It seems this music is distracting me. Trying to decipher what this guy is singing seems to take some concentration. And the truth is, I just don't understand what he is saying. Damn British English! I guess I could always find the lyrics.
Apparently, my post the other night about Wikipedia got me a link to Wikipedia. That made me happy. It seems that not everyone is happy about Wikipedia though, according to this post over at Random Access Mazar some in the academic and library classes are not that happy about the idea of a chaotic information source. But for a person like me it's perfect, many a night could be spent picking up so much information (and hopefully some of it will be absorbed) that it amazes me. Of course at one point I kept my dictionary by the toilet. Not that it shows.
In the last week my thoughts have been turning to the past more than I would like. I really don't want to live in the past but sometimes it can be rather overwhelming. There is a former girlfriend who was very special to me that I've been thinking of quite a bit lately. The sad fact is, it's been over a year since I've talked to her. Of course it is most likely for the best but I still wonder how she is doing. The truth of the matter is that she has set the bar for anyone who comes after (which is completely unfair I realize). But it may not take much to reach that bar.
It's late and I'm out.

Speaking of not understanding someone's english; I've noticed your grammar slipping lately. Please re-read the first line of this post for confirmation. I think it's especially bad during the late night brown bottle sessions.
Wikipedia: Can't anyone update and make enties to that thing? That alone questions it's credability; although I still enjoy it.
It's tough when someone sets the bar, and it's eerie that you mentioned it now. I just had a conversation with my best female friend last night and told her that she had done just that for me (I used that exact phrase about setting the bar). I love her to death, but our relationship is destined to be perpetually plutonic. She is the coolest girl I've ever known and it's going to be tough to find someone for me that can at least match up to the standard she has set. I feel your pain, but you have to move on and keep your eyes open and on the horizon.

I fixed a couple of the more obvious errors but as you know grammar has never been my strongest point. And that sweet brown liquior doens't help matters.
As for Wikipedia: Yes, anyone can edit articles and create new ones. The hope is that, if there are inaccuracies in the articles, someone will come around and correct them. Sort of a peer review process with thousands instead of just a few specialists.
Yeah, I try to keep my eyes looking foward but there are those times when I look back.
