Axiom or law?

Not that this will surprise you, Dear Reader, but I have discovered a horrifying effect of 'The Digital Age', or the availability of desired things:

I have no time. Specifically, I have no time to ingest, filter, cogitate, and incorporate all the music I have been exposed to through the internet. I remember listening to KISS on vinyl and eight-track tape, Van Halen on cassette, and Massive Attack on CD. Now, I have all those bands, and many more, on my computer. All the ones and zeros make music for me, and I have no time to give thoughtful attention to them. When I was at the zenith of my CD collecting, I knew 90% of the songs on the 800 CDs I owned. I guess it was the gradual influx of music, with a serendipitous randomization of 'air time' that I was familiar with the artists and songs.

No longer is this the case; I have over 200 GB of music, with more added each week. Friends recommend an artist; I stumble upon a song I have not heard in years; something on the radio catches my ear; collaborations lead to new branches and artists. This cannot be a novel phenomena to you, Dear Reader. You are much more savvy than me - why else would I be struggling with finding the time to devote attention and focus to these great acts?

I could use a good time machine.

Greets

At what point does personal need and security superceed personal loyalty? I am struggling to decide a path that keeps me happy, and pleases others.

Well, typing that out immediately showed me my problem: trying to please others.

Thanks, Dear Reader, for allowing me to discuss this with you. You were instrumental in my decision.

Trepidation, not Trepanation

I am a few hours away from my first invasive surgery. I don't count the removal of my wisdom teeth as invasive, but I am sure there may be a dentist who corrects my concept. I am having a procedure performed for an umbilical hernia. The surgeon stated in the pre-op consultation that the record is six and a half minutes for the procedure. I'd settle for ten minutes. Just felt like sharing my day with each of you.

Secrets To Know

The other day, I was speaking to a co-worker who has an upcoming ceremony wherein she will be entering into a contract with a man, which we once called a wedding. During the course of the conversation, I bestowed upon her one of my gifts of human observation. I am going to impart this gem to you, Dear Reader, because you have taken the time to find this wisdom.

If you are considering a long-term commitment with another human being, sneak into their bedroom at some time when the potential life mate will not be home. Without disturbing the room, remove a pillow from the bed, and remove the pillowcase. Take the naked pillow, and rotate it. Observe the pillow's color, condition, and cleanliness. To be blunt, you are looking specifically for those tell-tale signs of a secret you have not been told:

Sleep drool.

This is one of those things that people keep hidden from those in their life, for who would willingly reveal that they emit quantities of saliva as they sleep? Go ahead and check your pillow; it can be quite the revelation ...

Toe in first ...
