Jazzlife - because all of life is jazz

My weblog owns 25 % of me.
Does your weblog own you?

I’m not as obssessed with blogging as I thought. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing…

I’m getting restless about this Webhost again… maybe it’s due to all the blog designs that I’ve been seeing through NextBlog lately, maybe I’m just hankering for a new design…

Angelfire has been a solid host - the popup banner is a bit annoying obviously - but maybe I should move to Blogspot? Or, maybe I should just redesign my template top to bottom… reader opinions?

Life During Wartime

Nothing like a good bit of political thrashing to interest the soul.

I updated my Spinner radio program today to version 4.0. Since I’m still on dial-up internet, it isn’t advantageous to stay connected all the time… but the sound quality was still good, with no buffering slow downs.

I started on the All Jazz channel. I tried one or two others briefly, but came back to the jazz quickly. :=]

I just updated the template file for this blog again. That’s the second or third time today.

I just wanted to say something as well. I can’t stand a blog with tons of cosmetic changes during a day but no additions of real content.

Following a link from another blog to Colorgenics.com, I took a test to determine my personality color.

As Blue, I’m one of the more creative and sensitive people, but also one who’s faced a lot of adversity and am leery of more.

This test amazingly reflected me to a ‘T’.

Considering that I often listen to internet jazz stations (when I have access to a high speed connection), it’s a given that I’d highlight this.

“If his presence does nothing for you, you’re not human!”

That statement of sheer ignorance I just heard on the news uttered about the Pope’s visit to Toronto.

Funny… I’m Jewish, so that doesn’t make me human? As a person with MS, one who may be helped by embrotic stem cell research - a line of research this Pope has condemed - I’m not human?

Moron.

This is the last weekend of this year’s Just for Laughs festival.

I’ll miss it all - again - but at least there’ll be a larger chance that I can make the next Blog Meetup. Maybe the street won’t be blocked off this time!

Well, the first Blog Meetup has come and gone. I tried to attend, but the choice of venue made it impossible.

I’m guessing that a majority of people chose a downtown Second Cup location because it was in the middle of the street festival for Montreal’s summer Just for Laughs.

Problem is, that means the street access was blocked. As a person with a physical disability, I took Adapted Transport, and they couldn’t get through. They could leave me outside the blocked off area, but a) I’d be tired out just footing it to the place and b)I’d have needed to leave early just to maybe be at the right place to get picked up for home.

Result: I went there only to have to come straight home. Bah.
