Given some recent events and the lack of recent updates to things, I decided to upgrade my site.

I’m kinda stupid.

I think this was covered in previous posts, but just in case: I clicked on the “Upgrade now: Recommended” button, and it started downloading stuff… Until it stopped.

I stared at it, and it laughed at me. (I’m not imagining this, I know this website… Sixteen years, and I know when it’s laughing at me, versus just laughing…)

So, I stop the upgrade, and every page loads to blank.

Something has been keeping me from posting, and hasn’t been resolved yet, but I’ve been staying away and holding it to myself for too long. So, here’s a partial post to offer an excuse.

I’m sick of dishonorable behavior in the people around me. Even I have succumbed to it; shame is partially to blame for my blog absence.

I don’t want forgiveness. I don’t want anyone to help prop myself or others up with excuses. I don’t want forgiveness.

Things are hard, and people are taking shortcuts. The easy way. The way that operates on hope, not logic and facts and details.

But the easy way always hurts someone, sometimes only the person taking the easy way, but usually all the people directly involved.

Unfortunately, the easy way usually involves not communicating needs and wants to others involved. Just leaving things unspoken, as understood, when they aren’t just understood.

So, people are just deciding to do things, not talk to people, and not obeying directly visible cause and effect.

I’ve been hurt thrice in the past year and a half by careless, unthoughtful, illogical actions taken by those around me. Each broke my heart. Each landed me deeper in a depression that has seriously taken it’s toll, and not just on me.

I want people around me, and concurrently myself, to start giving a damn about honor, integrity, and doing what’s best WITHOUT screwing ANYONE over, by thinking about their possible actions and their repercussions outside of a moment’s worth of pleasure.

I’d also like it if people would stop thinking with their gut, and just allow their gut to cause doubt, thus encouraging thoughtful review with others.

But that’s asking alot.

Please try. I am, every minute of every day.

Skåll!!!

I’m currently changing up some plugins, cleaning up add-ons, and editing stuff under the hood, so I can start mobile blogging via iPhone, and fix/update stuff that has gotten weird over the past few months.

So, if this site starts acting funny, that’s why.

Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, WOW, lotsa stuff has been happening.  Where to start…?

Oh, I know.  With my priority list: workaholicism, social-life, and long-term.  (All three of which have not led themselves to regular blogging, not without biting hands that feed.)

I’ve been looking online for a good service/site to help me work out some color scheme… difficulties with our internal website for a decent amount of time today.

Some of the pages are proving difficult to use, so if we adapt the color scheme to better readability and so-on, it’s a good thing, right?

Well, it is until you actually start searching for these magical tools.  It’s like trying to catch leprechauns.  With water and health food.  Kashi, or something like that.

P.S.: My.  Shortest.  Post.  Ever.
