Where am I again?
There are any number of interesting things happening in the world right now. I bought a tank of gas yesterday and paid more than I ever though I would ever pay for gas. That hurt. There are remarkable things happening in local politics, national politics, and the world stage. All of this interests me in a peripheral way. In the world of on-line games there have been a couple of major stories regarding the sale of virtual items and the Grand Theft Auto sex scenes fiasco. I could write a pretty decent blog entry about any or all of that.
But I won't. At least I won't right now. The reason is my mind is spinning with all of my day-to-day trials and tribulations. I sometimes feel like I'm being pulled in 15 different directions at once, so today I counted how many different entities want or need something of me . . . and I counted 16. That gave me quite a start. To a type 9 personality, that's about 14 demands too many (although it is also probably a very healthy thing to a type 9).
So I'm spending an enormous amount of energy trying to keep my head above water, and juggle all of the myriad tasks I'm responsible for keeping under control, and then I spend a little extra time trying to keep my mind and soul focused. I had trouble sleeping there for a while, and I think I'm starting to figure out why. I was just thinking things through way too much. The annoying part is that over half of what I'm spending so much time worrying about is totally out of my control anyways. I should just let it go and let it resolve itself, but the silly control freak in me has issues with that, and keeps trying to come up with new and inventive ways to influence the outcomes (and every once in a while does come up with something useful).
So, what was the point of this random and disjointed entry? To tell myself and anyone reading this that I'm not making a lot of sense these days, but that is not your fault (unless you're asking something from me, in which case it is ALL your fault). I've noticed I can't seem to speak as rapidly or quickly as I usually do. I also am making more bone-head mistakes in regular tasks that are usually not a problem for me. I'm making a lot more typing mistakes right now while I'm typing this, and I usually type pretty well. This could all just be due to my getting older now though, and I'll just have to live with it.
Lastly, I'd like introduce this week's background music. This is possibly my favorite classical piece ever. It represents the best use of harmony, balance, and counterpoint that I've ever heard. I love it, and I listen to it over and over when I'm feeling I'm in need of balance (like now). So enjoy! Well, enjoy if you're using Internet Explorer, the only browser that still recognizes the bgmusic tag. :)

You may have missed the first tune I used one this blog. It was the lyrical piece from Cowboy Bebop that you shared with me. Thanks for that! :)
He's still alive and kicking, but I wish he was closer so I could kick him!
