D A L I F . C O M

When writing part I in the early hours of yesterday morning, I didn't think I'd have fresh material for part II this soon. I thought I'd have to dip into the vault of amusing anecdotes for future posts. But this story is just too far out to not tell while it's fresh in my memory. It started not two weeks ago...

Ok, might not be as grim an entry as the title promises. But still, being up while every normal person sleep, somestimes means you'll get to experience the not quite as normal people shine like glorious stars in the night.

 

 Yet another Unix flavor.

Sometimes, understanding yourself and your limits isn't a very easy thing to do. You think you can manage something, and it turns out you had no business putting yourself in that situation at all. Those types of events always take my spirit away. Sure I bounce back. I always do. But it still gives me something to think about.

Don't they usually say that the smile is the gateway to the soul or smile at the world and the world smiles back? Or some sentimental bullshit like that? I've found that the world only pretends to smile, but what really happens is, it is going to kick you in the nuts, as soon as your attention is diverted. Tonight, however, I faced a smile I wasn't able to ignore.
