Just outside the beltway in Alexandria, Virginia,
keinZeit is a name contrived from the German words,
keine meaning no or none and Zeit meaning time.
When I lived in K-Town, Germany and would ask a question, the usual response was, "Entschuldigen Sie...habe Ich keine
Zeit." [Fourth Reich Germans keep busy with shorter and
shorter work weeks, more and more state freebees, all that angst and no time
for silly questions]. KeinZeit means no time or not enough time. There's no
hidden connotation. If you live this close to DC,
there's just not enough time. Distance is measured in time and not in miles. KeinZeit
is more abracadabra than gestalt. It's part truth, part deception and part
outright lies.
I prefer keinZeit over keineZeit because it has eight characters and conforms to the old 8:3 name:extension
format. This page looks like a
scripted blog, but it's hand-coded in a text editor into what remains of a pre-built template I ripped off from
martijn and is hosted on a
FreeBSD box I rent from Uwe Schneider at
Alpine Web. Sometimes I screw up the
code. I do everything the hard way. Old can be good. Maybe you can't
teach old dogs new tricks but they still remember how to bury their bones.
I
will vote for George Bush again, so if you're a Stalinist, just
click through to another site
because you won't like what I blog here. I like
sex, bodybuilding drugs,
classical music and the idea that
each of us can be a heroic being. I support the
Electronic Frontier Foundation with money and I
believe the "Spirit of Justice" statue should
always be shown in full tit. I suppose that makes me a free-range Republican. I smoke non-filter cigarettes,
don't wear socks and freeball in my Levis. This is my
damned manifest destiny; that's the American way.

Redskins fans chose paper bags at
food stores throughout metro DC today. Drubbed 0 — 20 by the Carolina Panthers
on Saturday night, all the Skins did was stumble, fart and fall. Season ticket
holders plan to poke eye holes in the bags and cover their faces so they won't
be recognized at televised games.
