Today is brought to you by the letter V

Voluptiously Venting Vastly Varies....ok...I give up......geeeeze....

Well, today is the 2nd day of commercialism that is aimed towards all the pairs out there in the world. Truthfully, couldn't everyday be Valentine's? Wait...but then I'd go broke easily...or my significant other would just find me boring with no new ideas.........hmmm...so on second thought.........February 14th.....once a year seems good to me......

At the end of the day I'm another day older.....

We are nearing the end of the earthquake. Pieces are slowly going back into place and our shamble of sand will be replaced with a beautiful castle on the beach. At least that's what I'm thinking. It's been a very long journey and a long battle but I believe the war is not over and there is still a long looooooong tunnel to travel. The casualties have been noted and I'm still waiting for a phoenix to rise from the ashes.

So in the past two weeks, I've been going to the local University's concerts. There was a Violin Concerto, and tonight I went to a Piano soloist. Most of the pieces played were new age....modern pieces. It was not my cup of tea. I was very impressed with how agile the player's fingers were. They danced across the keyboard, and at times it was as if he was releasing all his anger and rage onto the poor keyboard. I do believe that he did an excellent job, but I'm not too sure I appreciate the score selection. There was one set of "studies", they were the American Prelude. The preludes had titles such as: Sadness, Tribute to Aaron Copeland, Tribute to....I forget. Very very interesting 3-5 minute preludes. His final selection was called Flaming...something......and I could see the fire coming from his hands and also the grand piano was dancing too...it was like watching the piano tuned up like one of those cars in a MTV I've seen. **Bouncy Bouncy**

Tomorrow will be a full day of training......I wonder if I'll be awake enough for it.

1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and......

So for today, in my lack of sleep state, I was able to go through a good 7.5 hours of SJA training. By the end of the period, I believe my mind was already in a mush state. I think I went into autopilot when I was asked to perform a series of "case scenarios". I went so badly into autopilot that I was actually physically doing a certain action, but my mind wasn't there at all to really do any controlling. I was in the state like in the morning when I get to work...I ofter think...did I lock the car door? I have no recollection of doing it, and I just feel so lost. Exactly the same thing happened to me when I was doing the case. I went to a point where the officer told me that I fell into his trap. I snapped out of my daze and all I could do was think..."What was I doing? Where am I??!?!?! What the F....?!" Ok, I was litterally thinking all of the way from the training facility to the station....what in the world was I doing....what was the case...what did I do wrong.......?.....damn I hate that feeling.

So I'm going to try to catch some shuteye tonight. Tomorrow is a new week..............and there was much rejoicing......

Zug Zug......

Yes...this is a REALLY early blog. I've been rolling in bed for the past 2 hours. There's just a lot of things I've been thinking of lately. Maybe due to the lack of sleep, I've been much less tolerable to annoyances and my brain also doesn't want to shut down.

I've been having lots of dreams lately, I don't remember a single one of them, but I know I had dreams. This is a sign that I'm not really sleeping, my brain is still quite active.

What does one do to calm down? I used to think that sitting down with a good book will do the job. Sometimes a bit of physical exersion can also do the trick.

My body really feels tired and wants to rest, but my brain isn't letting my body do that. I'm at the point where I think I might start hallucinating. WhuWasZat?...........

Urrrr?......Zug Zug.........wutchuwantmetodo?..........wutchuwantmetokeel?..........MRLLLLLLLLlllllllLLLLlllllll

The Hunt for Lost Domain

For the past 2 weeks, I've been going on a wild goose chase on the net to findout where my domain has gone. The original domain was regitered with company SUX (won't give the real one for reasons....). So SUX went bankrupt last year but just told us that our questions will be answered but another domain SUXOR. I've emailed SUXOR and they told me they actually are just a reseller and they've sold our account to SUXSUX. SUXSUX told me that they sold it to SUXMUCH. ........

So after a long chase, I finally asked my web guru friend Winnie "Who's the main owner? How can I find out?" She gave me the WHOIS link and I quickly pulled up a lot of valuable information.

I know how much I hate going on a tangent here but I really need to say this......OMFG!!!! I was able to pull up the original owner of the domain, the admin, tech, anyone that was linked to this domain. I know where that person lives, their phone number, their email.....and this was just typing in my domain at WHOIS. Isn't there some kind of privacy act that prevents this from happening? Or is there some bill C666 that says "all domain hosts and admins will have their private life broadcasted online."

Well, back to the chase. Finally I found from WHOIS that the base holder of my domain is TooKaus (company also masked for personal reasons....but you can guess it.....really you can...). So I emailed them to ask......who is one I need to contact to straighten things up with my domain. Alright, this is where I got a little pissed. I didn't get a response saying "Thank you for your hate mail, we'll have someone look into it and respond to you in the next decade." I just got dead air for a week and a bit. Finally I got a response today, I was all giddy and excited. They told me exactly who runs my domain. Now I can finally rest a bit waiting for my next email about how I should transfer my domain to another provider.........
