the internet is back! that's the wonderful news of this morning. a technician came around early in the morning and things were all better curiously quick. all he did was change the dsl modem to one he brought, then put back the original dsl modem. nothing else. and everything's fine. *sniff sniff* i smell something fishy. i bet something got fixed outside the house or on the company's end before the technician came inside the house.

oblivious to those around me in need

the image to the right was taken while i was eating lunch in my car under a freeway as a homeless man naps next to his shopping cart. (the quality of the photo is too poor to really notice the man's reflection.) my lunch breaks are often spent this way. i feel bad about not sharing my food with him or offering him something but then again i'm not making any money right now. i listen to music in my car and i try to keep it down as to not disturb him. i suppose it sounds really weird that i'm trying not to disturb a homeless man with my music, to be courteous like that yet not talk to him and offer him some food.
