\"20060105deadbird\"<\/p>\n

YES… that IS a dead bird in the photo. It doesn’t fly anymore. Just like my website. It’s busted, broken, dead. Well, not really dead. But I like the dead bird picture anyway.<\/p>\n

So, I was trying to update my website on New Years Day and guess what. I ran out of server space! You know what that means, right? Can you say “database corruption”? Can you say “impossible to update journal”? Can you say “SCREWED!”? Yes, I am screwed. I can’t back up everything I wrote for the last several months. I’m going to have to do it by copying and pasting manually, entry by entry. Can you say “there is NO time for that right now!”?<\/p>\n

Actually, I’m not even supposed to be writing to all of you right now! You see, I started an online sociology class yesterday. It’s a normal 16 week college course crammed into 16 DAYS! Oh yeah! There’s a smart idea! Let’s fry students brains! Let’s give them two full text books to read, five papers to write, four exams, daily quizzes and daily forum postings to respond to. Let’s drive them to the point that they wish they could fly full speed into a window as the most fortunate little bird in our photo!<\/p>\n

Don’t worry. I’m not wasting too much time right now. I’m printing information on Auguste Comte and W. E. B. DuBois. You know those two dudes, right? I have to read about 30 pages on these guys and then write a comparison of them… in only two pages. I guess “condensation” is the key to this course.<\/p>\n

Okay. I gotta flimp. That’s flying with a broken wing. (What? If you walk with a broken leg you limp, right? So, why can’t a call flying with a busted wing “flimping”?) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
