jmcgready’s misc universe

(2005/09/10)

It’s sat. My shoulder’s been hurting the last few days - a nagging pain
that won’t go away…

The iPod is refusing to hold a charge, guess I’ll have to reset it…..

I just want to survive today, no other nobler aspirations - I’m tired,
but I’ll make it…

I want to say that I’m ok that everything’s fine….

I want to get beyond this.

I want to deal from a position of stength…

I want to be able to take it or leave it…

I’m'd bryan for the details of the mb meeting wed. - seemed like a lot
of blue sky overview…

Talked of getting more writers in, although he seemed to want to do the
ediifce rewrite solo…

I’ll probably send a few rewrites his way anyway, he can either use ‘
em or trash ‘em - either way I’ve done what I can….

Don’t feel much like writing today, but that’s what separates the pros
from the dilletantes….

Got to work and was behind the register again until 3:45pm. When I went
to the bathroom, I realized that I had a rather large rip in my pants.
It was easily enough hidden, but it did make me self-conscious for the
rest of the day….

It’s now 10:20pm and I’m on my way home
Riding the subway…. Trying not to spill a cup of unsweetened iced tea
I have in my briefcase….

Just finished the iced tea -
no more problem with that…..

I’m sitting on the 20 bus for the last leg
Of the trip and I’m seeing @ 5 other people
On cell phones - like they’re all someplace
Else…. Reminds me of william gibson’s definition of cyberspace as
“The place you are when you’re on the phone”

It seems that most of us aren’t here,
And when we have to be here, we
Invent all kinds of ways for us to both
Be here and not be here, hence our penchant
For relativism. Relativism lets us claim to be here and not be here and
dismiss any
“A vs. Not-A” attempts at reality checking
As “intolerance”.
