THE WEARY BLUES  

Droning a drowsy syncopated tune, Rocking back and forth to a mellow croon,       I heard a Negro play.

Down on Lenox Avenue the other night By the pale dull pallor of an old gas light       He did a lazy sway …       He did a lazy sway … To [...]

One of these days …

… I’ll figure out if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that my musical tastes seem to coincide with that of a large number of women I know …

No right to privacy at the border

Laptops fair game for airport customs searches

Customs agents at U.S. airports don’t need any evidence of wrongdoing to search the contents of passengers’ laptop computers, a federal appeals court ruled Monday.

Reinstating child pornography evidence against a passenger at Los Angeles International Airport, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said [...]

Is it just me?

Or does it really seem like Wild Oats has really gone downhill since Whole Foods took over?

A lot of items I considered to be staples aren’t really being carried anymore; and the quality of much of the rest seems to have declined.

Just another day ...

Video Poetry (Silence Edition)

JOY DIVISION – ATMOSPHERE

Walk in silence, Don’t walk away, in silence. See the danger, Always danger, Endless talking, Life rebuilding, Don’t walk away.

Walk in silence, Don’t turn away, in silence. Your confusion, My illusion, Worn like a mask of self-hate, Confronts and then dies. Don’t walk away.

People like you find it [...]

Mired …

I’m mired in a pretty deep funk, and I don’t know what to do to get out …

I want to quit my job.

I want to sell my bikes.

I want to simply disappear …

Instead, I think I’ll go try to get some sleep.

Quote of the Day

“For it is not inertia alone that is responsible for human relationships repeating themselves from case to case, indescribably monotonous and unrenewed: it is shyness before any sort of new, unforeseeable experience with which one does not think oneself able to cope. But only someone who is ready for everything, who excludes nothing, not even [...]
