Live Paradox

A journeyman’s ramblings: He is no everyman, but one who turns a carefully focused eye on the events of the madcap world around him. He aims to point out what others miss and draw attention to the patterns that exist amongst the chaos.

WAG - Computer Comforts


After about two hours of reading articles on race, and how little progress the country has made, I seek solistice in the all encomposing embrace of the computer.

I go through the regular website check-up. I head to CNN to see if we’re at war yet. Nope. Nothing big is going on. I check CBS News to how the latest Point-Counterpoint debates between Clinton and Dole went. From my biased, heavily opinioned viewpoint, Dole won this one, tying the series at to 1 and 1.

Then tiring of that, I turned to my extensive mp3 collection. Yes, I am an internet bandit. I download music rather than paying for it most of the time. Maybe if CDs were cheaper, or had more than 2-4 good songs on an 18 track disk, one might be willing to buy them more often.

It’s always telling when the ratio of CD burning to CD purchasing is so steep it’s laughable.

Napster may be gone, and lawsuits may be pending against KaZaA, Morpheus, and others, but they’ll never be able to behead the Hydra of the file-swapping community.

But still they do try.

Good luck.

If you will excuse me, I have to get back to the song..

“You’re what?!”

“Tin roof…rusted.”

No I don’t know what it means, but rock on anyway!
