Two sides to every story,

I watch as the sunlight flirts with the trees in the afternoon. I watch all around me the day breaking as it should, this seems familiar, everything feels warm. I see it touch her hair, the ease of her laughter touches me, a maddening peace grips me stronger than the melancholy of old years ever could. What peace I might find if she was mine, I wonder if she’ll ever know this moment was ours? I should like to stop and say hello, tell her of this secret world we’ve created, but she would just smile, I just nod and smile as I go, so too goes a little world.
Everything feels like home just now…maybe she already knows.


It’s a maddening world she’s been brought into, and I wonder after whoever it was that had the courage, or the audacity to bring about such events. I wonder if I should like to do the same, is it selfish at this point to create a life? What is it the world needs more of? Humans, or understanding. Certainly the latter is in prime depletion, only we are attempting to fix it with the former. The equation is lacking, and sorely at that, I suspect. This is not going so well, this human experiment.

The cerebral pantheon, in a nutshell.

The following, unlike most everything else you will ever be told, is completely true. Really, if you sit and think about anything for long enough, expand on any one single concept, focus in on any given idea--you will eventually realize that whatever it is you had in mind is absolutely trivial, completely pointless, and horrifyingly absurd. Devoid of all meaning Do not do this. This is the opposite of living. This is inaction. Life is in action. Go now, you, the living. Live.

Responding to Senator Gillibrand, RE CISPA

Senator, This is the same flawed thinking which allowed for the Patriot Act, with it's robust capabilities to infringe upon civil rights, and it's pittance of terror related convictions. The bald faced truth is that for the foreseeable future no state or government will every sufficiently be able to defend against cyber attacks of any degree of sophistication, as evidenced by the repeated and incessant attacks perpetuated by groups both private and state-sponsored, by us, against us, etc. Citing danger as an excuse for infringing upon the rights and liberties of innocent and law-abiding citizens is never excusable, though it is done with an ever-increasing and frightening regularity. This is not as you say striking a balance, this is the eroding away via legislation of the basic rights of privacy otherwise afforded by the US Constitution. With all due respect, until those elected in to power realize it is not theirs to wield, but rather to shepherd, on behalf of those who...

34th Street

I am flying weightless, born again in this concrete cocoon. The water is all about me, and yet it lets me be, it sets me free I hear Gideon twirl, the guitars whirl to the beating of drums, underneath these streets I can feel the tunnel walls hum For the moment I am alone, I with me, in the company of the thoughts I keep, my own strobe-light symphony while the city sleeps. Beauties, your tales of Spain leave me in stitches. We are amazing, we were years overdue! Happiness, these waking dreams, find my worn out soul, scratch whatever itches. Seven am never felt so alive, the sun gives me a sly look as it opens it’s eyes. 34th street, positively.
