Entry #14: Amidst the stacks

Sooooo... I am still deciding what to post about.  On one hand, the recent trend has been for me to wait a while and then cram as much information into a post as possible, which I feel kind of inundates the reader (if there are any); on the other hand, sometimes I think I should just pick the most prominent issues/views/etc. to talk about 

At this moment, I am sitting alone at a table in the cafe area of a well known bookstore chain.  Apparent is a common conundrum we all face, all having to do with the quandary between solipsism and real life.  I know I have mentioned solipsism a number of times in previous entries, but it has been a topic that intermittently plagues my mind.  Being one that supports the development of most technologies and one that celebrates how far they have come, I do realize that we as a society, in order to continue a more organic, or natural progression, should not entirely succumb to the smoke and mirrors visage of 'ease'  technology often provides.  This is in no way meant to be the beginnings of an anti-technology rant; in fact, I love technology.  I just simply refuse to let it run my life, so to speak.  But, I digress.  I do not want to sound too much like a hippie or one of those hipsters (they are pretty obscure, you have probably never heard of them).

"It looked kind of like a pearl..."
About two weeks ago, I had finally decided to get the cyst removed from my scalp.  Sounds gross, I know.  It was really an interesting experience; the procedure took only 10-15 minutes and the whole time I felt virtually nothing.  This was also the first time I had ever remembered getting stitches (beside that one time when I cracked my head open at a very young age, which I do not recall).  Well, thankfully everything went well and I had the stitches removed last week.  Now, if only there were a quick, easy, and healthy solution to hair loss...

**INTERMISSION** or as Paul Grayson would say, "Drink break!"
One pomegranate IZZE and sourdough asiago pretzel later...

Back from the dead
Well, to some people's chagrin, my website is fully operational once again!  It only took backing up all of my files, a failed full system restore, and a trip to the Apple Store.  Simple enough, right?  If you have not visited it before, feel free to check it out HERE.

Which reminds me, I now have another event to add to my online calendar: Musical Masquerade: A Night of Mischief!  It is a cabaret event with two performances that will debut at Pennsylvania Playhouse on Saturday, October 29th.  The theme of this cabaret deals with the "mis-casting" of players in roles that they would not necessarily get an opportunity to play.  Keep a look out for it, it should be a blast!

Well, I think this is a sufficient post for now; unfortunately my battery life has about fourteen minutes left, so I think until next post I shall bid a fond adieu.

One for love. Love for all.
Vince
