Ramblings of Silver Blue

“Change My Mind” as performed by The Motels I bet you’d guess where I was some time ago and I bet that you really didn’t know I don’t need you, I don’t want you. But I might change my mind. Now we could take off for Paris on a cruise… you and me could make [...]

It’s been a slow saturday. The migraine has knocked me in the head for most of the day. I did, however, manage to get the audioblogging portion somewhat running. Roxette Bunny™ left a quick hello, but haven’t felt much like leaving anything else. I wish I knew what was bringing on these damn things — [...]

from her song “A Thousand Beautiful Things”: “That’s All I Have to Say.” Farewell.

I almost said screw it and went out partying this evening. I mean, why not, right? I’m free, white and single. Not that any of those things matter in the party world, but… have I reached a point in my life where a night of hedonistic overindulgence is looked on (by myself) with scorn? WTF? [...]

I’ll admit, I don’t know squat about Anime. But here is something called El Hazard. Sarah Brightman’s “Once In A Lifetime” Cuando anochezca Te esperare Quiero volverte loco esta noche Con la luna llena Te esperare Hoy moriras entre mis brazos Nunca soñaste algo igual Let me dive in To pools of sin Wet black [...]

“Spring” performed by Clay Hart In a broken down apartment house lay a woman in labor. She said,”By the grace of God I’ll have this child And the help of a neighbor.” At six o’clock the sun was rising up upon the world. At seven thirty five the neighbor smiled and said, “you got a [...]

“Only The Fool Survives” – Performed by Donna Summer and Mickey Thomas (of Starship) What went wrong I was so sure that love had led me to your door was it a dream, nothing more Inside my head I keep hearing all the tender words we said who were they for? We are strong We [...]

Betrayed (Tennant/Lowe) Performed by Pet Shop Boys Did you ever feel betrayed by someone in your life? Did you ever give your trust and have it sold? For the sake of cheap expedience I now experience feeling betrayed by you I woke at five this morning with you on my mind replaying conversations in my [...]

Other than suffering from a massive migraine, there have been other reasons for me not posting. I really don’t want to go into detail; there are some things in my life I feel the need to keep under wraps, no matter how open I may seem on the blog. I was going to go to [...]

Jealousy (Tennant/Lowe) Performed by Pet Shop Boys At dead of night when strangers roam the streets in search of anyone who’ll take them home I lie alone, the clock strikes three and anyone who wanted to could contact me At dead of night ’til break of day endless thoughts and questions keep me awake It’s [...]

I’ve been emailing back and forth (off and on) with Anita since March of this year about dying establishments (Malls, strip shopping centres, etc). She grew up in the area and moved away; I moved to the area in 1980 and have stayed put. Anyway, both of us have been dissatisfied with the deadmalls.com project, [...]

I understand a few of my readers don’t share my like for RealAudio, calling it the “dark beast”. Oh well; it’s the easiest way for me to (1) not get busted for copyright infringement when I want to share what’s blasting out of my PC and (2) it streams a lot better than QuickTime because [...]

[San Francisco Mayor Gavin] Newsom depicted the opposition from business interests who do not believe a municipality should offer its residence Internet access in the most drastic of terms, saying, “The fight over gay marriage was nothing compared to this.” Ephraim Schwartz, Tech Watch, Aug. 16, 2005 Remember: Thou Shalt Not Broadband.

Mother Teresa died and went to heaven. God greeted her at the Pearly Gates. “Be thou hungry, Mother Teresa?” asked God. “I could eat,” Mother Teresa replied. So God opened a can of tuna and reached for a chunk of rye bread and they began to share it. While eating this humble meal, Mother Teresa [...]

If you’re online, and a friend of yorus is online, and you just want to inquire as to how they are doing, when is it appropriate to IM them? I’ve gotten so hung up in using IM at work that I am severely lacking in the etiquette department here. Some help would be nice.

Got back from letting the Grand Dame have her way with my hair. I can honestly say I’ve never had it this short in my life. It’s refreshing, however, so we’ll see if I like it enough to keep it this way. Seems that I’m having my midlife crisis in my mid-30s. LOL. Last year [...]

Seems Herr Robertson has gotten his ass in the sling again, and maybe this time the meds are kicking in. CNN reports: Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson today apologized for calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. “Is it right to call for assassination? No, and I apologize for that statement,” he said in [...]

Holy Water, Batman. This is just too scary for words. (Just what IS that on his head? A mutant sheep?)

1. Look, Pat Robertson’s doing the flip-flop yet again! We misunderstood him when he said “we need to take this guy out.” Robertson replied, “I didn’t say assassination. I said our, uh, our special forces should quote, take him out. And take him out can be a lot, a number of things, including kidnapping. There [...]

By DEBBIE MESSINA, The Virginian-Pilot © August 23, 2005 | Last updated 6:11 PM Aug. 23 NORFOLK — Anticipating reuben and fried oyster sandwiches, today’s lunch crowd at Uncle Louie’s restaurant was served up something it never expected – locked doors. With no warning, the longtime Wards Corner institution served its last meals Monday. On [...]

Why do people insist on attempting to blow smoke up people’s bums? Life ain’t sunshine, lollipops & rainbows. There’s hardly enough money to stay afloat, and the amounts of money you’re attempting to use to “lure” new hires in is plainly obscene. Especially when you support staff is making less than 1/5 of the new [...]

Many of you “Old Folks” (those over 50 or hovering over 50) are quite confused about how you should present yourselves. You’re unsure about the kind of image you are projecting and whether or not you are correct as you try to be nice and conform to the fashions that the designers in NYC, California, [...]

Seems the AP reported that Marion “Pat” Robertson may also be on “shake”y grounds: It’s the shake that’s causing quite a stir. An evangelical media watchdog group claims Pat Robertson is abusing his nonprofit status to market an “age-defying” diet drink. For years, Robertson has been touting the shake on his Christian Broadcasting Network and [...]

Is… “Thou Shalt Not Kill”, right? Maybe good ol’ Pat needs to go back to Remedial Bible School. After all, how can you claim to be spreading the “word of God” if you only pick and choose what you wish to promote? (CNN) — Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson has called for the United States [...]
