Interview with God
I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.
“If you have the time” I said.
God smiled.
“My time is eternity.”
What questions do you have in mind for me?”
“What surprises you most about humankind?...”
God answered...
“That they get bored with childhood. They rush to grow up and then long to be children again.
“That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health.
“That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.
"That they live as if they will never die, and die as if they had never lived.”
God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...
“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”
God replied with a smile.
“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is let themselves be loved.
“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.
“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.
“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and it takes many years to heal them.
“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.
“To learn that there are persons who love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings.
“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.
“To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others. But that they must forgive themselves.
“And to learn that I am here always.”
[Nick Drake: Pink Moon]

I'm in the Mac cluster, and I'm listening to Gene on my brand-spankin' new MP3/CD player. Oh, the postal service has been nice to me lately, no? There are all sorts of wonderful things about it, but the short version is that it plays CDs full of MP3s (even CD-RWs!) besides playing normal CDs. It can play a CD for over 30 hours on two AAs, and when it's playing MP3s, it will spin up the disc to pull the song into memory, and stop the disc when it's done, playing the song out of RAM to save battery power. THAT is some cool shit. It can even read the ID3 tag from the MP3 to tell you the title, artist, and album of the song playing. Go on... be jealous now, because my spending money is all gone. (By the way, for those who know I name everything, its name is "Sony.")

"Ok, SONY? That is wacked. But I love you."
"I LOVE Sony audio products. It's all I buy."
"Uh huh. I didn't name my car "Intrepid." YOU know what I mean by wacked. But I love you."

So my notebook arrived today. I called Compaq, and they said I had to buy the Windows XP license that came with it. Bummer.
So, I've decided to name her "Lauren". My desktop is named Kenickie, so I thought it an appropriate name for my notebook. Oh, she's nice, though.

"Bunnybear, something is wrong with my VAIO."
"Yeah, I'll tell you what's wrong with it... it's bein' taken to school by my m4d b00k!"
"Ok, ok, if you're gonna get all mouthy, I'm not gonna tell somebody new tomorrow that you are the sunshine in my little world. I tell somebody new that every single day, but nope, not tomorrow, because I don't like your 'tude. You still are, though."

A few pics I've taken over the last couple days:
- My workstation
- My desk here at SU. Notice the little armor dude to the lower left, Train, Our Lady Peace, and EMPLOYEES ONLY signs on the monitor, and my plant, Dana, behind the chinese-takeout-box-turned-pencil holder.
- Areanna and Blake
- Blake's girlfriend from New York stopped by for a week. I went to bed at 5am Sunday morning after cleaning 3000+ viral files from her notebook. (And I still made it to church the following morning with Miti.)
- Drew's DVDs
- Behind Blake in the last photo is the case full of Andrew's (other roommate) DVD's. All of them (save the bottom row) are anime.
- Joe
- Joe, the RA.
- Kate
- Kate, aka Kat Silver.

Comments:
"Hey Travis,
Thanks again for getting rid of my virus. LOL..You kept saying Hunny you are going to lose a lot of files. Don't yell at me if you lose something you don't want to. It was funny. And you made me push the button to delete the files. That was hilarious. Thanks for that though if you weren't there i would have a $2000 dollar paper weight like you said. I hope to see you next time i come out to ND. I owe you some chinese food or a chinese woman remember. LMAO. bye hun.
Ari"
"Everybody's so cute! And it's not that I'm a big fan of DVDs or anime, but Lord, the organization. ::droool::"

I've found the solution to a great many of my problems: sleep.
No, really, follow me on this. I just looked at my system clock a minute ago, and actually had to think about whether it was am or pm. My solumn swear: I will not go to bed any later that 2am--at least until I'm ahead of the academic game again. I'm not behind yet, but I'm running as fast as I can to stay in the same place, and that's no good. Mom, send me to bed.
Comments:
"That's what my junior year was like, too. 5 p.m. dusk looks a lot like 5 a.m. dawn.
It's ok. Go to bed, monkeybear. If you get sick, Mom and Dad won't drive out here and rescue me from the hell that is New Jersey. "
"I'm not the kind of Mom to say "I told you so..." but I think we've talked about this...you NEED at least 6-7 hours of sleep each 24 hour period...things get pretty crazy when you don't get it..."
"Your post this morning was time stamped AFTER 2 AM.....GO TO BED!!!"

