut back on prednisone, doc keeps asking me if my insurance will cover dreaded Remicaide... tired, wiped out, depressed- in no mood to rock and roll tomorrow with band. Maybe I should go to sleep immediately. I need rest.

Bush's speech

I actually felt embarrassed at first. he's so lame. Seemed really on the defensive, and clueless. Analysts didn't seem to pick up on this. I felt the same way I did hearing him during the Gore debates- this guy is in over his head. I'm tired of it all. I hate the enemy far more than I could ever hate the bad politicians.

Can't wait to try to vote him out, though. There's a lot of other ugly stuff going on, too.
