He delivered Christmas trees
Santa said he was the bees knees
Eightclip with your headlights bright
Off to chop my pines tonight

Hey...

What do you do? Do you dig ditches? Do you make coffee? Do you work in an office? Do you wire cable? Do you network computers? Do you deliver newspapers? Do you intern at a company downtown? Do you sell clothes? Do you sell and deliver Christmas tree's? Do you intern at a film studio? Do you still go to school? Do you sell old records and shirts on the internet? Do you make corporate video's?

I get paid to make bands look good... But I've done those other things...


I'd like to try and be a short order cook... just to try.

Thought.: A Retrospective

Blog. She's right you know... Its ugly and it keeps those who would normally love the "Blog" experience from enjoying it.0 This is just yet another example of where those without verbal creativity have defined a new word for the English language. Created and coined by the type of person who is probably most unqualified to do so. Thats how we get "Blog", which seeps into our world, and infests the smallest factions of our feeble lives. Until there are doctors and lawyers, CEO's of Fortune 500 companies, and most of all news reporters all participating in... The Blog.

Worse yet, it has started to become common practice that some news reporting information comes from... Thats right. Blogs. So while you sit there thinking that "Blogs" are a worthless bits of information about someone else's life... Think about the social ramifications of the word that is so ugly it makes you think of nothing but Star Trek and fireplaces. Think about the countless thoughts and idea's that come through the mind then die right there, and think about the time, effort, and clever insight that can be shared just through expression of thoughts and idea's over this information superhighway. Then think about the how the blog and this technology has changed the world.


Well maybe your right, most of it is probably just useless information about someone else's life.

Thought.

Blog. The phonetic ugliness of the word has long hindered me in beginning to do so. Also the grammatic slipperyness, just exemplified, of this icky-sounding verb/noun. Like bog. Or worse still, jog. Derived from web-log, understandably, but personally I would have preferred e-log, somehow more elegant, like elongate, or in fact something without log altogether, a word so strangely reminiscent of Star Trek and fireplaces.

Haiku for J. Eightclip (with silent syllable)

Random wordplay still
Becomes enough to bind us
Across six thousand. (miles)

In The End

I suppose it was true, because what everyone said
was the choice you made in the end.
and if this is how its going to be, then it'll have to do.
but I will say good bye to this, just like I have said it to you.
