Or my other favorite… “when you’re older”

Life is funny that way, because, they were right.

I can’t unlearn what I know or erase the memories.

(Freaking nearly photographic memory)

I’ll never forget the softness of your lips

Or the gentleness of your fingertips on my skin.

It would have been better for me to never known

Because it’s all I have now, memories that torture me

My soul bleeds for a few moments more

Screaming to revisit that angelic time

I held you in my arms

Addicted to a sliver of the past, forever gone

Never to come again.

A weight was lifted, a crush realized

With the final blow, ending it all too quickly

I would have given you all that I had

Hoping that it was a dowry almost worthy of you

With the slim hope, that all I am would have been

Enough for you to say yes?

While I want to be happy for you (and I am, sort of)

(I’m always on your team regardless)

Because I want you to you to be happy forever

(even if it’s not with me)

But my spirit weeps alone, because I wanted to be

the one your happily ever after was with.

“We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about … when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.

We are far too easily pleased.”

C.S. Lewis could paint a picture with far less than a thousand words.

Hurt

What have I become,
My sweetest friend,
Everyone I know,
Goes away in the end,

And you could have it all,
My empire of dirt,
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt,

I wear this crown of thorns,
Upon my liars chair,
Full of broken thoughts,
I cannot repair,

Johnny Cash’s haunting voice seeps into the corners of your soul.

“Truth, what is truth?”

Pilate’s famous question of Jesus…right before he allows him to be crucified.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart,

Mind and Strength.”

“Do unto others as you’d have them do to you.”

Jesus Christ, when asked, what the greatest commandment of God was.

This is not a religious blog, though I am a Christian.

I’m just a man…thinking about Truth

And knowing Truth is simple and isn’t relative.

That’s the hardest part…the torture if you will is

Knowing the right thing to do it and doing it,

Every time, when even when I think no one is looking.

(just like I tell my kids to do)

Thoughts?

If you watch this video and don’t cry.

You’re dead.

This is what TRUE LOVE is about.

Why is it “wrong” to be nice?

Our world has lost its “niceness”.

Why is it always the “wrong” guys that say all the right things?

When I hold open a door for a strange lady, isn’t sad, she’s surprised?

Or worse, that some don’t have the courtesy to say “thank you”?

Where has chivalry, manners or common courtesy gone?

So would blame our “faster pace of life”. I’d call BS on that.

150 years ago, if the crop or hunt failed, you starved; today life is a bit easier.

So, if it’s not a faster pace of life, what could it be?

Is it because it takes more effort to be nice?

Again, I know being mean sucks more energy out of me than being nice, even though I’m not always nice.

I think sometimes it’s easier to be mean, for example, when I’m at Sam’s Club getting my dog food,

I’m tired of being questioned about my cable TV choices. I just want to get my damn dog food and go!

Is it because we just don’t care anymore? I think so…

And that is sad.

Here is the entire thread…

Ironically Cloud computing isn’t new, only in the 80’s did we move to PC’s, before that, in the 70’s it was all dumb terminals hooked to a larger server. So cloud computing isn’t a fad, but a return to technology (all things old are really new again!).

Smartphones and Ipods are an excellent example of common, consumer acceptance of cloud computing.

I think the better question is what factors could dramatically slow it’s acceptance?

1.  Will metered broadband be widely accepted in the US??  If it does and broadband costs grow significantly, that will have an adverse effect on the growth of Cloud Computing.  If the broadband carriers discriminate between types of traffic, i.e. “If you buy your cloud computing from us, we won’t charge you for that traffic because it’s on net”.  This of course is the heart of the net neutrality argument and an entire different thread, but it absolutely must be considered in the context of your question.  Cloud computing is absolutely reliant on affordable, fast, ubiquitous broadband internet access.

2. The quality of the services and price provided.  Cloud computing only makes business sense if it reduces costs, increases productivity, and is easily usable by the masses.  So far, it exceeds these requirements, however, as we know change is constant, the cable companies didn’t see Netflix (cloud computing) and Microsoft didn’t see the rise of Google/Android/Iphone. Who knows what the hardware providers will roll out for the consumer?  Their entire business is predicated on customers repeatedly purchasing  hardware though they are shifting more toward a license based model to grow revenues.

With the potential profit from a reoccurring revenue model, cloud computing will absolutely be marketed as the “better mousetrap” because people tend to pay a bill as long as it comes in and doesn’t surprise them with a large cost increase.

In conclusion, yes cloud computing is here to stay(actually never went away), but it’s final form will continue to evolve and it will look quite different in 5 years than it does today
