hello everybody...
i'm back... after a long hiatus invoving an errant computer and a user driven to the depths of desperation...

everything's gone... i had to format the entire stupid computer... haha... i should extend my gratitude to the twenty or so diskettes that saved some of my more beloved files... such as all the music i ever wrote... thank goodness for that... if i lost all of that...
anyway... deepest thanks my thin... black... shiny disc in sturdy plastic... friends... for saving all that data...

speaking of which... i have learnt one thing from the entire experience... i now can navigate MS-DOS... and for those of you out there going huh... it's a testimony to the depth of this lost skill... so lost that many don't even know it exists... and i have it... bwahaha...

right... tired and losing my mind... what really happened was that i copied... file by painstaking file... all of two hundred megabytes of data... by 1.44 megabyte discs... i will never forget that experience...

many other things to say... but the flesh is too weak to continue...
i will be back soon... in the meantime... one of my favourites...


Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
But sad mortality o'er-sways their power,
How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
Whose action is no stronger than a flower?

O, how shall summer's honey breath hold out
Against the wreckful siege of batt'ring days,
When rocks impregnable are not so stout,
Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays?

O fearful meditation! where, alack,
Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid?
Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back?
Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?

O, none, unless this miracle have might,
That in black ink my love may still shine bright.

-William Shakespeare, Sonnet LXV
