Rantings, mostly…

As of 6 minutes ago, 6:25PM EST, I have declared myself in a (mini) Vow of Silence!

I’m doing it as an exercise in understanding my children better, learn to better think before I speak, and to take time to do things myself and stop relying on my children as static delegates.

Of course blogging (yeah, like I do so much) is not included in “the Vow.”  Nor is writing and written school correspondence.

I’d say I’ll keep you updated — you being the whopping 2 people who subscribe to this blog and you being the 15-20 bounces I receive a day — but we all know I’m not capable of maintaining this blog on a routine basis.

I thought to myself that it must be amazing to perform improvisation on MadTV — from an actor’s perspective at least. I also thought how difficult it must be when it hit me.

The point is improvisation requires effort not necessarily training and education although I’m sure it doesn’t hurt.

Last night as a fear exercise my oldest kid snatched the “stirring stick” out of our lit and roaring fireplace to stir it a bit because it needed it and — now get this — because it was not completely on fire.

My fearful little angel had ascended into this brave creature that we saw walking among us snatching fire from the belly of the beast to wave above her head in triumph as it sent chills down my spine.

The greatest moments in my life are based on the beauty and joy my children share as a child and the developments they make toward being an adult.

The point I’m trying to make I guess is that never again will I be afraid to accomplish something and if I am I will willingly admit that I need guidance and seek it on my own.

I’m off to see what sources of drama and improvisation they have in my area.

I got the high score on the high difficulty (next was “impossible”) level of QWERTY Warriors just now — although I’m sure it won’t last.

The only thing that I REALLY want to know is this…

The other high scorers — did they finally just quit, or did they actually lose?  Because I quit.  My wrists and forearms were starting to hurt.

In case, I get booted down a notch, I’ve uploaded a screen shot as well.

P.S.  I’ll try the impossible level when my hands stop burning.

Oh yeah, don’t I feel special.  I finally got my HTC Touch yesterday.

Interesting little device, although it is a bit lackluster.  I really don’t know what the hell I expected out of a Pocket PC, but I mean, I guess it’s good — what do I have to compare it to?

*shrugs*

OK, so am I the only retard who pre-ordered this?  I mean, seriously, it was fan-freakin-tastic!

Not to mention it comes with TONS of goodies:

3D fight scene
3D glasses (duh!)
Blue Harvest booklet
Collector’s box and commemorative keep case
Trading cards
T-shirt

Anyway, I always buy from Deep Discount.  They’re normally cheaper than everywhere else, and then throw in free shipping and handling and no tax, pfft… nuff’ said.

Yep, it’s that dreaded time of year again.  So many new and interesting things have transpired and yet so many plain and repetitive things have happened as well.

I cannot possibly hope to convince you that this blog will encounter some revolutionary content surge or “wow” you with a new and improved layout, but I can assure you that I will quite possibly be the most consistently boring and non-entertaining blogger you have ever had the misfortune to encounter.

Stay tuned!  I plan on unveiling absolutely nothing in the near future.
