Sorry, not a lot to say today ... just an addendum to what I said three days ago about my "nemesis":
Maybe my nemesis is the fact that I think I have one! I mean, start a fight with someone, and they will instantly become your enemy, right? That's Human Condition 101. No ... hell, that's Remedial Humanity 099, a not-for-credit preparatory course that should be for those people who run countries (but is, alas, optional). So perhaps my waltzing through life looking for trouble is always going to yield just that: trouble. Perhaps I am creating that nemesis just by thinking I have one, and then looking (and finding) evidence of it everywhere. And those people who otherwise wouldn't even register on my radar become part of the Frankenstein's Monster ... a patchwork quilt of unrelated people, events, things, and times all sewn together by my insistence that they must be somehow connected.
Not a conspiracy, perhaps, but maybe I make it that way through sheer conviction and determination.

Feh ... no, it's still not that simple: Nice people (you know, the "attract more people with honey" folks of the world) get steam-rolled as well, and have to keep girding the strength to go out into the world every day ... and they're no better off, are they?
OK, forget it. Here, listen to a nice song.
