For some time now I've been wanting to express how hypocritical and ludicrous this whole issue of the Pope's remarks. As a writer, I usually can't rest easy until I feel I've captured and expressed the essence of my thoughts and feelings about something that bothers me. When I can't express them cohesively I do other things like take quizes and post their results in the hope that by doing right brain stuff it'll free up my subconcious. In that way, my left brain can then come up with what I'm trying to say.

Well, I've stopped torturing myself (and you) with idle blog fodder because I found a new blogger who's expressed my views more eloquently than I ever could. Go on and read him, and also say hello to our new neighbor in the blogosphere.

I already have high hopes for Y.O.Y as he's eluded the curse of the sucky first post by making his short and sweet. Welcome YOY I look forward to reading your POV on life's observances and annecdotes on all the funny things that happen to you.

1 Thanks for the kind words. I'm like you, when things bother me, they roll around in my mind. I think the blogging experience is going to be a great outlet for me!

To [blog] or not to [blog]: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them?
~ based on Shakespeare's Hamlet: Act 3:Scene 1

That's what's been on my mind. Whether or not to succumb to the forces that successfully silenced my blogging temporarily through a very skillfull cyber attack that brought down my entire network (& fried 2 of my pc's), OR to take up cyber arms against these cowardly bastards in a never ending cycle of technical one upmanship.

So as I contemplate my cyberfate, I lie here in my bed exhausted from the efforts of unsuccessfully countering the attack, fighting a flu-like cold and recovering from a chemo treatment that has kicked my a$$ this week. At the core of the matter is: can I live without blogging? Can I just walk away from it all and hang up my keyboard without looking back for the sake of my well being. Or can I simply exist in the gag zone of cyberspace without expressing factual yet consevative views & stirring up controversy. I wonder how Matt of Black5 & others deal with this crap.. The threats I ignore cause I've gone to great lengths to protect my anonymity, but cyber attacks are something else. This is my 2nd since I started blogging almost 3yrs ago. This is the first time that my pc's have been fried. Then there was the munu outage this weekend and I wonder if that was also a threat fulfilled.

So I ask myself, do I go ahead and get my pc's replaced & comeback to do battle against the slinging arrows, and by doing so, simultaneously bring down the wrath of moonbats & islamo-fascists on all of us?

Truthfully, most of me is willing to do battle, but not at the expense of others and my health.

One thing's for sure, with everything that's going on in my life I can't continue to replace hard drives & motherboards & expend the time & energy necessary to rebuild these pc's. more...
