Sew me up, buddy,
all these leaking guts & stuff,
getting off my nerves.

Probably just need a new wrapper. That usually fixes the leaks.

Laboring through hurt
come all those times it doesn't,
like you as morphine.

oh oh ...I sense you need some first aid.

If I was a nurse, I'd tend to you immediately.

Black & white,

Being a sinful non-martyr, I'm a color guy myself...even kaleidoscopic when possible.

I saw your pictures,

I wonder if that's Janice or Scott?

I found out the model's name, but I'm too tired to look it up now.

Maybe Russian?

could be Russian, she might be too skinny

Or a vampire.

Or following style,

how tricky! A fair skinned and haired vampire...they seem quite rare. But she doesn't have dark rings around her eyes (sorry for the allusion, ring) so perhaps I need to suck a bit of her blood. Not too much, just a drop.

Speaking of: kappas (again)

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6...583xo1_400.jpg

you do remember that kappas are sometime likened to 'vampires', did you not?
only (minor) difference being is they suck your body dry by entering thru your anus, and then...
I don't know, I guess they get creative with those webbed-hands, and the beak.

Guilt without remorse
is like Deuteronomy:
Inserted after.

What's truly astonishing is that I tuned into ESPN for but three minutes, and I was surprised to notice that Tim Tebow is now sporting the "Kappa" haircut.

My pupils go big
for particular reasons
I can't even tell.

23x1=23

I bet someone turned the light on (not in reality, but in your MIND).

Perhaps the dilated pupils are to better catch any photons that have been travelling toward you for the last 15 billion years. It would be a shame to miss any of those.

Speaking of photons
we might have shared some thinking,
the lights & colors:

Black hats & red shirts
& less obvious symbols,
like right pocket pink.

Looks like the worst has passed. Here's hope for sunny days coming up!

I'm so unbearably sad.

(also disappointed I have not yet located that quote I was talking about a page prior.)

I tried to find that quote. No progress.
A book I read years ago had a chapter (sub-chapter?) titled: The gifts of melancholia

Oh yeah, it was Thomas Moore's - Care of the Soul.

Now I have that Soul Sister song stuck in my head.

Everything (read as: everyone I once knew) is fleeting.

I need a daybook planner. It's too hard to fly off the cuff anymore.

Or by the seat of pants, too?

I once promised to embroider wings on the back pockets of a pair of jeans.

So you remember
the fantasies inherent
in togetherness?

ring, you got the palindrome. They seem a simple pleasure, but I like them.


We got a new refrigerator today! Snazzy stainless steel trendy looking thing.

ring: I'm still playing around with the idea of starting a TLTE! blog, a public one, per your initial thoughts on why there was none... as well as one that inhabits the TFP - tandem-TLTE!-blogs!

Have you heard of Posterous? (FAQ)

I think it can serve us well, as there is no need to sign up, or join a group, or eve be connected to the internet (I thought I read they had some sort of telephone-posting feature, but how this would work, is beyond me).

I am very wary of starting endeavors myself, especially ones in which I know I cannot complete (I can start it, sure - but will I see it through?).

Thoughts? Should I give up in trying to expose the masses to the triumphs of TLTE!, given the fact that largely and without any hesitations, it's made abundantly clear that the community as a whole pays us no mind; and would mind not, as well, if we were to disappear tomorrow in a reverse-spinning tornado to whence I don't know some technicolored-rainbows mirage themselves into twine?

(I think I put much too much effort into conceptualizations, that when it comes time towards creations, I get anxious and nervous and yellow that it won't live up to expectations. I hype / psych myself out.)

Carl Jung's Near Death Experience is an interesting read.

Something about Posterous brought that to mind.

Here's to psyching ourselves in.

This thread has 199 thousand plus views, Jet, & I don't believe it's just the posters
reading. The audience is there....being quiet.

I think I look at this thread about 10,000 times a day, approximately +/-

In case anyone is outside tonight and the next few nights observing the Perseid Meteor Shower, be safe: wear proper meteor resistant safety glasses. I forego the hardhat, but I live dangerously and don't recommend that to the average person. http://stardate.org/nightsky/meteors/

Cicadas by day---meteors by night. Oh yes.

There must be handfuls & handfuls of cicadas in the woods,
but I only hear one at a time. They seem to be teaching about..taking your turn.

