Like you&#8217;re looking at me<br />
I am dreaming of you<br />
Like you&#8217;re dreaming of me<br />
I am feeling for you<br />
Like you are feeling for me<br />
But I am not afraid of this<br />
Like you are afraid of bliss<br />
I am thinking about you<br />
Like you are thinking about me<br />
I am wanting more of you<br />
Like you are wanting more of me<br />
I see tomorrow and you<br />
But sorrow&#8217;s what you see<br />
Still I am not afraid of this<br />
Like you are of bliss<br />
Can&#8217;t you see you<br />
Looking at me<br />
And see that this<br />
You should not miss?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started thinking about that this evening. I wonder if I should simply start moving everything on my website into a wiki and stop doing anything in any sort of linear blog fashion. My site is currently split between: old hard-coded html files and images which have lots of archived but outdated creative efforts, a WordPress blog (that I rarely use relative to), a Wiki. Hypothetically, the blog setup should be inspiring me to write every day. However, it seems to fail in that regard, and I post to the Wiki far more often.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maybe they are doing this for publicity, in which case I guess they are winning. However, I do not understand the decision that Netflix has made to intentionally spin off their DVD division into some other company. For people who get both services: streaming and mailed DVDs, this seems like a reduction in ease of use. Having your queues, billing, customer service, etc all split up onto two different websites seems inconvenient. At very least, imagine having to login twice just to check the same stuff you logged into once. Netflix argues they are doing this to be better and more competitive with other streaming services. It seems to me that one way they could brand themselves as better would be to advertise that they also offer this huge DVD service in addition to their streaming one. Strange stuff. Maybe it will work for them, but I don&#8217;t see how, and I don&#8217;t look forward to the extra logins and credit card entries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Active military service has not been a consequence of mandatory draft registration since 1973. Nonetheless, every male in America must legally register for the draft within 30 days of the age of 18 or suffer serious legal penalties including lengthy imprisonment, large fines and lack of civil rights on a state and federal level.</p>
<p>I was reading an <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/01/15/military.women/">article</a> today on CNN about the movement to &#8220;allow&#8221; women to serve in combat duties in their military service in order that they might be treated equally to their male counterparts. Frankly, I wish that <em>nobody</em> had to serve combat duty. However, there is a strangeness to this approach to &#8220;equality&#8221; in my view. To me, equal means equal for bad and equal for good.</p>
<p>As such, it seems that real equality is not limited to those who choose something when others are forced into something. To me, real equality in this case would require that <em>all</em> men and women should be required to register for the draft or that <em>no</em> men or women should be required to do so. All or none. Equal or not equal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lately, I have fairly consistently failed to meet my own ideas of what I should be doing as regards new creative works. I have this sense that I am supposed to be writing things, and posting them online, way more often. I think that part of this stems from the fact that I don&#8217;t currently have a close confidante that is sharing my day to day thoughts. In the past, I was fairly satisfied to tell my love what I was thinking. In absence of such a presence, however, I have an urge to tell the world if I cannot tell the most important person in my world. I think another part stems from the fact the fact that my brother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and this makes me feel extraordinarily mortal. When I was a teenager, I was struck by a car while bicycling to track practice. This permanently damaged my left leg. As I grow older, that leg has gradually caused me more and more trouble. My brother has been brave about dealing with his condition, but finding out about it has given me self-induced cause to dwell upon my injuries and their longterm effects. Hm, this feels a bit like personal bitching to excuse lax behavior. I am going to leave it that way, though, as recognition that I might be doing exactly that.</p>