Call me a bad person, but I'm pulling for the canucks. When it comes to hockey, the world belongs to Canada. (I'd like to point out that this is the only Olympic viewing time I've spent at all. Time well used, I think; what a fantastic game.)
[Visitor Jim: self-titled]
Comments:
"Oh, yeah, I think I've said that I love you. Just to reiterate, I do. Hockey, Visitor Jim, oi."
"It's ok, bunnybear. Canada can claim that sport. I went to school with a hockey player from Canada and he seemed to know three words: One was "Hooky (hockey)" and the other two were "fook.""

Kate and I were in the grocery store the other day, and I noticed something: as if it's not weird enough to buy condoms and KY-Jelly, they put it behind a locked glass case, so you have to go ask someone to get the stuff out for you. Then again, if you're not mature enough to ask for the stuff, then you're probably not mature enough to be using it, either.
[The Dave Matthews Band: Remember Two Things]
Comments:
"Yeah, I'd have to agree with you. But I mean, watch daytime tv-- why do they lock them away? These people need help."
"Maybe they just want to make sure you don't set your jug of Tide or Charcoal Briquettes on the tube and squish it all over your celery!?"
"Mom, you are an extraordinary thinker."
"I'm sure someone somewhere could work up a reasonable theory involving the oppression of females. The Man is still trying to keep us down, by locking away our lubricants. Etc."
"What stores are you shopping at? I've never been to a store where they lock it away. Maybe it's just Florida, here they must promote safe and useless, meaningless sex with strangers. Yep, that's why I live here. "
"There's female oppression in Bob the Builder, I swear it.
Also, Ashley's right. You can buy as much KY as you can carry to the checkout without anyone having to unlock anything. You Dakota folk, I swear."
"I agree with M, where's the positive female construction worker role-model for today's pre-schooler? "
"No, there IS a female on that show, but Bob treats her like crap! It's all very evil in a very subtle, evil way."
"At Walmart, they put the condoms, pregnancy tests, and KY jelly at eye level with 5 year olds, near the vitamins. Quite peculiar. "

so i've done the blogging equivalent of running away from home and crashing at a friend's house. it's fun, but now i have a horribly irrational fear of saying something stupid; doing so would be kinda like peeing on his rug, wouldn't it?
just for the record -- i think Trav is probably the only person outside of my family that would actually forgive me for peeing on his rug. God bless 'im.

So, you might notice that each entry has an author label now. As of now, fiddle2 will have some help. It's not a group-blog, but I kind of liked having Nick around for a while, and thought I'd extend this to a select few other blog-worthy friends.
First on the list: Jeff.

So, I came over to visit my fiancee, Kelly, and she is watching TLC's Trading Spaces TV show. I've never liked it, mostly on principle instead of actually watching and having an opinion on the show. 45 minutes later, and I'm making her wait until the show's over, cuz I want to see how the rooms turn out.
Comments:
"Oh, that is toooo funny! I agree wholeheartedly...you just gotta see how it's gonna look when they paint the walls a dark red...and use an old shopping cart to make a bedside table!!! ;) "
"I have an old shopping cart ... but I keep m'groceries in it.
Trading Spaces is addictive and cruel."
"Alas, I have no shopping cart. I put all my groceries on the desk NDSU graciously supplied me. My computer, however, goes on the desk I brought with me. It makes sense, though, just take my word for it."
"The backseat of a car always makes a wonderful couch, a shopping cart for groceries... all this and more at Nic and Melissa's place."
"I have a rear view mirror from my dad's car which I use when applying makeup. And a miniature shopping basket which I think originally contained Christmas gifts. NOW I'M JUST SHOWING OFF."
"I have a big red 'EMPLOYEES ONLY' sign, a press promotional photo of Leona Naess, and a Brooks West setlist as decorative items."
"All I can say is that would be an interesting episode if y'all ever appear on "Trading Spaces!!!!""

After the attacks on September 11, there was a lot of talk by the media concerning the changing priorities of America, how we're focused on the important things, not on which star is sleeping with who this weekend.
Well, I'm glad that is over - the top story on MSNBC.com is the Canadian Skaters awarded gold, while a Wall Street Journal reporter named Daniel Pearl is still missing after being kidnapped.

