No need to panic
Every pitcher blows games
Joba will bounce back

So I discovered http://windowseat.ca/viscosity/ at webware.com. It's a pretty cool site to create fractal like images (hi-quality), it's easy to use, which are immediately posted on its site. I created this one my first time around:
I call it "ByBy Birdie". I wasn't sure what I was doing but I was happy with the result and since I'm usually horrible at this sort of thing, I'm sure the easiness of the website played a huge part in how it came out.
Like I said, it's worth a look...

These days it seems it's getting increasingly hard for some people to tell.
Me, I'm starting to find it scary. Really scary. It's the OprahBritneyLohanization of the Presidency. Some people seem to be choosing based on how good it makes them feel personally and not on whether the person actually knows how to govern the most powerful country on Earth. Clinton I and Bush II seemed to be selected based on the same criteria. Could Abe Lincoln be elected dog catcher, let alone President, in the present day? How about John Adams? Or Millard Fillmore? Well, okay, not Fillmore.
P.S. If you still haven't quessed the answer, I recommend this site - a clever response to a very real phenomenon.

I liked their layout so I started a WordPress "Idle Mendacity" blog. It's basically the same as this one. Double the blogs, double the fun, I guess.

I can't say I've been very busy these last several months (July went past in a blur) but I have been trying to work on several projects before I return to school/work next week:
*For one thing this is the end of this part of my college career (hopefully). Time to write my Master's Thesis and get the hell out after 8 years plus of university life. I'm sure I'll get my Ph.D one of these days if the circumstances allow but for now I've had enough.
*When the semester starts I'll also be TEACHING a college class for the first time. Me a college lecturer, imagine that. It'll be an introductory English 1 class probably populated with freshmen students but I'm very excited about it. It is certainly not something I ever saw myself doing when I dropped out of public school as a teenager.
*I also applied for a passport for the first time. It hasn't arrived in time for me to use before my vacation is over but I'm looking forward to putting it to use at my first opportunity. Perhaps an extended stay in Rome or London or Ireland or even Canada (passports are a must to go there now).
*So I've been doing a lot of sleeping and reading and studying (along with several shopping sprees for new clothes – something I haven't treated myself to in years) and am more than ready to put my brain back to work (and to get back to my blog as well)

Growing like a child
Learning as it goes along
This America
Out of one many
Experiment in freedom
Your America
Faults go with triumphs
Perfect in imperfections
My America
For we the people
Life, liberty, happiness
Our America
