ENTRY # 474 The design has changed again. Do let me know if theres any kind of strangeness, or if something is missing, or if theres something you’d like. Im contemplating putting my blogrolls on a separate page under “LINKS” (see the top). Itd make for a cleaner design and Im not sure how often people use my roll to get to other places….Also, out of sight is out of …
ENTRY # 94 Royby has an on-line survey about blogging. Help a researcher out. (The professor has spoken). Ive been blogging for two months and change now. The survey asks some questions such as, “Why do you do it?” I answered succinctly- addiction. To put my thoughts down. Through time, to find the patterns of what is important to me…and recently, what is important to others. Recent conversations through comments …
ENTRY # 93 I awoke to the sound of the dog barking. It was a hot a humid night. Normally he likes being out, but not when it begins to rain. Unfortunately, it was in the middle of a bizarre dream. I crawl on my belly like some soldier under fire over blades of words and sentences. They stand upright like blades of grass. They crunch under my weight. They …
ENTRY # 92 I check out the numbers at siteMeter to see how many people may have visited in a given day, and my thought is always the same — I don’t have this many friends. So that begs the question, who are you? Howd you get here? (Really. Not a rhetorical question). Culturally, what Id be doing is offering you food, and a place to put your shoes and …
ENTRY # 91 George says this in his entry “Be Like the Squirrel”… Now, if this blog were a novel, the following would considered a clunky and obvious metaphor. The house is empty, the yard is overgrown with knee-high grass and weeds, and the neighborhood has clearly taken a turn for the worse. But this blog is not a novel, and the dilapidated state of the house signifies nothing beyond …
ENTRY # 90 Aidan, is so Filipino in this particular aspect. When someone lifts a camera, he flings himself in front of it – usually with tongue out, or doing moose horns, or… My cousins? Someone whips out the Nikon and its like that last scene in “The Longest Yard”, in slow motion I can see them running their hands through their hair, leaping over babies and furniture, fixing their …
ENTRY # 89 There are various states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. You know where you are in a particular state, most times, because you can see or feel it. But theres a transitional period. For example, water looks like water a long time. You add flame, and it looks just the same…for a long time. But whats happening, in reality, is that while its potential energy looks like …
ENTRY # 88 Good morning, Worm your honor. The crown will plainly show The prisoner who now stands before you Was caught red-handed showing feelings Showing feelings of an almost human nature; This will not do. … Since, my friend, you have revealed your Deepest fear, I sentence you to be exposed before Your peers. Tear down the wall!
ENTRY # 87 Married for 8 years. Together for 13 and a little more. And today, we are learning how to talk to one another. So hard to break out of our set call and response. Easier to be silent, than to speak aloud. So hard to trust that words falling from my mouth will be the right ones…or maybe that there are no right ones. Some words just need …
ENTRY # 86 Just because it made me laugh out loud.
