              XSLT Divisional

              Flames always original

              Like the dr. jekyl man and this is my hyde side

              I am the driver and you’re on (the other side of the screen I guess...?)

              I said fellas (yeah)

              Why don’t you tell DoubleD what y’all wanna do

              We wanna ooh-ahh to the XQuery ooooooooh

              Just remember where you heard this [pop-chartin' [pop chartin'? Let's try 'chart-toppin' instead] track first, K?

              Welcome back DoubleD! Seems while the rest of us were yackin' it up you were hackin' it up cuz' with what I've seen so far, I'm diggin it...



























































              Um. The post is over, why you still here?

              HELLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Why you still staring at my screen!!??

              You in shock?

              Hmmm, well, while you deal with your bad a$$ catatonic self I'm going to go play some more with the DataDirect XQuery engine cuz' like I just said, it seem DoubleD's back, although I really don't think they ever left us from a quality of software production standpoint and instead they became an easy target given they were the only ones out there trying to drive up the stock in what really is a good programming language that everyone else was playing down... and, like I said, this really is a really good implementation from what I've seen so far... So, good-on-ya DoubleD... Welcome back to the XSLT:Blog family... we [we? while there are undoubtedly those who just proclaimed "I knew there was more than one person inside that head" I assure you its just me... quite possibly five of me, but they're all me ;)][1] missed ya' (although I guess I can't blame ya' for wanting to ignore this part of the blog-o-sphere for a while.. ;)]

              And in case anyone just has to ask... No, no one has paid me a cent to say this! Get over it!

              Enjoy your (DataDirect XQuery-enabled?) Day! :)

              [1] : If you find yourself wondering what I could possibly mean by that and how such a statement separates me from a schizophrenic then you obviously are having troubles with what a schizophrenic person is in the first place. We all have different moods, different times where we are just a different person than we normally are. That doesn't mean that we all then are schizophrenic. schizophrenia is a disease that cause us to quite literally believe we are somebody different than who we actually are, changing into these people at various times and at for various reasons. Don't take this the wrong way... I don't mean this as a rant nor have I ever been concerned that others fear this as a possibility. If you know me from more than this blogm from a truly personal level you already know that I'm just someone who loves life in whatever mood or situation I happen to be in presently. I do get the occasional believe that "he must be high on something... you can't just be like that all the time without help from the medical profession, street pharmacist or Walgreens inclusive" to which I will respond with a .. actually by now half way through that sentence I already stop paying attention to you so I probably won't respond at all... Here's my secret... when your'e mad, get it out and get on with life... when you wanna sing, sing loud and if necessary purposely offkey just cuz' its fun... when you want to cry... CRY!!! And when you're around people who are constantly feeling the need to drag you down, run as fast as you can as far away from them as you can. You don't have to put up with that shit, so don't. Let them be miserable on there own if thats what they choose to be, but don't let it effect who you are because of how they are.

              When I say growing up with five sisters has had an effect on me, I truly mean that... you try spending that much time with that much estrogen and let me know how easy it is to simply learn to let your emotions out when you have them... its a great philosophy which fortunately as a Man I have the power built in to get over the emotion fast... Women? Well... lets just say there were times I would come home and before my hand even touched the front door knob I could sense the tension of the drama contained inside and found ways to quickly remember that "thing I forgot I was supposed to do that one time and just remembered it so I better go do it now before I forget..." Trust me, when theres drama, turn around, walk away, come back in a few hours and show immediatte worry and empathy, nodding your head and say "wow! you're right. I am so sorry" and wait until they leave the room. Do this and in 5 mins (+the several hours away from the drama) your time will be yours again... Don't do this... youre now a new pawn piece in the new chess game of the new drama.

              Theres a real reason I am 33, unmarried, with no worries if it never happens. Why? Because I know better. In fact, all five of me know better. :)
