And I have not posted anything in a very long time. I just find that Facebook and Twitter are much more efficient. Posting here means I need to do at least more than 140 characters or I might as well post it to Twitter. And if it is a link, well that is what Facebook is for. And really if I want anyone to see it other than Clair I need to post to Facebook as this gets updated so rarely that no one checks here anymore.
This weekend it starts. I promise to spend at least 4, umm that might be a bit long, at least two, yeah definitely at least two hours working on my site. I need to get a good archiving system into place and fix my formatting or I need to completely revamp my framework. I will work this weekend on it.
And maybe once I have a pretty site again, then I can start doing the comic.
I got this e-mail from my mother after their trip home. Attached is my reply to her. Names have been changed to protect the guilty. The Officer's named is retained because he is a big fat liar.

Very short, very quick update. Had a great time. You can see a collection of tweets on my Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/thom.haupt and a few pictures on my Google+ page at https://plus.google.com/108719896544067962880/posts.
You just lost.
This leads me into thinking about thinking. You ever try hard to forget about something you don't want to remember or think about? And you find that all you can think about is that thing? That is where I am at right now. I know the way I stop thinking about that thing is to get myself busy, distracted, let time pass, and basically just stop being such a whiny little bitch. But I am also torn, what if I don't want to stop thinking about that thing? (And really it is an enjoyable memory, just one that is ... um, one I should forget.)
What do you do when you feel like your government is working to destroy your life? How do you resist without breaking the law? How do you resist a law that directly contradicts a constitutional amendment? And this is after the Supreme Court ruled against the Constitution. Where do you draw the line in the sand to say, at this point I WILL break the law because you have removed my right to life, liberty, and my pursuit of happiness.
At what point do you just ignore a law and hope you don't get caught?
At what point do you announce you will not follow a law?
Looking at this page I am thinking off all the things I want to write here. There is a large portion of my mind and life that I do not put online. It is because my personal views might reflect badly on my company or upset friends and family. And there are times I wish I could write those feelings and experiences here just so I could put them out there as a therapeutic exercise. But really writing them down wouldn't make me feel them any less, it would mostly likely just piss off or hurt a bunch of people I care about and potentially cause me some serious professional trouble.
I typed the above title and it prompted me for another blog title I had typed that was "Bloggity blog blog". But this one is different. Only one blog. (Must mean that it will be shorter, correct?)
There are so many things I want to do in my free time. Laundry, clean my house, work on this site, update the comic, reboot the podcast, update my photos. What do I do? I go home and take a nap and play some WoW.
You know what is sad? I started this post about 6 hours ago. I don't have time to write four sentences. Oh well.
Clair at http://www.theupsidedowncupcake.com/ has commanded that I write an awesome blog post about her. Since my purpose in life to make her happy, here is my entry about my Vegas trip from last week. (Photo highlights to come later.)
