Who are the ordinary people
why don't you ask them?
They'll say extrodinary
join me in a hymn

who are the ordinary people?
extraordinary.
You wouldn't ask them.
They'd wonder
what you're doing
they'd wonder
what you're doing

Who are the ordinary people?
Why don't you ask them?
I think you know why you won't.
So they won't think your a jerk.
So that you wouldn't be rude.
They're all extraordinary
they're all extraordinary

How much of too much is enough?

How do we remember to forget?

In a blog it's good to delete and leave things in the past. They are still available but not at the front.

I worry that the transformations would be too sweeping. If you look back a long time on this site you can find all the junk that I posted even back to like 2004, some of it. Some of my content is even older than that. And it is all free for me to use and for you to enjoy when I link it in.

well . . .

I think I've blogged enough today.

"I'm all blogged out."

~ OK Now.

Praise God! awful first novel lines:

After only a week in LA, . . . [ . ?. . . ?]

What a slippery slope
to be sliding down
pretending to know about things
of the long ago
and carrying on with words
that, strewn along the page,
really only serve as a form of paint
over hardwood banisters
rolling a paint roller on it trying
to make it all new again.
for a moment
and then he sees it.
It is washable

she doesn't.

OK, I've actually got somewhere to go.

how hard is it to use these new symbols in your stuff? Well, first you need to know that they exist. Second, you can just cut and paste them.

I've got a message for . . . Mr Bash (an alias for someone else). Mr Bash, if I use brace expansion with the dot-dot idiom, ie like this:

echo -e {🌃..🌅}{🌍..🌏}{🌑..🌚}" "

why does that not work when

echo -e {🌃,🌄,🌅}{🌍,🌎,🌏}{🌑,🌒,🌓,🌔,🌕,🌖,🌗,🌘,🌙,🌚}" "

will? Maybe I've not ordered the elements properly. Well that little snippit doesn't work that well but t

Clang pans, demanding excellance. He dreams of her like that. He snuggles with her in his mind while he dreams. She is in the far away.

Once
when the wind came just right
the tiny bug
jumped from the flower
to the next and
never a spider
nor a bird but just
sweet pollen
ah, living!
that tiny bug

Once
he tried to remove the
first person
from his blog but
it was implied
as if the third person
that he used, a third person?
no? you are joshing? you

I know that you really do
understand.
Ah . . . see  . . . try and not

the 'I' and
it gets me

thought "I'll just
 put qoutes around it and
  then I can ride off
 on the steed of sanctimony off to
those foggy grounds and marshes, a
secret garden,
meadow flowers on a rainy day weighted down heavily.

But she is.

Use your mind
to be kind
