They don't know why they're protesting!


I love cartoons.  From Reddit, so not sure of source.  Tell me, I'll credit.

The scope session is not enabled.

I struggled with an application.cfc that was not giving me a session scope. I was wrongly putting

<cfset this.name = "appname">
<cfset this.sessionmanagement = "yes">

inside of the function onApplicationStart.

Those settings have to be inside of just the component tag as

<cfcomponent disp...

  <cfset this.nam...

    <cffunction name="onApplicationStart" ...

Once I changed it, everything went better than expected.

Record-High 50% of Americans Favor Legalizing Marijuana

Read this important Gallup Poll concerning the turning tide towards marijuana legalization

What about you?  Does it matter to you?  If it doesn't matter to you, you should just say yes.

According to the poll, if the people with no opinion just said yes, 54% of Americans could vote and change the world.

Reduce the prison population.  Stop the imprisonment of non-violent marijuana offenders.

Song to Someday Write

I'm a gum wrapper and someone ate the gum,
not sure what to do now that my job is done.

Song to Someday Write

The prettiest girl in the greyhound
Better not go anywhere.
Cuz when she arrives, she'll probably find
She's not the prettiest girl there.

As Moments End

I imagine people at the end of their lives are shaking their head and thinking 'I thought there would be more time.'

I have been given unique opportunities to have special time alone and with each of my children.  Sometimes an hour, sometimes a day, recently weeks.  Before the time starts I have grand schemes and plans for how we will spend our time.

Yet, as moments end, I am caught perplexed at the briefness of it all.  Beyond the cliches and the standards, I shudder at how quickly things are over.

Because of these feelings, I do not want to move to another house or put in more hours at work or make my manicured lawn the nicest on the block.  Instead, I want to sit where my children are sitting, be where my wife is, and experience our moments together.  This is my satisfaction.

Beginning the end

I am off sick from work today.  This post serves as proof that tomorrow there will be a talk.  The talk will be about extra hours and effort.

Sinus and Pain - Sudafed

What a difference a drug makes.  The troube with taking sudafed is how I have to caffienate myself all day to counteract the drowsiness.

So today was four cups of coffee in the morning and five hour energy in the afternoon.

I would write more but I think everything just wore off at the same time.

Disillusioned

I think I have this.  Or that is, I think I am becoming this.

Cynical and crass people of my past, get your i-told-you-so's ready. I almost think I can handle them.
