Updating Mentat
[Mentat],
Yes, I’ve been talking to a lady from New York since late January. Nothing going on there however, beyond friendship. I’m still looking.
Have been doing some in-depth study of Evolutionary Psychology. I’ve found the information unsettling. For a while, it made me question my very mission in life and wonder if I shouldn’t come up with a more fruitful [one]. But I’m past that. Things are going well once again, and my purpose is clearer than ever.
I’ll give you a call soon.
By the way, did you know that John Britzki passed away in March from a massive heart attack? He is survived by his brother, and Rosalie Keating – John and Rosalie lived together for some years before his death.
Also, [Tad's] wife was in the hospital for 20 days a few weeks ago. Apparently, she’s got some sort of blood disorder – she almost died, and was on a ventilator for most of that time. Now, she’s not able to speak loudly yet – presumably due to the ventilator pipes being in her throat for so long. But she’s getting physical therapy in Johnstown. No word yet about when she’ll be going home to Pittsburgh.
Now to Winamp: Winamp gets its CD information from Gracenote. Sometimes, copies of a CD have different CD Ids, even though they’re the same album. Perhaps this is why Gracenote reports that it has the Jethro Tull CD but Winamp can’t find it. Gracenote may have the album listed under one CD Id number, but the copy of it that you have doesn’t match that number. Thus, Winamp doesn’t find it. In order to get around this problem, you can add an entry to the Gracenote DB for your copy of the album, and then, subject to their approval, your new listing will appear shortly in the DB, and Winamp should find it then.
I’ll look into [Jim]. I thought he graduated from the school as well. [Korro] did not graduate from WPSB. He left there in seventh or eighth grade. This list has only graduates.
Hope all is well for you. I’ve been more depressed than usual the past few months. In February, the dissonant voices of mid-life crisis reached quite a piercing din in my head. All sorts of conflicting thoughts of how to live my remaining days, uncertainty, nasty dreams, and over 400 rejections since January 1st from women, have made life difficult in the first quarter of 2005. But I’m weathering the storm okay. I hope I reach a point where it will seem appropriate to write all this down. I really believe it could help people, especially if I can emerge victorious in this struggle for happiness. At least it’s all in the journal.
More later,
