I hurt myself today...

Jamie pointed out that Johnny Cash's latest video, "Hurt" is up at Rolling Stone. I heard the song a few weeks ago, and was moved, but this is another case where images and music work together in a fashion that's so amazingly powerful. Cash himself has lead a colorful life, much has Trent Reznor, who wrote the original lyrics and song. This has such a powerful human message. And I've definitely been in that place, that deep dark place where Reznor and Cash have been.

We all fail.
We all leave people in the lurch.
But still we hope for better.

Morphology of a Monday

This morning was utterly surreal, in fact, that feared ultimate of mondays. I got to work a few minutes early, only to be bombarded with phone calls, emails, problems and general weirdness. We've got a new person tomorrow that we just found out about, and after the outrage and the desire to ritualistically end my life in a nasty fashion, we've gotten some of the details straightened out.

I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow, as this one has mostly been annoying. I will, however, be making some seriously good chili tonight, and will likely placate myself with all the endorphins from the peppers.

Update: Apparently, the colo facility we're using for our company webservers and mail gateway decided to switch upstream providers. Except that some other ISPs chose not to update their tables right away. Thus, many places can't reach our website. And as a result, our two mail servers/gateways aren't talking. For the record, this is Bad.

Kill me?
