Something's Awry...

Sometimes I like to challenge the ... how do I say it without using the key words ... the impenetrable curtain that prevents me from enjoying cyber-based social freedom.

How do I challenge it?

By attempting to go to places on "the other side." You see, I'm currently VPN-less. Indefinitely...or, at least until I can afford to renew it. So for now I have to live "on this side."

But the grass is greener on the other side. So today, after seeing a blog in my blog feed (I can read the texts on my google home page but can't get to the actual blogs, can't see the pictures or videos), I decided to click on someone's video. And it attempted to play, then told me that an error had occured.

I was frustrated that my hopes had been lifted, only to be smashed. So I copied the URL and tried to go directly to the video site...which has been on "the other side" for a very long time. And, to my surprise, the page loaded. Not that particular video, but I was able to watch a different video (ironically, a Chris Tomlin one...though not a Lent one). Strange.

FB-still a no-go.

Someone's personal blog- hey, it worked! My own personal blog-hey, it worked too!

So what do I do? Get on my blog and blog about being able to blog! ...but it won't last...something's awry...there must be someone important in town...or someone has left their "desk" for a bathroom break.

Goodbye, greener grass...hope to see you again soon...you look nice. But, you know, grass is just for looking at here...it's not for walking on. ;)
