Tower Of Babel

I’m not going to chat for too long as I have to get up early tomorrow as I am giving the Leprosy talk tomorrow, and, I want to give it another run through before I go to bed tonight.

This morning, I got up early as I found I could not sleep after about 5:00 AM. So, I was watching CNN for a few minutes on the TV, but there was just too much repitition about the developments with the sniper suspect case, that I got bored, so I turned the set off and came to the PC. Unfortunately, it seems my ISP was having server problems. Every site I tried to hit resulted in, “Cannot find server.” After many futile attempts, I cussed some claat and shut down.

Nothing much is happening otherwise. I got my car back yesterday. The damage that the fool who rearended me had made, has now been remedied. I did not realise how much I had become attached to my Integra. I was renting a little Corolla that had no power and shocks that were more like mattress springs. I hated it. Thank God I got my wheels back.

Isn’t it amazing how we can become attached to the little comforts that we take for granted or become accustomed to in life? Our cars, our computers, electricity, a telephone. You know what I mean, right? It made me think. Didn’t we survive before technology came along? We don’t HAVE to own a cellular phone, do we? But, because we are introduced to the technology, and the good things about having it, we have one. And, man do some of us become servants to technology. I must admit that I have become a bit ruled by blogging and the net. Anyway, I’m not pathological. I do believe that I am right in saying that the Psychiatrists have come up with a diagnosis called Internet Associated Disorder. It has criteria in order to make the diagnosis. Hope I don’t get there, but, then again, I think I am too much of a non-geek for that.

By the way. wKen is back from his blog holiday. Go welcome him back if you like. Blogland was not quite the same without his posts.

Anyhow, I have beat my gums up enough and just rambled along. So, hear what? Me gaan! More time.
