Attempts at expression

I want to write, but I don't know what to write about. When my blog caught the attention of a group of readers beside myself, several people advised me to block its contents to the public - my writing possibilites here are not what they used to be. Now I may have to exclude some of my intended entry thoughts from future postings. Belgian bummer :(. I mean, I don't mind people reading all kinds of stuff about myself - that affects no one but myself. But sometimes I do post out stuff about OTHER people... like what I think/feel about them, parts of their own stories, and I can see how would those people NOT like that. Sigh. I guess it's time to start filtering my blog content (until my social life again diminishes into virtual nothingness, or until I stop caring about them caring). I believe these filters will do for now:

Content type intended not to be posted in this blog's entries in the near future:

1. My sex life.
2. My sex thoughts.
3. My thoughts and feelings about people with a reasonable chance of either reading this blog or of being told about this blog's entries by another person. (Reasonable being defined as a more-or-less 10% combined with my gut feeling at that moment).
4. XHTML 1.0 Strict.
   
5. The following "vulgar words" (their intended replacements are listed alongside them) Fuck (fornication/coitus/...), Shit (excrement), and Ass (donkey). (Not that I ever used them anyway (except the first one, only in one entry). THIS is my most "vulgar" entry ever.)
   
6. MIME types.

Well, that's not too bad. I think the third restriction will block out the most content of all six.

So... I guess I should actually update my blog now.

I just read some of my last year's blog entries, published back when I used my old Live Spaces account (http://ajlsnook.spaces.live.com/default.aspx) instead of this fine Blogger site (http://www.blogger.com). I was impressed by some of them - they really do manage to convey non-trivial thougts in an easy-to-read fashion (as judged by my own certainly-biased opinion).

And now it's already 7:29PM, and I'm still sitting down in my apartment in my shorts, sweating with the room's 88F temperature as indicated by the apartment's thermostat, doing my laundry and packing my bags for tomorrow's trip still a distant thought (I was even thinking of titling this blog "Saturday Sloth" or "What a waste of weekend"). Today I:

• Danced and flirted at Karma on 8th and Colorado until 4AM.
• Played a couple of rounds of Super Smash Bros before going to sleep, still trying to beat Boss Battles in Intense Mode.
• Went to sleep at about 5AM.
• Woke up at my phone's alarm at 9AM, turned it off, and continued sleeping on the rug.
• Struggled with the thought of getting up for 3 hours.
• Managed to get up from the rug.
  
• Ate a bowl of Fiber One + Milk.
• Played another couple of rounds of Super Smash Bros, and failed to accomplish my goal again.
  
• Noticed I was sweating a lot and took a cold shower, washing off the dry sports gel I still had on my hair from last night.
• Wondered if the local gravitational field had been somehow altered, for the scale told me I weighed 5 pounds less than I did yesterday (prolly cuz of all the dancing last night).
  
• Checked my bank account online.
• Chatted a while with Khris from CR (he did one of his university admission exams today, says it was really easy, and his birthday's tomorrow).
• Read some of my blogs from Live Spaces (http://ajlsnook.spaces.live.com/default.aspx), and remembered that I had another photo site where I used to upload all my photo albums before finding out about Google Picasa Web Albums.
  
• Moved yesterday's pictures from my camera's SD card onto my portable hard drive, and uploaded them to my Picasa web albums (http://picasaweb.google.com/antoniojl/SunsetSession). That sunset was ASTOUNDINGLY beautiful. The pictures couldn't capture its greatness at all.
  
• Decided to write this blog entry.
• Put the laptop on my desk, connected my USB mouse and keyboard, and noticed that my mouse was not being recognized.
• Found a Phillips screwdriver in a drawer and disassembled my USB mouse.
• Fumbled with the cables inside the mouse a little, reconnected it to the laptop, and saw it light up red again.
• Had a hard time putting my mouse back together again.
• Felt a strange, numbing sensation in my eyes after fixing the mouse, very probably caused by looking at the strong, red LED inside the mouse for 10 minutes (I REAAAAAAAAAAALLY hope I don't go blind(er)).
  
• Ate another bowl of Fiber One + Milk.
• Washed the pot and cooked (is cooking the right term?) 4 hard-boiled eggs.
• Cracked, peeled, and ate the 4 hard-boiled eggs with salt.
• Ate another bowl of Fiber One + Milk (and put the milk plastic container in the apartment's recycling area.
  
• Changed my flight reservation tomorrow - instead of flying out at 1600, now I'll fly out at 1030.
• Saw my USB mouse fail repeatedly again, and decided to replace it for my other Ativa mouse, whose right button sometimes sticks but that has never failed me otherwise and that looks much cooler with a blue light on the top instead of red.
  
• Booked a Super Shuttle reservation to pick me up tomorrow morning at about 0700.
• Transferred $500 to my credit card from my checkings account to have credit available for my trip(s).
• Will finish this blog entry.
• Will put my clothes together to do laundry.
• Will take all the recyclable trash to the recycling bins in my apartment complex.
• Will come back and get dressed for tonight.
• Will drive to the office and print my boarding pass for tomorrow.
  
• Will drive downtown and go to Sky Lounge for several hours.
• Will drive back home.
• Will do my laundry and pack my bags.
• Will find out if I still have time to sleep some before the Super Shuttle gets here tomorrow.

I guess that's that for this entry. Oh, I'd like to post an image too. Let's see... maybe one of the sunset pictures? And one of the plant ones too...
