Think Deep
|
| |
How do you give purpose to senseless tragedy? How can you fully
acknowledge another person's painful sacrifice, then laugh and learn
from it. Imagine a boy falling into a pool and drowning. Imagine his
struggle. Make it worse. Imagine his brother trying to rescue him and
drowning too. Worse. Imagine their screams as the father of the two... more »

Ping Hi

Good Morning Hi-
I just visted your blog, and it doesn't seem
to want to load correctly on my ipad- the
header is missing.

P.S.
I love the new look.

Soft Openings
|
| |
Okay, so a Grand Opening is like when you have commercials advertising
your "GRAND OPENING" with all sorts of fanfare, and balloons, and
those spotlights like they have at Hollywood premieres and used car
sales and whatnot. It's like shouting, "HEY, WE'RE OPEN! COME ON IN!"
A soft opening basically the same thing. Open is open and an opening... more »

On Reading Dylan's Writings

Now that it's dust and ashes
now that it's human skin
Here's to you Bob Dylan
a poem for the laurels you win
Sincerest form of flattery

Psst
|
| |
There's this thing that's on my mind,
a word that rings. I think you'll find
my mind consumed. Presume to know
what all and why I'd like to show
You now just how that ringing word
Appears. It's clear to all who've heard

Terms of Angels voices singing
Praise. I raise my lance defensive... more »

Plumbers Smile (G. Gorlay)
|
| |
Plumbers smile, plumbers crack,
Plumbers often hurt their backs.
Plumbers wrenches, plumbers snakes--
Plumbers profit from earthquakes.
Plumbers plumb and plumbers bent:
Plumbers are all heaven sent.

Pipes (G. Gorlay)
|
| |
I work with pipes, I'm a plumber-
I twist, and I screw, and I bend.
Pipes. I'm a plumber. I'm dumber
Than a mule. With my tools I tend
To toilets and sinks and bathtubs.
I keep things flowing, and going.
And I can keep my mouth shut, bub-
Mum about the shit that's showing.