Taking a couple small turns,
'round meteor resistant glasses,
the cicadas are coming!

Oh my!

(2x3)+(1x3)=9

I've never eaten them yet, but it seems that if fried nice and crispy, cicadas might be a tasty treat.

My new favorite dressing is Trader Joe's Goddess. I love this stuff.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...food/12391.jpg

I bet crispy cicadas on a bed of nice bib lettuce with some sliced juicy tomatoes and drizzled lightly with Goddess dressing would be an awesome lunch. I'd have a couple beers with it.

I think I've viewed this thread at least a dozen times today, yet I only count 1 post to my name.

I drive it up. Through the road of statistical skewed analysis.

while I have you BadNick, I've been thinking about creating a new thread dedicated to you, of and pertaining to your loving flow for WAVES.

Any thought's of where you might want it - Nonsense, MP, Sports (very, very tentative)?

Jet, of course I think the WAVES thread is a good idea. I can imagine it taking interesting twists and turns and involving all sorts of varied subject matter. Not sure where it would fit, though. It can't be just photography since other media and art forums would surely be displayed. Not all would be sports. Seems like nonsense or playground might be the best fits. In case you're counting votes, I vote Nonsense.

I haven't forgotten the sports thing. I'm still looking into it and will decide very soon.

What sports thing - just now, or sometime, somewhere (else), previously stated?

(Oh, yeah. Just ticked.)

- - -

for the followers and dear readers of this monumental thread:

what sports do follow and hold a vested interest in? elaborate.

Oh, Batshit....

I like bats, but my sentiments do not apply to their shit. I get enough shit from my kids. But I do carry two metal bats in my car.

(2+3-1)+4=8

Sentiments for shit
would make you scatophilic.
I'd cry if you were.

I hate all one-word, no-thought threads.

Not "hate", but I just don't comprehend their appeal.

(again, I try too hard to "last" longer - a legacy, I'm trying to impart.)

Your blog is coming along nicely.

Sports? I used to like playing tennis when I was younger.
I haven't watched much these past few years,
but that buzz about the recent interminable match had me curious.
It was amazing.

Oh. yes.

I had forgotten to indulge my own inquiry.

I follow, admire and play (amateurly) the professional sports of tennis, the NFL, and on occasion, F1 (and American road course motorsports) as well as the NHL.

Stuff I might watch: X-Games, Australian Rules Football / Rugby, croquet tournament, women's volleyball, , college/high school/Canadian football, NBA, ping-pong, MMA.

things I can't get into "watching": baseball, golf, men's volleyball, PBA, futbol, (American, Internacional or otherwise) lacrosse.

Placemark experiment (I'm thinking this isn't the best website to barely infringe copyrights with...)

You've gotten a clue,
It's occurring to me, Jet,
about randomness.

2=3-1=5-3

A lot of thought, and of course, feeling, went into my one word comment, but you did say "thread" so I assume you were not remarking on my comment?

Feeling's important,
& more powerful than words,
but far less utile.

(2x3)-1=5=5

(I think he was referring to word association, etc.)

I'm feeling my age today.
This gravity thing is getting old:

...as old as you feel,
a life without gravity
is inconvenient.

2+(3into15)=7

My parent's collection of Burl Ives songs included this one.
My younger sister always sang the line
.."he died so hard, he ground the mud in my backyard."

"Well, I had an old dog and his name was Blue,
Had an old dog and his name was Blue.
Had an old dog and his name was Blue...
Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too...
"Here old Blue"
"Good dog you"

Well, I shouldered my axe and I tooted my horn,
Went to find 'possum in the new-grown corn.
Old Blue treed and I went to see,
Blue had 'possum up a tall oak tree.
Mmm, boy I roast'd 'possum, nice and brown,
Sweet po-ta-toes, n' all a-round...
And to say "Here old Blue (here-boy)
You can have some too"

Now, Old Blue died and he died so hard,
Made a big dent in my back-yard.
Dug his grave with a silver spade,
Lowered him down with a link of chain.
Ev-er-y link I did call his name...
Singing "Here…old...Blue-ue...
"Good dog you"

Now, when I get to heaven, first thing I'll do.
When I get to heaven, first thing 'awm do.
When I get to heaven first thing I'll do,
Pull out my horn and call old Blue...
I'll say, "Here Old Blue come-on dog"
"Good dog you."

