  • I’m tired of commuting.  Fortunately, I won’t be commuting as far, as soon as the addition to our “new” old house is done and we get to move into what is, incidentally, a more progressive community than where we currently live and that is also closer to everything we might want to do, including my job.  And yes, our new house is an old house, built in the 1930’s.  I have a German cousin who bought a 200 year old house in Germany, but we Americans have limits.  Not that I wouldn’t have bought a 200 year old house, if there was one.  Not too many of those in Atlanta, what with the war and all (the Civil War).  Not that Germans didn’t just rebuild things after their war.  This same cousin’s father once showed my mother a wall in Germany that he described as “Roman.”  She asked him, “so it wasn’t destroyed in the war?”  He replied, “yes, of course, but we completely rebuilt it.”

    So, anyway, that is one thing that is going on in my life.  Just thought I’d post it, cause, y’know, I need people to know, I don’t know why.  I’ll leave that to you mini Dr. Phil’s out there to tell me that.

  • I am vague on whom Prometheus was. I keep confusng him in my mind with Icarus and Daedalus. I suppose I should google him but Im lazy. Just like you who say you "want to write" but have not.

  • I like reading your updates, so as long as you're writing them, I'm happy.

  • prometheus, gave mankind fire and was raped by the gods for it. or something. i'm vague on it too. good job, that, though, prometheus. whatever "that" may be. we dig it.

    i do, however, wish that you wouldn't reference dr phil in your writing. that man scares the be-what's-its outta me. funny how we'll spend so much money on "fixing" ourselves (the good dr.) instead of just moving on, but we (as in: as a country, not you and i specifically) won't throw a penny at restoring a historical fucking building. hell, i live in arizona where they're just starting to figure out that tearing down perfectly good historical buildings and neighborhoods is not okay. maybe i'm reaching in the comparison. but still.... funny, that.

  • Prometheus was a defiant Titan who helped the Gods of Olympus overthrow the other Titans, but then defied Zeus who wanted Man to die, giving them fire so they could live and for that was chained to a rock where a vulture came every day to eat his liver, which would grow back. He could see the future and foresaw how Zeus would fall, so Zeus promised to let him go if he revealed it but he wouldn't, defiantly boasting "death you cannot give me."
