short notes:
will brady's ruminations
over at my livejournal site
I've written about a number of different things at the LiveJournal site middletown landmark marred; the fire at O'Rourke's Diner in Middletown, CT
the thin line between entertainment and war: a mention of Rage Against the Machine's new music video "No Shelter"
who caused the war in iraq? Chris Matthews goes Hardball together with Iraqi War Vet Paul Hackett [who ran unsuccessfully for Senate in Ohio] force a young Texan wannabe political hack Van Taylor to answer questions about the relationship between AlQaida and Iraq ["none" according to G W Bush] instead of mouthing empty sound-bites.
a reminisce about Baz Luhrmann's advice ~ Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)
More on abandonded mental hospitals and about Bill Mello's adventures in unoccupied institutions.

weblog adaptions
I'm trying something new with my public writing. After taking a look what I've been posting here I see that much of what I write about, while based on personal experiences and situations, is not, in and of itself, personal. Over time, some regular readers have asked why is this. Tell the truth, that's just the way it is.
But the personal often impacts on what I write; indeed, it can have a direct bearing on the content from day to day. So I'm going to give a go at writing more personally [
which is not to say the content will be intimate, I'm just not so inclined to share everything].
Rather than muddy the philosophical waters, so to speak, I chose LiveJournal to host this other side of my persona, mostly because the material I've scanned on other LoveJournal denizens tends to be more of a personal approach than many I've perused at Blogger. That, and it provides a distinction between the two. You can find this component of my wanderings at
Rondacker's LiveJournal Diary. I've already added a link on the right in "My Websites".
For those of you who have been stopping by for years, don't be surprised to see archival entries to provide a context and give new viewers a better sense of my values and who I am.
