a recent creativity-online e-newsletter featured the pink ribbon: eva and faye campaign (nsfw) that promotes breast cancer awareness. it’s a provocative ad, but it got me thinking… where are the provocative prostate cancer awareness posters?

i lie awake in bed with the echo from the poets ringing in my head… a vestige, a holdover, a hangover from last night’s feast of open mic poetry & song & music… there is no remedy to this condition… only a hunger for more…

a nice overcast evening for a run at carrier park… still muddy in places, the river is pretty high on the banks & it smells like a bog…

re: previous post: here are two screen shots illustrating the difference between the two equalizer settings.
note: using bose speakers to listen to itunes which further enhances the sound quality…
further: presently listening to WGBH All-Classicl HD web radio stream…

finally discovered my @twitter trouble thanks to their twitter tumble log: “you may be running into a problem with followers… seeing empty followers lists and zeroed follower counts.”
i’m becoming obsessed
recently i began tracking my fitness routine through fitness journal. there’s a food journal feature that has surprisingly captivated my attention. i caught myself this morning looking at everything i eat & counting the calories i just ate. coffee with agave nectar: 69 calories. Kashi cereal with whole milk: 422. last night’s yuengling: 128. yesterday’s cookie: 170.

is it metro to say i’d rather be outside in my shorts soaking up the afterglow of summer’s warm sun?
twitter, i no longer love you
since the end of august, when i lost all the tweeple i follow & all the tweeple following me, my twitter experience has been lacking; even tweetdeck hates me. when i open tweetdeck ever column is blank.
one thing i really like about local tweets is staying informed with local events and matters & even weather/traffic related tweets. most of my national and international news i read comes from news organization tweets from bbc, financial times, der spiegel, nyt, & others.
the biggest negatives of the twitterverse include completely banal tweets (about waking up, going to a job one hates, eating a lousy lunch, bluh-blah, bluh-blah, bluh-blah) & social media elitism. to this end, i am seriously considering declaring twitter bankruptcy & deleting my twitter account.
the internet is correct
checking my igoogle this morning, i find that it is 129 outside! another example that everything on the internet is correct.

enjoy labor day (brought to you by the american labor unions care of the first democrat elected after the war of northern aggression – president grover cleveland) by quizzing friends & family on the following topics: debt, revolving credit, compound interest, representative democracy, & centralized control. that should be some stimulating bbq conversation…

once again, i missed laaff… it used to be something i really looked forward to every year…
facebook, i don’t love you any more
@facebook lemmings are really starting to frost me…
‘please post this as your status for the rest of the day…’ so other people know that by posting something in your facebook status you are good enough, and smart enough, and doggone it, people will like you and want to be your facebook friend…

mac os snow leopard
the only draw back with macos snow leopard is that an application & a printer driver are not compatiable yet…
