"don't forget, i came from nothing, while i like these toys, i can live w/o them" ~vinnie chase
who had it better, the flinstones or the jetsons? with the emergence of these nascent technologies have we become more sophisticated or more dependent on an excess of material needs? i remember a point in time when mobile phonese were luxuries and the only person who owned one was zack morriss. today, the've become necesseties, and it's almost foolhardy to leave home w/o one. on sunday night, i attended a graduation party w / my family. the party was a rather bore, and i had brought w / me neither my ipod nor my mobile phone. so i had the option of relying on nothing other than my innate patience to carry me through the party. so i guess it's still plausible not to be completely dependent on these perpetually updating toys, eh?

"don't lost your grip on the dreams of the past, you must fight just to keep them alive" ~Survivor
i have used the Rudyard Kipling analogy so frequently, that it must feel really hackneyed coming out of my mouth. but in spite of sounding like a broken record, if you recall, that the theme to his short story The Most Dangerous Game dealt with how when/if a man loses intrigue in what he is most passionate about, then he might as well be dead, and to revitalize himself, he must find a way to rekindle that interest. well, for those who know me can attest that i've never had a dearth of vocabulary, but lately i have not been visiting Dictionary.com and learning their new word of the day. am i drawing a proper analogy here? i hope not, or else, i will need some serious rekindling to do

ok, it's been a good minute since i blogged. perhaps this one will be more consistent. i was smoking a Rocky Patel up on the 30th floor of my building, but the nice breeze was precluding me from enjoying it fully. then Keri calls me and says she's off from work early for a change and would be free to meet at Sombrero's for a Margurita, so my enjoyment of it was curtailed nonetheless.
growing, up, i was addicted to television, and would often formulate my schedule in harmony with my favorite shows. but funny, now that emerging technologies such as dvr and tivo would alleviate this stringent burden on my schedule, there is no show that compels me to stick by the tube.
i do dig the wsop, but ESPN airs that rather frequently
