I Flunked Tech School

Or, more to the point, my lack of physique flunked me. No matter how well I do on the classwork or how diligently I try, I just don't have what it takes to be a mechanic, and at my age I can't exactly grow ten kilos of muscle, can I?

I'm grateful for the experience and the opportunity but I'm very disappointed that I couldn't capitalize on it in full.

Meanwhile, I should look for something else to do while the economy recovers. Something tells me I won't be looking long.

This Week's FreeWill

Sagittarius Horoscope for week of October 28, 2010

Is the highest form of courage embodied in a soldier fighting during a war? Irish poet William Butler Yeats didn't think so. He said that entering into the abyss of one's deep self is equally daring. By my astrological reckoning, that will be the location of your greatest heroism in the days ahead. Your most illuminating and productive adventures will be the wrestling matches you have with the convulsive, beautiful darkness you find inside yourself. Halloween costume suggestion: a peaceful warrior.


*Looks in the armoire* Hmm...that I could do.

Can My Computer Blog and Chew Bablegum At The Same Time?

Hard to tell at this point. :/

Signed up for Bablegum.com this evening for no reason other than the simple fact that they had a favored episode of "Thugs On Film" in their stock. It took an hour to download and install their player, and another hour (and counting) to attempt downloading the video I want. Yes, I can blame dial-up but this system compounds the agony.

Just the same, an embed test is in order:
