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, . . . [ . ?. . . ?]

I tried to carry on with the facade of carrying on
driving off to nowhere land over and over and over hoping
that you would be available and not moping
sad  sack junkie lack out back in the sugar shake with a spoon and a rake and a two year old jake
that is fake and he make you wait and wait and wait.
It's something he can get off on, hold out for it, let it last until he needs it done and gone.
Then shoot it in the head.
Isn't it dead yet?
Why do you keep texting me?
Can't you understand that junkies
don't care if you care?

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

The following poem is fresh, whipped up, off the cuff.

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 
really do understand.
I know that you really do
understand.
Ah . . . see  . . . try and not
be
using
the 'I' and
it gets me
oh me oh my he
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.
She
will not be home.
But she is.

Use your mind
to be kind

Wake up!

Wake up!
