the classifieds are so sad when read from
perspective of intention's goodwill; "They
need a good, safe home," rings so softly as
to be passed by reader,
but is the hardest line to write.

sometimes you regrow roots

2008-05-30T12:40:00.002-05:00

Gave the kittens a bath each yesterday. Jack clawed and screamed, but Reluctance was calm and kind. Had to re-teach them how to play with our cloth-hangy-thingy. they eventually started pawing with it. they live in the couch, so playing, to them, has been alienated for 3 months. we must develop their sense of pleasure into an active happiness, rather than a fearful tolerance of Kitti.

purple passion plant had grown roots this week, but they buoyed themselves out of, and the leaflets into, the water. had to plant them right away, but the roots were so craned that they couldn't be in the soil with the leaves above. had to remove one leaf and the bend to put it back into the water to regrow roots. trying to save the split-off leaf, too.

Sometimes you have to stay tuned in as to not miss anything as anything is what tells you the story; sometimes you have to look away and know you are missing something, something that may change your view, so you know that what you knew and what you will know may be closer than if separated by what you now know, even if you are allknowing.

Where Young

2008-05-24T18:06:00.001-05:00

We are young, you and I;
the epitome of style,
justified by our place
in society's higher.

We are young, you and I,
and spend many breathings
of our hearts without
seeing one -others' movings,
though know we are
but voices away,
in feelings of warmth
long past any normal home's
bedtime.

We are young, you and I,
here to be as fore-thought
memories: the times
in change's grasp
as seasons looked
from distant past..

and I hold these times,
as real as you,
and know they are
but many in few
fleeted glimpses of
what makes us Us
and who we are
as who we were
before.

Sorry for the disjointed style; it doesn't flow for me, either. The message is out, though, and I can rework it later.

eating a pb&j

2008-05-13T12:59:00.001-05:00

i'm eating a pb&j which is on rye and made with spreadable fruit (blueberry) and natural peanut butter (the oily kind). it's ok.

candi has this thing where she eats rye bread, and i love it, but it's hard to fit the slices into the takealongs rubbermaid containers for sandwiches. the containers are square, whereas the rye bread (cobblestone) is rectangular. very odd. i guess corners can be lifted and it will be okay.

candi just called from work and i loves that girl.

2008-05-12T21:57:00.001-05:00

i'm happiness today. she brightens many aspects of this life and i thank her as much as i can for it. i love you, candi!

2008-04-24T00:29:00.001-05:00

i feel like i'm flying away from wherever i have been for quite some time. these past 6 months have been nothing but an epiphany as to who i am, who i am capable of being, and who i am STRIVING to be.i never saw these worlds i live in now when i was younger. they seem distanced now from where i see myself as having been then/they, following a strange vein i had never invited myself to witness, allowing me to be someone i had once shied from for fear of being too me. i struggle. that's why i am. i wake up after a 5hr nap and see my surroundings, i see my Love, and i juggle the thoughts of getting up happy or getting up tired. the happiness wins most of the time, but the tired knows it can. i write best knowing words are after what i say. that way, you never feel tied to the next word, and focus on the following words.i long for pause and reflection, and can have such when i want.we know this yard is ours to be. she said she wants a garden. i love her and she shows me why every day. i have to go to her knowing i will always be with her. it is a comfort.

Hold yourself

2007-09-24T01:04:00.001-05:00

Hold yourself
in higher regard
than you can carry;
By doing this,
you allow yourself
to feel weightless
when you raise
half-way and
know you've
more to give.

I lower myself
to these words,
hunched and
cramped, I
give a relaxing
voyage from
thought to peck
but I never
leave them here, nah;

What's with that
sweet-bob of
body from
the music
left sit
on air,
to be
swum in
and dived toward;

What's the vocal/
verbal/viral
melody
swamping
my arms and
thoughts to the
sway of
the lightest dark
and
widest day?

Ah,
I love the cactus;
Who can love
that which
has too little
to survive
if not
for
it
be-
ing
who
it is/
you.

there is some bottom to these depths;

2007-09-24T01:01:00.001-05:00

there is some bottom to these depths;
i wonder if they follow my words,
or i follow theirs?

what follows
if not following
itself;
what draws
but inks,
leaving tints
about what may,
what june;
i follow these and hope
they wallow in themselves
so i may, afraid, away,
walk in thought around
and leave no impression
of the sole,
merely follow
and forgottten.

i wind my time in wanderings of the self,
though selfish that may be, i
find myself through these times,
and hope to be in them one day,
instead of looking out;
as though a mountain in movement
of the rushing rock,
held but caught in constance.

there is a gnat,

2007-09-24T01:00:00.001-05:00

there is a gnat,
which follows me.
he investigates
the lip of
toiletbowl
while i
release, and
he looks
inside, afraid
of stream
and floats
upward with
great haste
to avoid me;
i cannot help
but feel he
follows
in hopes
i'll soon be
deceased,
so he may
nit-pick
at which
side to begin devouring.

but
he follows me,
this friend,
and we enjoy
the blank scenery/
the mountainesque
landscape
of an apartment dwelling,
full-bright
with white walls and
wooden desk,
with brightest screen
in warm glow/
and i feel
he enjoys
this,
though wants
to be led out.

i can never sleep when i need to,
and need to when i can never sleep.

it's hard to sleep
when i know there's much to do
and all's ahead, while i'd rather not
wait, i'd rather go
and find my way in time;
it's much less a worry
of missing, as a knowledge of
more;
i'd rather go than stay here, but
i feel i'd be better with knowing
all i've yet to learn.

