I was just thinking it would be nice to have lists to manage the blogs I’m following here. Some people post daily, others multiple times during the day, and others infrequently. It would be nice to have a tools to filter through all the posts.

Early Morning Thoughts While I Should Be Asleep
Reading email (or most anything) late at night doesn’t tend to return me to sleep quickly. Rather, my mind awakens, engages, then wants to learn more. Knowledge is a vibrant engagement for me.
Moments
Flash,
Hand lunges.
Strike!
Momentary grasp for power.
Momentary…
Power touched; flees.
Power’s gone, mist:
Angry vacant god.
Emptiness returns.
Desperation’s emptiness
Resumes its
Ice cold
Fury.
College Majors
Oh, I feel this pain…
Early Morning Dread
Fragmented beauty,
Soul shards lay motionless
Upon a steel floor.
Night
Darkness lurks upon the farside of my window.
Orange red splotches force through the murk,
Showing much too little.
Too much hidden for those seeking safety.
So much away from the accountability of eyes.
Sometimes selfish longings,
Sometimes the drive to cause pain.
Whether avoiding guilt or capture,
Night’s blanket an ally.
History & Predictive Text
Predictive text will add a new challenge to the historians of our future. Before, reading through journals, we just muddled our way through the occasional misspelling or illegible word. Now, we need to be ready for strange word transpositions. Words appearing at random. Historians will need to incorporate an understanding of querty, and the possible mis-adjustment contemporary predictive text programs can use for substitutes.

Failure’s abrupt edge,
Perhaps not downfall, rather
Rebirth of my hope.
Sharing Stories
Starbucks created this video featuring LA Artist Brady Smith, which I discovered here. Very nice piece.
