south by southwest has destroyed all the websites that i usually go to. noone has posted because they're all bust schmoozing it up somewhere in austin, texas. i considered going, but realized that i didn't have the money to pay for the trip, or the desire to meet people who don't really want to meet me.

so i didn't go. jackie's going home for two weeks on wednesday, and i'm not sure what i'm going to do with myself. i considered taking time off of work, and going with her, but again, couldn't afford it.

eric's going to ohio in two weeks to visit with some friends of ours online, to meet them in person. i would have gotten tickets, but again, the no money thing prevented me from going.

it gets to me that i can't go anywhere that i want to go, to visit/meet the people that i want to meet, because of my lack of money. it's not like i'm poor, or that i don't make good money... it's just that the money dissapears before i know what heppened. bills. car payments. insurance. food. it's a vicious cycle that i haven't been able to conquer.

in other things, i'm making a commenting engine. something to assist dreamlog and databasejournal (whenever they get finished). along the same lines, using alot of the same code, with all the features of graymatter and blogvoices with a little or my own twist on the whole thing.

with no money to register a catchy new domain name, i used one that i registered a while back, that i had never found a use for. duodenum.net. (in case you're wondering, the "duodenum" is the last 6 inches of your large intestine. or something like that. mainly, it's just a fun word to say.)

maybe, this time, i'll finish something.
