weekendend

the weekend runs out so fast
but monday has a charm of its own
for it's the darling
of random rants

ginger-ale,non-alcoholic, with a sprinking of pepper

The Smiths - Heaven know's I'm miserable now

watching and re-watching 'The Big Lebowski'

life is what happens when you're planning for life, they
say.

nobody has all the answers. so they say.

beware of going too far, or you might end up where
you started

it's difficult when you know there're others watching

as a kid, I had a book which had two stories. The second was
'The Magic Carpet' by Vladislav Krapivin.
It is the story of kids who find a magic carpet and have loads
of pure fun and then grow up out of it all. The carpet stops flying.
Until another kid discovers it. Heartbreak wrapped in a gentle
silk.

The first story was called 'The Pilot for Special Missions' -
( thanks to google. I'd almost forgotten all about the it )

I have the book at home. But it doesn't have the magic when I
read it now.

But.

Vetrogorsk, here I come.
well, not right now, though.

a fine comedy
this grey of uncertainty
but with hope
also a tapestry

wordsnatch

The trouble is, getting into "the zone" is not easy. When you try to
measure it, it looks like it takes an average of 15 minutes to start
working at maximum productivity. Sometimes, if you're tired or
have already done a lot of creative work that day, you just can't
get into the zone and you spend the rest of your work day fiddling
around, reading the web, playing Tetris

now that is music to my ears. eyes. whatever.

echoes

defense begins with philosphy

dere peeps

more apologies.

On a different note, mebbe I should call myself 'The Apologist' and
probably write a hit single by the same name which will top the pop
charts on U.K Billboard , unless someone's already done so, in which
case, of course, I will release a 'cover' of the number a year later,
sufficiently 'cover'-ing by changing the electric piano into an accoustic
one and getting a female vocalist to sing the originally male lead .

And oh, my group will be called Pepper Creek or CyberThud or
Laser Umbrella

A wiser man than myself once said, "Man is born free, but
everywhere , he is among monkeys".

But I digress.

one more experiment, aimed at all those wonderful other peeps with
their absolutely wonderful sites.

Like the other wise man said ( people tell me he's more of a wise
guy ) , "On the other hand, we have other fingers"

you'll need a password before you can comment.
of course, I'll let you know what yer password is when you comment.

but you can comment incognito. like if you want to say stuff like
"dude !! you're the dude !!" and were too shy to do so, well
you can go ahead now

( though I can't figure out why one earth anyone'd ...,
but well , you can )

wal then, my dere peeps
Thank you !! & Come again !!

Free speech is an ideal. Registration is free too.

grafiti

a J. Krishnamurti joke -

You may remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. The friend said to the devil, "What did that man pick up?" "He picked up a piece of Truth," said the devil. "That is a very bad business for you, then," said his friend. "Oh, not at all," the devil replied, "I am going to let him organize it."

the dude abides

yeah, he does

wha...

why is the eternal divine
the hungry child waiting to be fed
the mother of knowledge

what,where,how is the trivia
which time almost always proves otherwise
the sisters of knowledge

when is a spine of history
the story past, and to be

how ? don't ask me, I don't really know ...

oddly

trap it in a word
and watch it lose its meaning
slowly

or

leave it alone
and watch it dance away

or

forget about it
and know it come and sit on your shoulder

On a different note :

"plans that often come to naught
or half a page of scribbled lines "

can't

seem to think of anything to say. Seem to have run out of .... wait, was it words ? nope
the speaking apparatus works excellently - it must be the other one - the one that supplies
the words that's not working. btw
'The meaning of liff' is a dictionary by Douglas Adams and can be found online. It consists of words that you always wanted and never had.
The 'Congo' book is a whole lot better than the movie.
William Gibson introduced the word 'cyberspace' and wrote his first few tales of hackers and cyber-punks on a typewriter - he hadn't, in all probability, seen
a computer at that time.
Ta then, off to search for a missing part
