Paint
All the paint on the canvas these days lands in a pattern. Or maybe it’s just me seeing patterns where there are none. But isn’t that all a pattern is, a self-created, self-perceived organization identified over a period of time?
I’m not painting, I’m paint-throwing. Ergo, consistency.

Very Best Work
Run in the cold and let the chill bite me. For them. For her.
A command, “Attack!”
Feel the bites of a thousand inanimate abstract killers. They are everything. They did.
Let out a sob, the deepest, loudest, gasp in despair. Blink through the tears to put on my sweater to fight off the cold.
Please don’t let them hear me. Run away for shame of the noise. Don’t...

To Fail
There is a future me in a world where I become wealthy and well-known.
I see that future me kneeling at the grave of the other future me, who failed to live up to a standard because she spent so many hours of the day dreaming and loving and cooking.

"Sorry for myself"
Lonely again, and confused. This is the first time I’ve wanted to lay down on a patch of sand and let my body fade into it as the waves wash up. So confused. And sorry.

Let it go
This is the most real sense of contentment I’ve experienced for a long time, if ever. It isn’t any one factor in particular, it’s like my life as a whole has coalesced into a form I can recognize. That form is so familiar, but it’s always been hazy and poorly defined. Now I seem to be able to reach it with my fingers, trace its features, respond to its expression.
And...

de nuevo
In Spanish ‘de nuevo’ means ‘again’ semantically, literally it means ‘anew’.
I am getting comfortable with it.
This is the one place where it does not matter if I try harder. Perform better. Anywhere else that’s all that matters.
Here all that matters is if I try again. If I am willing to love ‘de nuevo’, no matter how many times I fail. ...

long quiet
what is the sound of a long quiet between two friends when it finally breaks?
Awake in the morning
Ideas. in the morning. at dusk.
what an awesome weekend
Labor Day weekend. Quite cool. Got to see Blue Man Group tp the audience, hung out with my friend Josh before he headed off to NY state. Coded with Adam, then we ventured out to Newport and hiked around in the woods at Norman Bird Sanctuary. Finished off that day by coding a badass (for me) python shell script that saves gobs of work creating dummy events for the website. Today is a bit of a...

Bouncing Emoticons Make Me Happy
me: by the way have you seen this new emoticon
\m/
I hadn't before
Sarabeth: What is it?
me: someone told me it means rock on
3: 53 PM like it's a hand
Sarabeth: Oohhh... I see it now
me: yeah
I want to use it but no one else understands it either
Sarabeth: I like the way it bounced up and down
me: it bounced?
Sarabeth: Well, once you've educated everyone, then you can use it
me: right
Sarabeth: Yeah, it bounced up and down a few times
me: no kidding?
my IM didn't show that
Sarabeth: Yeah, type it again and see what happens
me: \m/
yeah for me it doesn't
I'm using Gtalk
3: 54 PM are you on Meebo?
Sarabeth: Yeah, it squished together and then it bounced. I'm using Gmail
me: that's sweet
I should turn mine on
just to see it
Sarabeth: Does the toungue turn out and turn pink when I use this? :p
Cuz, I love the pink toungue
Am I misspelling that horribly?
me: I'm turning on Gmail right now
Sarabeth: All, the emoticons move and do things in gmail. It makes me happy

Ragers
I’ve had the weirdest people driving around me lately. The other day someone was behind me at a stop light. The light turned green - the oncoming lane had a left turn lane, so the SUV in back of me pulls forward into this **oncoming left turn lane and gets in front of me. At another red light.
Then, like the day after, I was at another stop light - two lane about to become a one lane. I...

sci-fi dream
me: had an interesting dream last night
I was pretty aware in it
it was kinda sci-fi themed
Mike: want to tell me about it?
me: yah
just seeing if you had time
it was interesting
set in the future
people are living on massive ships on the ocean
no longer on the ground
(which is plausible due to global warming, etc)
9: 05 AM and there are these people who've developed the ability to perform a sort of magic
they can alter the course of events over a timeline
not quite time travel
but they can change their own reality based on this ability
to different degrees
9: 06 AM some can make bigger changes than others - like go back farther in time
9: 07 AM and they find a weapon that will allow them to control people
and then one person in particular can alter the timeline really far back
and he introduces the weapon back then to himself
9: 08 AM and then the reality he's living in now changes drastically
to be - get ready
you there?
Mike: ok
me: ok
9: 09 AM it's a land of Care Bears
Mike: lol
me: and it all breaks down from there
but they're mean Care Bears
it actually does continue
maybe they're better described as Ewoks
9: 10 AM they're little fuzzy mean animals
Mike: no I like Care Bears better :D
me: intelligent
and the thing is he's there with these other people who could control the timeline
because they're the only people that remain constant throughout the flux of the changes
9: 11 AM and they can't hurt the animals or even touch them
but the animals can touch them and control them with that weapon - they have it now
so the people get all scared and have to figure something out
and then the dogs started barking and I woke up
so I didn't see how they got out of it
9: 12 AM something to do with going back to the water though
because the animals are on land now
in this modified present
but the people are still expert at being mariners
9: 13 AM so interesting hunh
I have such elaborate dreams
and this one was near total recall
Mike: you should write it all down
me: I just did
like where?
9: 14 AM oh btw there's a sub plot with one of these people on the ship in the beginning
being bullied by a superior and using her power to get back at him
that's how it opens
in The Future
me: oh ok
just wanted to see if you'd be around
no worries
2: 13 PM well stop by if you somehow find yourself with time and opportunity
otherwise I'll talk to you in The Future
Adam: will do... IN THE FUTURE! :)
Great scott!
