Preemptive Random Synapse Firings

Ever wonder if the warhead that has been hurled at a speed of +26,000 MPH at a comet passing near the earth was such a good idea? Well now would be a good time as any. Although I have just discovered a rather dissapointing fact. We will not be able to see the impact as had been previously believed. Appearantly the impact will occour somewhere west or east (depending on your point of view) of Hawaii. In other words somwhere between Hawaii and Japan. This will occour around 1:52 am July 4th +/- 3 mins EDT. Im sure there will be a live webcast from NASA's site. Hopefully this wont be catastrauphic, lest the rest of this post be in vain. I have added an image link to One.org This is a good cause, however I feel that they are overlooking the cases of domestic extreme poverty. Dont get me wrong Im all for what they stand for. If there is a way to stamp out extreme poverty world wide, Im inline to help where I can. But I do find it a bit arrogant to take on global poverty when there is such a high rate domestically. No one wants to admit it but there are A LOT of poor families in America. I would think that if the statement 'Its America's time to shine' that America would take care of its own poor first. But dont let me discourage you from checking out One.org by all means lend a hand where you can. There is a HUGE International musical festival going on over the next several days. All they ask for is you to sign a letter (presumably to have it printed out and handed to the powers that be) , and post a picture with your name. They will be lining the streets with the photographs in the city where a meeting is taking place with 8 of the most powerful politicians in the world. I sent mine in. Who knows some accidental photograph of the pictures will have my face plastered all over national and international papers/news shows. HEH HEH my shot at fame. And I have finally almost finished out as much as I can for Lisa Laurens site which I am upgrading via Grinz Control Dock. I have been working on this site for what seems like ages. I dont know what it was that took so long. There were some minor details that got overlooked when I started, and these led to major issues on down the line. I think I have gotten most of the bugs worked out. I still have a few things that need finishing up but I dont think they are out of my grasp. Also I have my own site through Control Dock, unfortunately it is not available to the public until I get my own domain name. This should be in the very very near future. But I have been using it to track my progress along the learning curve of Control Dock. All of which is about to be archived and maybe available to the public but the site itself will be getting overhauled once I get the domain. Im still not totally sure which direction I will be taking with the site but Im sure I will find some way to take up a little bit more of cyber space. I dont know if you noticed, heck I dont know if there is a you out there or not. Not that it matters, not to say that I want anyone that is comming to stop. But noone ever writes, and I feel so unloved. Even the folks that came to harrass me have quit posting. Of course I havent been very diligent in updating this blog. Maybe I have a rather dull life and dont have much to comment on. Thats just sad. Anyway Im off to see the fireworks downtown. Is it just me or is Memphis the only city to decide that city wide we will celebrate holidays on whatever day they choose? I mean Halloween fell on a Wed night, they decided to celebrate the Fri night before hand. Now its July 3rd and we are going to shoot fireworks off celebrating the 4th...... Did I mention random?????
