Life Why Are You So Fucked Up?

Ever wonder why this life is so messed up? I sure as hell do! I don’t get it. I mean we’re here for a reason…maybe. I don’t understand anything about it though. I wish I did, it would be nice to be able to grasp something about this life and not simply expect it to be here whenever we need it to be. Yet that’s exactly what we do! We expect life to be here for us and we don’t want to give anything back, talk about an annoying thought process. But what are we going to do about it all? I don’t know. I wish I did, but there are so many things in this life that don’t quite make sense at times, and we are here trying to make sense of them all. It sucks, it really does. But what else are you supposed to do about it? I don’t know.

Babylon 5 - Am I Supposed To Hate Byron?

 

Seriously, am I supposed to hate the character of Byron? I mean him as a character itself, not the actor of course. I'm not sure if he ended up being a martyr or not. With that gas explosion on Babylon 5.

He was kind at times. He didn't want people killing in his name. Violence was not his way it would seem. He was saddened by what he did to the "mundanes" at the order of Bester.

Now I don't particularly like Byron, in fact I enjoy Bester more than him. I can't explain it, I just do. That's how I feel about the whole thing. Bester intrigues me. Sure, he's a pain in the butt to everyone he comes across, but there's something about his character that I enjoy. But this article isn't about Bester now is it. No, it's about Byron.

Maybe if we would have gotten Byron earlier on in the series, more stories to make him progress I would enjoy the character more? All he wanted was a better place for his people. He and the other teeps like him were played by the Vorlons. They were basically manipulated to be telepaths to be used later on in the war with the Shadows.

He was a rogue telepath. Someone who didn't want to follow the rules of the Psi Corp. Even though those rules were placed in order to protect telepaths. I can understand an organization like the Psi Corp existing to a degree. Some of their tactics I do not agree with of course, but I can understand regulating telepaths, so they don't become a danger to others or themselves. At the end of the day, maybe Psi Corp did more damage than good.

Was it Psi Corp that made Byron the way he is, or mundanes that did it. Makes you wonder at times just how all of it works out.

So, in the end, I don't know if I'm supposed to hate Byron or not. The actions of his people, do they reflect on him as a leader? Seems they went against his wishes. So maybe Byron was innocent after all. Just another teep looking for a better place to live where no one could bother him.

Schizoaffective Disorder

I want to say it first began in High School when I thought I was trying to beat the devil. Now when I say I was "trying to beat the devil", I mean I actually thought I was hearing the devil speak to me at night and that I had to find some way to overcome him. Looking back I should have sought professional help then. I remember telling a friend about this experience, and he looked at me like I was nuts. Talk about craziness right? Yeah something like that. I believe my first mental break was when I was serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints . I wanted to go home so bad. It could have just been homesickness . But...there was something more to it. About halfway through I was just done with it all. I had had enough of rejection and wanted to go home. But I was afraid that I was unable to because I would simply be told no . I know that sounds silly to people. But that's what happened. I didn't b...

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

ColdFusion

So recently, I decided to include ColdFusion in my Linux setup. I was going to just run Tomcat and install CF that way, but well I decided against that route and installed ColdFusion 9 using the regular methods. It's been running quite smoothly if I do say so myself. I of course don't have the installation instructions anymore. Oops. I suppose I could Google for them again and make a copy or something. But well if my server ever crashes and I have to start all over again, yeah I'll worry aobut it then. FOr now, not so much. So here's my current setup: MySQL PHP Perl ColdFusion 9 Yeah something like that. Not too bad if I do say so myself. Of course what else would I say about it? You know I wouldn't ever say anything bad about my own server setup. Well unless I already have, if that's the case. Oops. Disregard that blog post. So yep, I think I'll have some fun with all of that for sure.
