Show me a man who's got all his eggs in one basket, and I'll show you a dork carrying eggs around in a basket. What a dweeb that would be.
Whew! I am to be congratulated, for I downloaded every single one of the 107 symphonies of Joseph Haydn from BitTorrent Junkie. What a boring person. No, not me - him. He's the one that sat around and wrote all those symphonies. But since they all sound exactly the same, it might not have taken him much longer to compose 'em than it took me to download 'em.
That was all to say sure, okay, I guess I am a boring person.
So my son has gotten me into Air Soft. And while I don't exactly have a whole lotta love for guns, I did buy one to practice with. I'm just not sure what I'm practicing for. I've got a reproduction of the classic Pietra Beretta and he's got a Smith & Wesson that's way more accurate. And more powerful. And just plain mo' better. But fear of reprisal isn't the only reason I'm not planning to shoot my child with plastic BBs in an Air Soft war.
Let's see, since determining that BitTorrent is the way to go for classical, opera, or complete albums, I've also swiped Puccini's Tosca and La Boheme, Grieg's Peer Gynt Incidental Music (cf. Peer Gynt Suites), all of Nielsen's symphonies, all the Scorpions albums, Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, and a three-CD collection of America's folksy and well-loved California rock of yore.
Don't you just love how all discussions now turn to politics? I certainly do. I can't get enough of discussing things that stress me out to no end but that I have little to no direct control over. I have one word that those of you who wish to discuss politics with me need to familiarize yourselves with. And that word is shut up. Actually it's tradeoff.
Cogitate on that for a while and please do get back to me if you still have something politically charged to say.
What will they think of next? Phoning from a blog rushes to mind, but
that's probably days away.

i know eggsactly what you mean apropos politics. on my blog (which you can no longer read thanks to those humpty dumpty twits you toil away for) i was just talking about the need for a totalitarian government that'd do away with the need for all this banal politicking everyone feels the need to do these days. i was hoping i could fit another egg reference in before i close this out, but my brain's all ... scrambled.
You do have such a way with wordplays, -b. It's almost worth logging in at night to view your blogue. A totalitarian gov't would rectify lots of these problems we tend to carry from admin to admin. Definitely gets one thinking.