I'll say, "Here Blue-e"
"I'm a coming there too"
"Down boy... good dog"

I know Mr Ives didn't write this song..I forget who did.

((2+3)-1)+5=9

Wish I had dog years;
timing longer hasn't worked,
nor seemed that it might.

Jet, I love that vid of the Perseids.

Btw, can you post a little guide for me about how to embed vimeo here? Thanks and keep looking up.

I think we have some combination of Cynth / SMeth to thank for it, as well as some consistent monthly hounding by myself and Shauk.

Basic formula is that the url address to the video below is Perseid Meteor Shower Failure on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/14133160)

Then, you just encapsulate the unique video ID# in the vimeo's video url address within [vimeo] tags, and it is quite simple; just as easy as the [youtube] tags.

Quote my post to see it.

Thanks for your Savvy Help.

What else is a going on?

Besides Tim Tebow shaving his completely clean.

I'm hoping to start these three new topics tonight:

- The Architecture, Sculpture & Design Thread (either in: Found on Net, Artwork, or MP)
- Creative Advertisements(-ing) (I'm open to suggestions about better titling)
- A little something for BadNick: WAVES

... but the procrastination, and previous ton of work I have built up, might make it difficult.
(I currently have around 25 other tabs opened right now, and on average, I have to sort through maybe 1,200 odd-links, stories and photographs to close and complete my weekend's work started.)

Here's a wave snack to tide us over:

I've seen the above before, written by a familiar voice, I'm imagining.

Has it been featured in TLTE! before, and would you happen to know the context?

I do believe I posted these shortly after joining TFP.
These images are from a book titled: Disaster Science.

http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...terScience.jpg

Jet, thanks for the vimeo explanation. I'll try it soon. Did you start the "wave" thread yet? I'm not trying to pressure or rush you, but I don't want to miss it. I have a "surfing" folder on PB and I'll start adding to it.

ring, I remember that wave sequence.

Here's one I don't recall posting previously ...no credit since I don't know where it came from:

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2..._Sun_by_la.jpg

I have that same image, probably bigger, and by the watermark, as well as the file-nomenclature, 96% of me is convinced it originated from deviantART.

Earliest, Nick-0: 2230. I'm watching "my shows". :surprised:

Excellent intro to the wave thread, Jetty.

I'll enjoy finding worthy contributions.

I (perhaps: we) posted quite a few choice examples last summer, I recall; the seasons pass much too fast... I've got to quit standing still.

Here's a queued entry from my TLTE note, now-newly created to share with only thee few:

Ro-sham-bo?

Jet, thanks. I'm honored that you started the wave thread ..for me! I hope others also enjoy it and can contribute cool wave stuff. Thanks, bud.

Have you ever participated in a wave (sporting event)?

I'm so unreasonably happy (even in the face of such ambient light: devoid).

Depends what you mean by sporting event. If included in that is riding waves in all sorts of manner for my own personal pleasure...yes. I'm doing it this week though the waves are quite mild now in Ocean City MD. But I've never been in a competitive wave sporting event.

At sporting events

Navy waves are so cute. They are a wave unto themselves, and me I hope.

Color or seamen?
I don't know these navy waves.
Please post a picture.

How about B & W? This is Marcy. Thanks, Marcy...Marcy "Mimi" Lenne Lundstrom.

Marcy served as a Navy WAVE in Washington D.C during World War II. She lived at Arlington Farms (also known as "Acres and Acres of Girls") next to Arlington National Cemetery. Marcy loved going to Arlington National Cemetery and sitting on her favorite tree stump, reading a good book.

I hate to say it, but I agree with that guy (Adam Smith or John Locke, *grumbles) from whatever period he doth spawned: all human reality sucks, is a burden, and is generally: lonesome in the beginning, times in the middle, and certainly at the end. We live but to die.

You regard me as Mr. Optimism, don't you, though? I seem to regard myself that way, and who knows me better than the person who does my thinking for me. (problem is: I'm over-analytical, as well as a huge self-effacement afficianado.)

Where is this going? You tell me.

true. But I wouldn't want them to eat me. At least wait until I've been dead for a while...dry aged intensifies the flavor.

Well, we've lost over half of regular participants in the past year.

It disconcerts me.

There's a right time and sometimes it's the wrong time.

A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