I don't even really know what to say. I feel like I haven't even been living my life for the last week. I can't remember what I ate for lunch yesterday, or if I even did. I can't remember what I did in classes recently, and I just feel like my reality is a little off kilter. I feel like God accidentally bumped into my life, and all the playing chips I've carefully placed are suddenly all over the place. Everything lately has completely changed, and it doesn't even feel like my life anymore. I feel like I'm wearing a tuxedo at a wedding or something, and I'm longing for my jeans and DeCSS Tshirt. I feel homesick, and I don't mean for Washburn... I'm homesick for normality.
If anyone has any idea what the hell I'm doing, let me know, I'm kind of curious.

So Jessica and I are working at the Service Center tonight, and we just ordered Chinese from Nine Dragons. I have to tell everyone on earth: I've never, ever had such a wonderful plate of food. Never have I lusted over food product like the pure ecstacy I'm feeling over this rice. Jess asked me if they should get a hotel room for me and my food.
It's that good.

"you are a complete bastard ! ! ! "
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm his parents are married....."
"Well, the pineapple is worth a shot, cause it's definitely one thing I can make REALLY well!"
"There was pineapple on the vegetarian pizza I had the other night. And ham."
"Cool. That's the first time I've ever been verbally abused on my blog. I'm thinking it was a friendly jab by someone I know, tho, judging by "yo mama", but still... I'm waiting for the day for someone to tell me what a complete prick I am in my own forum. I don't think I'd even take it down; it'd be nifty. Anyway, I am a bastard, in the non-lexicographic manner that is, as my parents are in fact married. But I'll never deny what an asshole I can be--I mean, how dare I preach the joy of Nine Dragons!?!"

I just got an SMS saying, "Why Prostitute Laundry?"
Nic's blog is called usually called so, as mine is usually fiddle2. A while ago, we had an idea to switch titles for a while. Now we have.
As for the basis of the title itself, it's a Sifl & Olly reference.

So Kate and I were having a dispute about car insurance. We called the Moorhead police, we called the Fargo police, and we called Geico. The lady at Geico (Donna's a sweetie) was very helpful, and we got some figured out, albeit not much.
I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of this post was, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Uh. Geico rocks.
(Even tho my insurance is with American Family. Kate's dad is an Allstate agent, we should have just asked him...

"No, we weren't wondering about which ins. to go with, we were wondering about differences between laws in NoDak and Minn."
"I agree, Geico rules...and I can say that with honesty...they have been my insurance company for over 5 years now. But, geesh...the rates REALLY get high when you buy a new vehicle OR add a teenage boy onto the policy...:oP"

Now for the post I promised yesterday:
The Boss says "with every wish there comes a curse." I think that's right. Brooks West covered this song Friday night, and it made me think about how we can wish for so many things to happen or to have, but the really life-moving things come from offhand statements, emails, and coincidences. Everything happens for a reason, and everything will always come out for the best, I believe that more every day.

Alrighty, there's a brand-spankin' new box to the right, a modified php script written by Jason that spits out whatever MP3 track that happens to be playing on my computer.
That's how you fatten up the server logs: make lots of stuff that encourages people to reload the page all day. (ie. randomly-shifting sections of the page, changing song titles, etc...)

This is not my journal, it's my outlet. This is not a record of the day-to-day happenings of my life. This is not history. This is not my life. This is my weblog. Weblog.
Comments:
"I love you, buttermuffin."
"But don't downplay any importance it might have though... it's how I got to know you more, considering our distance. I thought to myself yesterday that having a blog was getting tiring, but then I realized that it's how you met me, and these random things are very important sometimes. I love you, Trav!"

This last week was a good dose of what my entire last semester was like. I don't like that. I had everything scheduled to the gills, a lot to do... and plenty of time to get it done. I didn't do most of it. I am a horrible person.
Does this happen to anyone else, or is it just me?
I know what I should be doing right now. I have the list right over there, and I know that it needed to be done yesterday. I know this. Why am I putting in the X-Files? I'm never going to get this shit done. Am I actually this careless? Why don't I... Oooooo, the episode is starting now. I should pay attention.
Two or three episodes of X-Files will then go by while my Spanish homework wrenches on my stomach, and the anxiety building inside me only makes me less willing to sit down and take care of business. I need to be diciplined. Mom, send me to my room.

