The Midnight Bard
"And why do you play?"
called the Apparition to the Bard.
He merely smiled,
strummed,
and carried on his way.
The notes of his simple tune
lolled behind the night;
Playing and frollicking amidst
the crickets
and
the cars.

That's a nice, well worded sentiment. It made me smile.

they do have many secrets, or maybe they just make us think they do and they really don't?
Not dead yet children, though not for lack of trying. Worry not for me, I am the Phoenix' other egg. The one they speak of only in the silence of lightless nights. I am Alheuresus, he who is forced to wander, never to know that final rest. I am the Wulaguru, the Devil Devil Man who pursues the fool that created him for all ages....

Try THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY I and II. Also, try listening to the late 60s group THE GODZ. Whatever gods you are trying to appease should dig those things.

are you coming bowling on friday( read my journal for details)? what is your vote for the after bowling get together place?
My grandmother has died. She was 72 and fighting cancer for the last twleve years. When I saw her this past Christmas she still looked like she could outdrink me.
She was the toughest woman I have ever met.
She might also heve been the best.
My grandmother never judged me, never scolded me, just used to laugh at my hangover or burnt out state...

Somedays, the wanderlust hits me hard.
Days when I say to myself, wha the fuck am I doing here, and almost, almost, decide to just grab some notebooks, a handful of dollars, and a couple of pairs of socks and just walk away. Where? I don't know and it doesn't matter, just so long as its new.
This is the reason I don't have...

Ah, it's nice to see you in a good mood.
Suffice to say, there is no snow in Savannah today.
No snow at all........

off topic from the Neuromancer thread so I'll post here:
I agree as far as Gibson's recent work. I love it when the 'cyberpunk' fans bash Gibson, Stephenson, Sterling, et al for straying from their 'roots.' I mean it is great to love someone's work, but do some of these people expect a writer to churn out razorgirls and sarariman scenes for two decades? Idoru is a classic as far as I'm concerned and I am sure Pattern Recog. will be the same. mass market pperback, where are you?!?

finally, i give you...

Thanks for the comment hon (hug) And sorry I've not been commenting on ytour writing - sadly my life is leaving me very little time for such pleasures. There's even a novel by a friend that I've not read and I've had that in my inbox for *months*!.

so, i bought a phone today. finally moving more fully into the digital age.
i hate phones.
and this one is smarter then me. it sends e-mail, connects to the net, recognizes me voice... and takes pictures. which means that as soon as i figure out how to work it you unfortunate souls will get to witness the horror that is me.
be afraid.

His cover version of Limp Bizkit's "My Way" appeared on the soundtrack for "Titanic". The pope himself thought the song crackled with energy but he didn't like the sound of burning preschoolers in the background!

Bought a new chess set today. My last one suffered an accident involving my younger brother and a second story window. Oddly enough, quite a few of my possesions have suffered a similar series of accidents. If the little fuck was not as cagey as he is, I would have killed him long ago. Well, that and the fact that I am the prime suspect...

Chess is a tough game. I don't have the skill or talent to really be any good but it can be a nice social game if done right - you could try to encourage friends to play through that. Or not if that's not your bag.
I appreciate the support and comment hon. I wish I could do more to help you but I guess just being vaguely here and leaving comments might be enough. Well, a start.

you know what? go out, right now, find yourself a nice fattened oxen and slaughter it. bathe in its warm entrails and viscous blood while dancing naked in the snow amid the conifers, all the while the scent of blood and death and pine and life flood your nostrils. let the bite of the cold remind you that you are alive and your...

Aloneness can take many forms. There are people around here who care, surely?

am feeling particularly crazy tonight. horrible awful things are stalking me behind my closed eyelids. if i keep them closed for too long they will find me. they will come tearing out of my occular cavity and i will be blind and alone with the horrible things living inside my head.
i think i am going to go find a crowd and close my eyes...
