Alone Again In My Heart

I am alone again in my heart. I refer you to a previous entry I made in my blog, of an old poem I once wrote.

I won’t go into the details of what prompted me to post this blog entry. It’s private. I suppose the purpose of this entry is to proclaim my sorrow to the universe in an attempt to get it to pity me and throw me a proverbial bone.

Some Word of Mouth Marketing: Biting Back at Poor Customer Service

Some word of mouth marketing itself led me to the book Word of Mouth Marketing by Andy Sernovitz. So far I’m enjoying it and learning from it. And here’s some unsolicited marketing from myself to you. (Warning: it’s not all that positive. But it’s free and honest.) 1. Sahara VW Customer Satisfaction Review: POOR My car broke down in Vegas last week. Actually, I was past Vegas but Sahara VW in Vegas was the closest dealership. It turns out I needed a new fuel injection pump. This was last Monday that my car broke down.

Strange Metathoughts

I have the strangest thoughts when I’m drifting in and out of consciousness. Here are a few of the things I’ve written down recently:

  • dogs vs. doors

  • “Your beauty paralyzes me.”

  • BareBones Airlines: “Where service is our number two priority.” (The first is saving money, of course.)

Over Snowed Under

This is the fifth weekend in a row it’s snowed in Denver. I’m tired of snow. I want it to go away. I want to be able to wash my car, which once was silver. It is now dirt colored. I want to be able to walk from point A to point B without needing ice cleats. I don’t want to shovel again.

Someone Else Is Clever

Someone else now has a blog with the title “phil’s osophies.” Looks like it was started on or around December 7, 2006. However his does not have the cool little ™ symbol; that should distinguish us. :)

Wordpress is a good platform for blogging. I experimented with it a while ago, during my days of wild webserver software experimentation.

Just About Justification

Humans can justify just about anything. It’s what we’re good at. It keeps us sane and makes us crazy.

The price we pay for sentience, I guess. Lower animals do not understand therefore do not comprehend therefore needn’t make sense of the world. But on the other hand, we’re not scared of vacuums.

In a Flury over Snow

It was 10:41 in the morning when the snow began to fall at my house in Lakewood. Many people were still bitter over the fact that another storm was moving in: the second blizzard in as many weeks. Instead of giving it the cold shoulder, however, I decided to stay home and do what I normally do: work from home.

If this signals a global climate change then we should buy more snow plows and snowshoes.