2007-09-24T00:53:00.000-05:00

i was deleting these movies
i'd never watch/the titles
making more of a stand
than their files' contents;
and,
upon deleting
the one entitled, "california,"
i noticed/
notched a sense of emotion
for the inevitable withdrawal
from all thoughts of moving there,
and this image,

of the girl
perhaps sneezing/laughing/i see her crying
and the man,
as i press, "yes," and
let all pass;
then, the second,
or the first of files,
shows him lonely,
and i feel he is me.

but,
he could be travelling,
lending his time toward
some other endeavour,
one which may lean him to
aisle,
ready to remove himself
from this vessel,
instead of perched
upon the window's cold
steel,
waiting
to find where you may look back
and believe that was the best place to be.

you looked at me today,

2007-09-24T00:51:00.001-05:00

as if to say,
"everything is okay."
and, then, i knew all
would always be.

Received this link through Reddit. Peter Callesen's (http://www.petercallesen.com/) work is quite thought-provoking. From the 3D-from-2D modeling to the spooky shadows of some pieces, these artworks are a look at pure beauty. It's amazing to think that, perhaps, each image put on paper was taken from the cutout around it, creating a sort of realistic play of shadow and object. All are amazing, especially the house and the snowballs, the skeleton and the man, and the tomb and the Halloween-ish skeleton dance.

windows vista drivers always goes to windows update

2007-07-22T09:43:00.000-05:00

i don't know what i did. perhaps, through my infinite tweaking-dumb, i've stumbled upon a rare case of, "make vista always search windows update for drivers, and no where else." every single time i plug something into my computer, the drivers are never found at windows update. i blame a constant ability to buy niche gadgets and clearance items.

how to make vista find drivers (working!!!!ilovedemonoid):

1. allow windows to find the drivers itself, or try to. when failed, select, "Browse my computer for driver software," and continue.
2. in the, "Search for driver software in this location:," box, put, "%systemroot%\system32\" (without quotes). Also, check, "Include subfolders." Hit, "Next," and all shall be right with the world. Driver installation takes a while, but, when/if found, the drivers work almost better than those found in manufacturer setups, simply because the fluff is removed.

Do be knowledgeable about what you're doing, though, as I, nor any partner of Microsoft, may be held accountable for your actions. I always wanted to say that.

Be well and prosper.

JOHN KENNEDY WAS A MAN

2007-07-20T16:23:00.000-05:00

In the spirit of its mission statement, “The French Will Never Forget” (www.thefrenchwillneverforget.com), organized an extraordinary gathering of approximately 2500 people in Omaha Beach, Normandy for July 4 th 2007. The crowd formed on the sand the letters of the phrase: “FRANCE WILL NEVER FORGET”, aimed at honoring the fallen American heroes who scarified their lives to liberate France at the end of WW II.

The United States Ambassador to France, H.E Craig R. Stapleton and his spouse attended the event along with several American and French personalities. They all joined the crowd on the beach and actually helped form with many other people the letter F of FRANCE.

“Our goal is, once again, to demonstrate the deep respect and gratitude of the people of France, for their recovered freedom thanks to America’s extreme sacrifices during the Second World War and which no one can, or will ever forget.” declared the co-founders of the organization.

The site of Omaha Beach was chosen not only for its history, but also because of its symbolism. The beach is located nearby the main American cemetery where thousands of American soldiers who died in this war have been laid to rest.

Prior to the event, there was a ceremony at the cemetery of Omaha Beach with the US Ambassador to lay a flower reef and honor the memories of the heroes fallen there. Numerous representatives of local and national organizations, as well as French and American veterans were in attendance. Arnold FRANCO, famous US veteran who participated to the liberation of the Eiffel tower flew from the United States with his three grandchildren to attend the whole event.

The whole event was filmed and photographed from two helicopters and just released to major television and newspaper media in the United States, France, and other countries (in 2003, over 125 US and French TV channels reported on this organization honoring with a rose each of the 60 522 graves of all US soldiers fallen in France) .

The event was made possible thanks to the generosity of hundreds of companies, associations, and individuals, such as ALTOUR, AMBER CAPITAL, CALYON, DASSAULT FALCON, NATIXIS CAPITAL MARKETS, SOCIETE GENERALE, and VEOLIA to name only a few.

About The French Will Never Forget (TFWNF) (www.thefrenchwillneverforget.com):

This non profit organization was founded in 2003 by 4 individuals, Paul Bensabat, Jean-Pierre Heim, Patrick du Tertre and Christian Millet (Presidents and co-founders of this association). The committee in France is composed of Olivier Brane, Emmanuel de la Taille, Anne Colombe de la Taille and Jacques Noel Bilet.

This program is one of the very few grassroots organizations with the objective of reinforcing at all times the friendship between the French and the American Peoples and constantly demonstrate the eternal gratitude that the French people has for its American ally for the sacrifices she did during World war II to liberate France.

At the first event organized in July, 2003 by TFWNF, French children, townspeople, and soldiers all showed their respect to America by laying a single red rose on the graves of every one of the 60,511 American soldiers who died during World War I and II and were buried in France. Its second event was also a tremendous success. In 2004, with the help of others as well, the organization enabled 100 United States war veterans to travel to France to be awarded the Legion of Honor by the President of France. In 2005 the organization single handedly financed a commemorative trip with first class accommodations for 10 WWII US Veterans, last members of the platoon who liberated the Eiffel Tower. Two of them were awarded the Legion of Honor by the French Defense Minister. In 2006 The French will never Forget continued its efforts by participating in person and financially to several ceremonies awarding the Legion of Honor to several US veterans, this time on American soil.
