I'm home.
Whatever my mom ate? Fuck if I knowWhat manner of evil has been incubating in your fridge in your absence?
Hee Haw... I had enough of that living in NC.
Literally.
I'll say this: in Colorado, if people treat you like s*** - they'll do it to your face, just like in New England where I grew up; unlike in the South, where many will be 'nicey-nice' to you - then, say ugly things about you - behind your back... to be fair, not ALL Southerners are like that.
The Southern Gentleman and Hospitality reputation, however, is a bit overblown.
I'd rather know where I stand, in social situations; if you don't like me, just say so. I will not be offended - you will quickly become history in my life's travels, however... it must be the Italian in me, because I am very selective in people I will associate with; I have very few close friends, but many acquaintances. My late father told me many times, as a kid AND adult:
"Associate with people who are better than you are."
My father was amazing, in his way of dealing with people. He didn't try to change, or control them - he'd deal with people, as they were - but, like myself - when he ran into 'bad apples,' he'd deal with them in graceful fashion - then, make a purposeful exit.
Permanently. Even the 'bad apples' didn't have a bad thing to say about him. I had one of my father's 'acquaintances' take me aside at a block party, when I was visiting during a 'campus break,' and say:
"D****, your father is a great fella - but, he's a bit standoffish - you're his son; so, you know him well. Maybe you can give me some insight, because I'd like to get to know him better?"
I responded, "I cannot speak about him with you, as that would be a disrespectful thing for me to do as his first-born son. I can, however, give you scenarios that may help you; you see, some people are 'followers;' like, when I'm playing in an orchestral setting. Yes, I'm the guitarist - yet, there is a band leader, or conductor.
I'm at his, or her command. When I arrive at a blank spot in my sheet music for, say, 16 measures - I know that one of two things will happen. The band leader, as he counts the beats in each measure - before arriving at the beginning of that blank spot, he's either going to point at me with his free hand - meaning I will be performing a 'lead,' or, 'solo;' - or, he's going to point at one of the reed, or horn players - which means, at least one of us cats will solo.
One never knows when they'll get a chance to shine. How one will comport themselves in front of others - AFTER they get the chance to solo - can speak volumes. If you've met my paternal grandfather, you know that he's a man of few words - but, when he speaks - everyone will listen. I hope that explanation helps you, in some way (the guy, though he was my elder, didn't want me to see him scratch his head; so, he squinted - like the sun was too bright). Have a fun day at the party, Mr. K."
Exeunt, stage right (or left, as I fell asleep three times when I posted this missive)

Mornin' Ratt .Morning Whiskey, Kevin and Wolf
No storm direction change so far.
You mostly recovered yet?Mornin' Ratt .
I feel your pain. Lucky if I can sleep a couple of hours, and then.....WIDE awake .Yup. I don't sleep much anymore. .
About 75%. Finished my scripts, but STILL can't get rid of the cough and congestion. SUCKS!You mostly recovered yet?
All good things come with time, SG....You for one should know that, as I posted in the blog thread , they are working on some issues, and for Admin to offer them I think was a nice idea. Be kind and be patient please.Blogs still don't work for most people and getting a response from ANYONE in the VU hierarchy is near impossible. I am pretty sure their motto is "fuck it, close enough". Seeing how long it took for even this meager piece of shit attempt at a blog component to appear, I don't know why I expected anything more!
Oh yeah, good morning!
The business part of your brain is coming off sounding like a little boy who can't have that toy on the shelf, and mommy needs to slap his hand.I am being kind, just venting. If you release a product riddled with inadequacies and performance issues, you should fully expect criticism. I guess that's just the business part of my brain responding with what I believe to be common business sense.
Yeah, I expected that. Why would I ever expect something to work? How selfish of me!The business part of your brain is coming off sounding like a little boy who can't have that toy on the shelf, and mommy needs to slap his hand.
Hehehehe
