We Should See Other Blogs

• So, the slides at church were 1000% better. They were even pleasant to look at. Remarkable! #fb #
• I really don’t much like Lorelai Gilmore that much. She’s way too selfish to even be a real person. #

• Ubuntu is an African word meaning “I can’t configure Debian”. #
• “Jacurutu” in Dune, a seitch forbidden to everyone; “Jacurucu” in Earwa, a forbidden warren used for a time by the imperium. Co-incidence? #
• Hello world. #

• The internet has become very boring to me. #
• I am approaching lunch like a war-painted Scottish rebel. #fb #
• That’s a lot of work for $1500. Maybe we should re-think this client. #

• New tires! Yay! #fb #
• When people try to make small talk, I talk about roadkill. “How you doing?” “Not so good, I hit a family of ducks this morning.” #
• A whisky-guided bomb would be the greatest and most useless invention ever. #
• Good morning, all my Twitter people. #
• What a frustrating day. Things done improperly the first time coming back to haunt us again. They never learn. #
• AHAHAHA the tools were on his desk the whole time! #
• My day has gotten better thanks to some unexpected levity. #fb #
• I feel really, really tired right now. I need a siesta. #
• I have a strange pain between my pinky and ring finger. I hope I’m not developing joint pain. #

• I think the epitome of maturity is picking the orange popsicle first. #
• Why is Gwibber not posting to Identi.ca like I want it to? #
• Nevermind, I’m stupid. And good morning, everyone! #
• I wish, I just wish, I could have a conversation with a salesperson that doesn’t have too many words in it. Even my own sales staff! #
• I you have multiple job descriptions, you’ll end up neglecting one. It just happens. #
• I want Thunderbird 3 to come out sooner rather than later. #

  <– New song. Tell me what you think! #
• I’m sorry that the the econo.me sermon series has ended; there’s a lot of stuff to be said about finances Laura and I are still chewing. #
• I imagine someday living in a place where airplanes aren’t constantly flying by. Are there still places like that? #
• Thank you, SMASNLE. The subject of Melchizedek has always fascinated me. He’s a priest of Yaweh before Israel exists. Interesting! #
• I guess Mel means that there must have been some sort of “cult of Yaweh” in the ancient world before Abraham was called. #
• Jake Penate’s “Everything is New”… really catchy, some good hooks, I’m liking it so far! #
• I guess I find it interesting how the worship of Yahweh happened between the garden and Abraham, in a historical/procedural way. NERD ALERT! #
• It’s really strange that the Catholic Church, despite its faults, is the prime example of how to glorify God in art and architecture. #
• I’m kind of glad TV season is over. It leaves some more free time, but also gets me used to not having something to watch all the time. #
• Japandroid’s “Young Hearts Spark Fire” has the sweetest guitar tone in the history of today. Or yesterday. #
• Here I am, at work, doing my thing. #
• I’m re-listening to “For Albatross” and realising exactly what it needs. It needs structure. It need something completely different. #
• I never really got what the deal was with DMB. Is there something there that I’m missing? #
• A day later and Grizzly Bear’s “Two Weeks” is still by far the best song I’ve heard this month. #
• Why are washrooms not made wholly of stainless steel so they can be steam-cleaned automatically? This is what I think about in public loos. #
• You Americans and your crazy holidays! It’s like an echo chamber in here. #
• I’ve switched my scrobbling from Last.FM to Libre.FM. I wish there were a way for me to collect my own stats instead of sending them. #
• I hate it when you email/FB/Tweet/etc someone and they don’t respond continually. It’s not *that* hard to type a quick reply. #

If I were to write a graphic novel, it would start like this:

There is no-one left to fight. I have killed them all.

I am on the wrong side of history. The mundane victories of simply being alive have become my sustainance. There are no more villians; we don’t make them anymore. There is no more evil; we have forgotten so quickly what evil is. What evil can do.

We are ashes. We are remnants of our former glory. We are tame and satisfied and glad of it.

I sit above the city, looking down. I am a shadow. Obsolete. There are no more villians to fight. There are no more heroes to fight them.

Except for me. I live to fight another day. Only… which side will I choose?

You should remember this day. Write it down.

The first day I haven’t been sure.

Wrapped in swaddling denim,
tender security,
you are measuring
fantastic new barns–
tomorrow, finally, the thing,
the thing, the half a thing and
tribulation over–
naked tomorrow barely hidden,
your heart typing furious,
libidinous novellas,
eye to the vacant knot,
staring through the veil–

Tomorrow, a stranger
closes your eyes.

New song. Take a listen. You might like it, as I’m not singing in it at all.
