1 Okay, so yesterday I had this AMAZING DN all packaged and ready to roll.
2 I had a rare day where the DN had idiotic pix and goofiness all through it, I SWEAR to you!
3 For whatever reason, it decided to not allow you to see all it's guts and glory.
4 Was I upset?
5 You darned right I was.
6 I had a royal gafffffffaw follwed by intricate moments of humor that only Mark Twain would acknowledge.
7 But (hand to forehead!) Alas!
8 For whatever reason, Xanga, or Windows, or some damned idjit decided to make it absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to get that DN to you.
9 I may have saved it; I may not have.
10 But indeed, I BEGAN the thing YESTERDAY at lunch.
11 It was a fun DN, better than some of the piffle that I shot out there in the last few days.
12 See, the DN wants nothing more than to entertain, sort of like opera guys on PBS.
13 But sometimes it decides to take on a life of its own, and last night was a huge hit to DN fans.
14 Didn't matter.
15 Either Xanga, or Microsoft, or SOMEBODY decided that it wasn't gonna be published, not this go around, let me tellya.
16 Which is WAY too bad, because I had a definite knee-slapper ready to launch.
17 But for whatever reason, the mouse started bouncing and slitting about in all sorts of ways and before I knew it, I was battling this boushit into the night.
18 I had WRITTEN the thing at noon, and was simply in the process of editing, when I got home and was clobbered by the usual exhaustion.
19 I came home, fell asleep, and awoke at around 6 p.m. to take WHAT I HAD WRITTEN at NOOOON!!!! and began all over again. I assumed that the text would hold its own, and that I could goof and get some idiotic pics for y'all, but the mouse and the Internet said "NO!"
20 I SWEAR to you that I had some fun stuff, but once I began editing, the computer went sixteen ways to Sunday.
21 I musta spent two hours trying to right it, but it had a mind of its own, with the cursor staying WAY away from whatever fun stuff I had lined up.
22 And so as a guy trying to give y'all a giggle, I was suddenly faced with resistance, idiocy, and cursors that believe heavenly in behaving as though they have the jits.
23 I felt powerless untill I read me audience.
24 Thank GAWD for the readers of the DN!
25 If not for your intelligence and ability to chuckle along with me, I'd have been screwed.
26 I SWEAR to you that I had an entirely different (and WAY less tedious!) DN that was really all about vanity and stuff.
27 Won't matter. What matters is that y'all got this, and realized that life simply sallies forth.
28 So somehow I seized control, but what I worked on for three hours just dissipated.
29 I'm still standin'.
30 So are you.
31 Be fierce. I must move to other things right now, As for YOU, I could say only this:
32 Remain fierce. Kick ass in everything you do today, and KNOW who's focused and on it.
33 And then deliver them a left hook.
34 Just bust their chops.
35 It's Thursday. I'll look around for the other DN, but it pretty much disintegrated into a quick mist.
36 So it goes.
37 Rock on.
38 Peace.
