Yep, now I'm glad I didn't stay up all night to watch the English lose to Brazil and the US lose to Germany. I woke up at half time, turned on the box for a minute, found out the score and went back to bed. Can't say as I'm all that surprised but I am saddened by the loss. It sort of felt like it was our year to go all the way. But nope, I was wrong.

Luckily, I've got baseball to rely on and its been a stellar season so far and tonight I get to watch my Giants play against my Orioles. As the O's are already pretty well out this season (Yankees and Red Sox in the same division means they would have to have the best second half in the history of the game to get to the wild card spot) I'll be rooting for the Giants to continue swinging the hot bats and whacking other teams. But the most amazing thing lately is the Rockies/Yankees series that ended last night at a football like 14-11. Previous game was 20-10 and the other game was a similarly high scoring affair. Average of 23.3 runs scored in each of the three games. There are lower scoring football games. I thought the humidor was supposed to keep the balls in the park?

Anyway, other inviso stuff added to the site today. Maybe it'll make a difference. But I've come to realize that this writing is largely unseen, unread and undone. Oh well, it'll be floating in cyberia forever so maybe in a decade or two someone will find it. I would like to get more feedback from what I write but its not the driving force behind the writing. Its more of an internal zen thing, a new style of writing that begs the soul baring of a journal but is a public exposition that requires some level of restraint. I mean, I never know when my mother's going to log in and read it, or my brother or sister or that guy I got in a fight with in high school or the girl who hated me becuase we dated for a little while and then I realized that I was much more into her best friend or any number of crazy Korean spammers who spend all day everyday surfing the web looking for random email addresses to send more bad spam to.

And yes, my spam count has been going up lately. Awful garbage that bears no repeating anywhere. I'm one of those people who forwards it to the server that sent it out and Yahoo seems to be falling waaaaaay down on the job. The same disgusting spam for the last three days from the same email address at Yahoo. If I ever do find a genie in a bottle who gives me three wishes, one will be spent on curing the world of spam. Something like, may every spam email sent out by a spammer be returned upon that spammer with a thousand fold increase. Of course, semantically it would have to be much better thought out and spoken otherwise all makers of that delicious food product of the same name would be buried in little tins of meat products.

But I digress and must be running cross tabs this morning for one of my editors at Computerwire. Hasta for now.
