My God, it's full of stars...I think...I can't see them 'cause of this blasted monitor though

I haven't made a post in a while so I just thought I would drop a line so that blogspot didn't think I had died and chose to send out searchers to recover my body.

That and I've been reduced to one of the most vile acts against nature. I am sitting outside on a beautiful night, the stars are above me, the sounds of slumbering nature are in my ears (a blessing compared to the cacophony of sounds usually so impressive upon me at this time of night (for a reference see my post about dreams) and yet I have my laptop with me. I'm surrounded by mother nature's glory (granted I'm just in my back yard) but I have dragged this atrocity we call technology out here with me. I have sullied nature with the electric hum of my hard drive and cooling fan.

Now don't get me wrong. Don't think that I've suddenly given up on nature and embraced technology. It's just that for the last week or so normal temperatures have been unbearable to me. I feel as if I'm sitting in 90 degree heat at 60 percent humidity when I'm in a 70 degree house. I'm sitting in a folding chair, it's 51 degrees out, I am wearing a t-shirt, shorts and sandals and I'm sipping on a cold soda and I'm comfortable. I don't know what has brought on this change and will most probably be seeking medical attention for it if it keeps up but for now I'm forced to drag this infernal machine into the bosom of our mother planed and taunt her with that which she cannot create. Ok...maybe a LITTLE over the edge there but I really do hate it when I see people out and about where they should be admiring God's creations and instead they're staring at a Gameboy or talking on a phone or punching keys on a laptop. And on that note I think I'll sign out and stare at the stars for a bit.
