    Amazing how little I use Myspace since it's become blocked at work. I still get some blog posts up at OBPOPCULTREF and DCFUD, but this poor thing has been neglected like Britney Spears' kids.

    That's about to change.

Not that the DoD is going to suddenly allow Myspace back through their firewalls. Are you kidding me? There's more bad HTML and Javascripting on Myspace than on off-shore SPAM servers, just phishing for passwords and credit card numbers.

And, Pandora's blocked too. Now that I'm home, I'm completing a 2-for-1 browser window of blocked sites at work. Jimmy Eat World after The Nadas after Doves. Now, Guster. God bless the little internets.

No, the DoD won't allow Pandora back though, either. Not when we can get Armed Forces radio streaming through, and Lord knows I loves hearing me Bon Jovi, Common and Los Empandas Es Mucho Campanero or whatever that Spanish-language song is I can't understand.

No, I'm looking at doing something more drastic. Moving.

New job. New town. New problems. New opportunities. One less bridge.

I am about ---><--- this close to accepting a job back out in the Midwest. Back in telecom. Doing what I never should have stopped doing.

Moving to the Upper Midwest in the late summer? Should be easy. Living there in December? I don't know. It'll be cold, but, it's back doing something more my speed.

I'll make up my mind tomorrow. The Ides of August. My uncle Jim's birthday. Sure there's some sort of symbolism there, but, I'll be damned if I can find it.

I know this - I'm not sure what I know anymore. The Clash asked "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" If Mick Jones and Joe Strummer can't help me, who can?

Oh...I know who to ask.



Hmmm....he's no help. Damn you and yourbland, meaningless blue-eyed soul, Astley!!!

A straight man who freely admits that he's listening to Rick Astley. Rare..........not as rare as an Arizona Cardinals fan but rare.

As much as a few of us would hate to see you leave, you only live once, and you sound more than ready to go. I say go for it man.
