I'm hoping the new colors will help TC get some more traffic again. The most popular color since I added the option is Blue. No real surprise to me, that's why most of my web sites are blue. At first the original Pink wasn't doing well at all. However, now I'd say that Pink is probably the second most popular color.

I guess the advantage I have in life is that I use some sort of realism to keep me in check. I know what I can probably do, and I strive for greater things sometimes, but i don't really think beyond that. I just stick to what I know will work and I go with it.
So when it comes do dealing with certain situations I don't think about it too much if I'm convinced that there is only one really realistic solution to the issue at hand.
I see it, but maybe no one else does, but I do.
Its done me well to be in my "realistic bubble" where I know how bad things are and can potentially become...
but damn does it sure make it hard to dream...

Real time.
Mitch's comic strip reminded me of this thing I wanted to post.
Okay, this is from a week or so after Obama was elected, on the season finale of 'Real Time with Bill Maher.' I found it to be hilarious, so I thought I'd share.
"I read this in USA Today, a survey of Americans, how they felt about Obama's election, 67% proud, 59% excited, 30% pessimistic, 27% afraid. So we'd like to fuck with those people right now. The people who are afraid. A little something we call 'Obama World'.
In Obama World all guns will be confiscated and melted down to make a giant statue of Allah.
The National Anthem will be changed from the Star Spangled Banner to Gin and Juice.
The colors of the American flag will be changed from red, white and blue to black, black and leopard print.
The Department of Health and Human services will now be the Department of Earth, Wind and Fire.
And the Obama Cabinet will consist of Shaft, Dolemite, Foxy Brown, Mandingo, Cleopatra Jones, Superfly and Blacula.
And finally the government will listen in on your phone calls, search you without a warrant, arrest you without charges and hold you without a trial.
...Oh wait, that's now."

I want to get back to the way things used to be.
I don't want to be this person I've become.
This is my new year's resolution.

I've been working on TC lately. Decided I should try to tap into the traffic that it still gets, so I'm adding additional content and features to the site, and finally giving it a real layout instead of the slapped together one it has always had.
Logo is getting changed, and the tags themselves are getting changed slightly. I really like the new look of both.
Who knows what will come of any of it, but I'm hoping for a fantastic outcome. Hoping to get the new stuff rolling later in the week I guess.

I wish old plaster walls that are flaking and covered by a layer of wallpaper, and then a layer of paint.. weren't above my personal skillset. That, other than money, is the reason why the downstairs part of the building has halted.
It seems easy enough, repair the areas of plaster that are falling apart, scrape off the flaking paint, sand down the paint edges, prime with KILZ, and paint. That's my plan anyway. I guess it's just that once you get going it seems like a very large project. Scraping off paint is tedious, and I always end up scraping off A LOT more than I planned on, or probably need to. Meh.
I was down there tonight trying to be productive rather than stupid and wasting my life. Then the project got big. Part of me just wants to scrape off the VERY loose stuff, patch holes, and prime. Leave the paint edges, I think it'd kind of be cool. And hope that the paint doesn't peel off too quickly. heh.

I love quotes.
I know I have quite a few listed in my facebook profile, but here are a few others that I like.
"There are far worse crimes than burning books. One of them, is not reading them." - Joseph Brodsky
"I want you to remember that no son of a bitch ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country." - Gen. George S. Patton
"A happy childhood is the worst possible preparation for life." - Kinky Friedman
"I often think that a slightly exposed shoulder emerging from a long satin nightgown is far more sexy than two naked bodies in bed." - Bette Davis
"I think the fact that I look totally artificial, but I am totally real, has its own kind of magic in it." - Dolly Parton
"What you cannot enforce, do not command." - Sophocles
"Tobacco, coffee, alcohol, hashish, strychnine, are weak dilutions; the surest poison is time." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Having the right to do something does not mean that doing it is right." - William Safire
"In science it often happens that scientists say 'You know, that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. It happens every day, but I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." - Carl Sagan
