Commitment

I was awake last night.

I was naked with another human being, together. Yet all I could do was stare at the ceiling, and think of others.

Other people, other places, other times occupied my mind last night. No matter how much my partner wrapped herself around me, my mind was on other things

Why do I do this, why do I wander in such a way as to take me away from my present arena.

Why is it when I read the news my wanders to fantastical steam engines and weaponry.

When I am alone with my partner, why do the thoughts of others flow into my eyes, entrancing me with their beauty.

When the present demands my attention, I go to the nostalgia of the past rather than dealing with the realities of the present.

I have no answers for this, I may never have answers for this.

Rant: Kindle problems

I must pose this question to Amazon in the vain hopes that someone with any kind of power to affect anything will read this:
How come I cannot read my property on a device I own.
I am speaking of reading library ebooks on Kindle, and the public domain archive that google now offers. The library system that I use most frequently, the King County Library system, has an ebook program that should for all intents and purposes work on the kindle. There are scripts out there that allow you to do this with the relative ease of a root canal, but they work because they are essentially the same file type as what amazon is selling.
But the library is public institution paid for with our tax dollars, making it essentially public property, which includes the ebook licensees they hold.
Why are we ranting and raving over a device that ignores a feature that almost every other device in its class has?
