Just showing up is most of life...


FarmVille finally came up with puppies, I bought a free one (paid for with 300,000 farmville coins, not FV dollars) and named him - you remember when I once said that I don't name my animals on FarmVille. Well, I did, and as I would walk the place he would follow around, and when I walked the neighbors' farms he would sometimes be there, and sometimes not. I thought maybe the farmer didn't like nor permit dogs, but then I checked the dog collar and found it wasn't my dog - it was the farmer's with a different name! I have been had, punked, made a virtual fool of... by software designers, ugh!

When I was very much younger, I was learning to play piano had a wonderful teacher, but I once volunteered to play a piece for the church we belonged to, and didn't tell my teacher, nor really prepare for it. So it was not only bad, I had shown up, but it was terrible that I tried and it was the total end of my music career. My teacher moved to Las Vegas and I stopped all music lessons, kept studying war. Much more reward for being anti-social.

Big weekend Appleseed Shoots, and it will be interesting where I am going, I could be the only instructor, only representative of the RWVA. Seems that there is silence from all the normal participants - could be they think I know they will be there, or could be they still aren't free enough to participate, could be they are working hard to keep a roof over their family's heads or many things. But right now I am talking to the only person that answers my mail - my self and he isn't sure about what is going to happen except that it will be the best he can make it.

Remember that old hippie thing "What happens if they give a war, and no one shows up?"
