It's the year of Ox. Don't buy any bullshit

Humptie dumptie sat on a wall
Humptie dumptie had a great fall
Harry said it's NOT his fault,
and it's not your job to mend the wall.
 Some people create fire
Other people built firewall
I can hear the screams
who's playing --
a Chinese fire drill!

y'all, watched this 'Kinsey: Let's talk about sex' last night. The picture's got 3 Golden Globe nominations for best drama. The most dramatic and moving moment, IMO, is when Kinsey interviewed his preacher father to contribute in his research on American sex life. Kinsey says I haven't yet known one case among all the males we've interviewed that didn't touch himself in his adolescence years. His father says: 'well, you are looking at one now!'. At the end of the scene, Kinsey says 'I am so sorry. Father'.

Yesterday was the Obama no drama day. I shouldn't bring up anything other than 'race and sex'. His speech was profound: to care and not to care. So how much should I care about a fucked-up 'private' interface on a new internet portal in violation with this gentle agreement ?

So if a Chinese porn site's internal IPs are assigned Obama whitehouse's 'official' IP#, and on a fine day, a chin-chin router took a leak on the wild wild west, are we sure what is going to bend at where?

So how many of you have that weight on your mind that your internals are taking someone else's end and can sleep tight at night because those you work with all take the stand 'it's been like that for more than ten years. no worry. you are not accountable for anything.' I don't know which part scares me more.

In that Kinsey movie, Mrs. Kinsey said "I heard that Rome fell because people took too many baths in a day".

By the end of the day, what will you do besides throw up your hands and pray:

I do not hope to turn again
I do not hope to turn
desiring this man's gift and that man's scope
I no longer strive to strive towards such things
Why should the aged eagle stretch its wings
why should I mourn the lost power of the usual reign.
 Because I know
"Increscunt animi, virescit vulnere virtus"?

btw, I do have a problem with this good neighbor of mine's report on 'Building Asset Based Telecom in the Shadow of Mt. Everest. Throught out his report, he couldn't tie any name but the devil 'Maoist' who "blew up repeater tower between Jiri and Lukla cutting off Namche (elevation 3446 meters) from communication with the rest of the world'. And his hero, by the name of Tsering Gyaltsen Sherpa reconnected Namche with the Rest of the World."

That is a biased coverage, I can smell it by the naming protocol alone.

Epilogue
 A poison Tree'
 I was angry with my friend,
I told my wrath, my wrath did end;
I was angry with my foe,
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
 And I water'd it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
 And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,
 And into my garden stole
When the night had veil'd the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree.
 -- William Blake
 * Triple Bronze
 The Infinite's being so wide
Is the reason the Power provide
For inner defense my hide
For next defense outside.
 I made myself this time
Of wood or granite or lime
A wall too hard for crime
Either to breach or climb.
 Then a number of us agree
On a national boundary.
And that defense makes three
Between too much and me.
 -- Robert Frost
