THE POEMS I HAVE NOT WRITTEN

I’m so wildly unprolific, the poems I have not written would reach from here to the California coast if you laid them end to end.

And if you stacked them up, the poems I have not written would sway like a silent Tower of Babel, saying nothing

and everything [...]

EELS – THE LOOK YOU GAVE THAT GUY

I never thought that I could be so bold, 
 To even say these thoughts aloud. I see you with your man, your eyes just shine, While he stands tall and walking proud.


That look you give that guy, I wanna see … Looking right [...]

Summertime Blues

I hate summer. Yeah … I said it. I hate summer. Spring, winter and fall? Love them, but I can’t stand the heat of summer.

I’m pretty sure I’ve written somewhere in the past about how I seem to get seasonal affective disorder, but in reverse … I relish the winter, and always seem to [...]

Allegories of life …

From The Legend of Bagger Vance:

Bagger Vance: Fix your eyes on Bobby Jones. Look at his practice swing. Almost like he’s searching for something. Then he finds it. Watch how he settle this up, right into the middle. Feel that focus. He’s got a lot of shots to choose from. Duffs and tops and [...]

THE 88 – COMING HOME

Won’t you be safe Won’t you be true I lie awake just thinking of you I’m all alone Honey, come home

‘Cuz when you’re here I feel like myself And when you’re not I’m somebody else I’ve got it bad Honey, please come back

Because you need a place [...]

NOTHING VENTURED

Nothing exists as a block and cannot be parceled up. So if nothing’s ventured it’s not just talk; it’s the big wager. Don’t you wonder how people think the banks of space and time don’t matter? How they’ll drain the big tanks down to slime and salamanders and want thanks?

We’re on a “Road to Nowhere”

In yet another example that Sarah Palin is not the anti-earmark, anti-pork barrel spending reformist she claims to be, the Governor of Alaska allows a completely useless road to be built, just because the contract was already signed, an excuse that really doesn’t hold water. Contracts almost always have some sort of cancellation clause built [...]

VeloNews | Tech Report: The Campagnolo 11-speed Super Record group

In Feltre, Italy, this week, just 15km away from the memorial to Tullio Campagnolo at the summit of the Croce d’Aune pass, Campagnolo reintroduced its Super Record racing group.

Super Record was Campagnolo’s mystical racing group, but it has been decommissioned for more than [...]

Environmental Generosity

“Compassion has nothing to do with achievement at all. It is spacious and very generous. When a person develops real compassion, he or she is uncertain whether he is being generous to others or to himself, because compassion is environmental generosity, without direction, without ‘for me’ and without ‘for them.’ It is filled with joy, [...]

A Monday semi-commute

MotionBased Digest

Planned to commute in by bike this morning, but was running late for riding … but early for driving. So, I drove part way, over to Revolution on 7th East, and rode the rest of the way. Went just enough out of my way to get in about 5.25 miles this morning, [...]