"Hottie McHotHot" she says. I'm tellin' ya': sunglasses and a leather jacket... it's all you need to be popular. I only wished I'd figured this out sooner--I'd gotten this jacket years ago.
Michelle knows a guy who was in my M68k class, and she was trying to explain to him who I was, and he referred to me as "Ohhh... the guy with the sunglasses." I'm 'the guy with the sunglasses,' people. Cooler than Elvis.
Comments:
"Buttermuffin, don't tell anybody you're cool. It makes you all the cooler when they have to figure it out for themselves. ;) I need a leather jacket."
"We couldn't afford "that jacket" years ago!!!!!!
We do love you, Your parents"
"Hotter than Elvis, baby. HOT."

My sister and I (ain't she a hottie?):
Comments:
"You two are gorgeous, and so absolutely cute together!
Beautiful."
"Travis, you're a hottie. Cuter than a cute thing. And your sister, she looks nice too. :)"
""...because we're related.""
"I DO have beautiful children, do I not??? :) (...."because we're related...") Sing it, Travis!"
"*rolls eyes*"
"I know... isn't this sickening?"
"Jeff knows the song too?"
"No, he's just sickened by our ranting about ourselves."
"But we think he's a cutie, too!! Your Mom"
"I guess he doesn't want to go for Chinese with us, then, huh?"
"Huh? Okay, even I missed that one."
"i'm confused."

So I sign up to do this research project, where they promise fifteen bucks for an hour's worth of participation. They're studying how genetic engineering of food affects demand for that food. They test this by having little "auctions" for Cookie A, Cookie B, Muffin A, Muffin B, etc... And you're supposed to bid on this stuff based on what you'd be willing to pay for it. What they didn't tell you until you got there was if you win the auction, you actually had to buy this shit. I walked out of there with two bags of chips, two candy bars, a cookie, and a muffin (which I gave to Editor John, because I don't like blueberries). I still ended up with thirteen bucks, though, so that's cool.
Comments:
"Careful, bunnymuffin, you've seen what all that PRACS testing did to Jef. Oh, sure, it sounds like easy money while you're in college, but before you know it, you've got blueberries popping out of your skull."
"And then you're singing karaoke, "I Will Survive." "
"It wasn't Pracs... they didn't inject me with anything. They just forced me to purchase food that may or may not be genetically engineered; that's all."
"Maybe it's a psychology study on how gullible America's college students are. "
"Man, I want to get in on the college student testing for money circuit. I'm too lazy to sell my plasma. I need other alternatives."
"Is plasma still going for twenty bucks a session in Fargo? You know, you can do that twice a week..."
"It's at 8am, though. I'd pay someone else twenty bucks to keep me from having to have to get up that early."

The new Quoteboard is coming along. You'll notice the dynamically updated box to the right, also, the entries have been archived and catagorized. Nice, eh?

Okay, so two things contributed to the little box to the right:
- Fran is doing a little thing about her nametag or something, and has a wee little text entry field on the front page. I've sent several things, none of them what she intended the box for. So I asked her to put a little "Send Fran a note" box on the front page. We'll see if it happens. I decided to start by doing it myself.
- It's really cool, but nearly worthless. It's really cool, because each entry goes not to my email account--but my cell phone. No, really. You put something in the box, hit the button, and my pants will beep a few minutes later. Nifty, huh? But completely worthless.
So, enjoy.
Comments:
"You're gonna hate that later :)"
"I've already done some scripting to keep people from just hitting the button simply out of clicky-pleasure.
Coolest message so far:
I'm at work, and I check my phone, and it says to me, "Put a vest on. -NP"
God bless Nick-the-manager. =)"
"Travissimo (oh, I apologise), will you show me how to have a little pant-beep-makin' sms form on my website? If you do, I won't kill you."

Sleep, like eating, has become something that's not entirely enjoyable anymore... it's just another time consuming activity that must be done in order to survive. A routine pain-in-the-ass when I feel like I could be doing something more productive. Like reading, or redesigning the Quoteboard. Maybe write some scripts, or implement some CSS love. No. I have to sleep and stuff.

I really like the term "pistol-whipped." I'm not sure why, but every time I hear it, I get a vision of someone tied up in a backyard somewhere, kneeling in the grass and being just clocked upside the head by a bright, shiney revolver... and I start to laugh.
Creepy, ain't it?
