| August 31st, 2001, End O' the month, ya'll. And I think I'll just not talk about it. Sit in silence and remember allllllllllll the things that happened this August, because, you know... It's not gonna happen again. I hope ya made the most of it. Leap Before You Look W. H. Auden The sense of danger must not disappear: The way is certainly both short and steep, However gradual it looks from here; Look if you like, but you will have to leap. Tough-minded men get mushy in their sleep And break the by-laws any fool can keep; It is not the convention but the fear That has a tendency to disappear. The worried efforts of the busy heap, The dirt, the imprecision, and the beer Produce a few smart wisecracks every year; Laugh if you can, but you will have to leap. The clothes that are considered right to wear Will not be either sensible or cheap, So long as we consent to live like sheep And never mention those who disappear. Much can be said for social savoir-faire, But to rejoice when no one else is there Is even harder than it is to weep; No one is watching, but you have to leap. A solitude ten thousand fathoms deep Sustains the bed on which we lie, my dear; Although I love you, you will have to leap; Our dream of safety has to disappear. I really like that poem, I just found it the other day. I bought this little book, fits in the palm of your hand, and it was like.. the best loved poems? oh wait.. no.. it was the best love poems... hell.. I dunno, I just thought the book was cute. ANYWAY.. I bought two of them and one has the Walrus and the Carpenter in it, which I just LOVE that one. I've been in sort of a pensive mood lately, and I wrote two short stories in the past day or two. I started writing them because ... well.. I got some of my stuff published at an online magazine, Skyline Publications, and she asked for a short story that I had written, and I haven't ever really WRITTEN a short, so.. I went ahead and dabbled in it. Then I got to talk to my friend, Emmy, and she said that a workshop she went to said don't ever let the truth keep you from telling a good tale. And I ALSO remember from high school, my junior english teacher used to say, if you mix a little truth with a lot of lie, most people will believe it, or at least WANT to believe it, making the story that much better. SOOOOOOOOooo, Hope ya'll like, that's what I did. A little truth with a LOT of lie.. lol.. Click here for #1, Click here for #2. And I think that's just about it ya'll. I'm going to a comedy club this Saturday with a couple friends from outta town. I'll tell ya about it when I get back. later... I'm OUT Dezy. |
| August 27th, 2001, You know.. I was looking at name meanings today.. and I thought of a BRILLIANT sociology/science project. First off, the thesis would be.. People lean towards differnt sounds with the different emotions of the day. Experiment would be like.. a list of names and a questionnaire at how they are feeling. And you'd make them do those two things for a consecutive week (5 days). Then.. match the two together.. I bet, when they feel exceptionally well, they'll look for the more harsh and exotic names.. like.. Xavier and Harrison and Charles... and when they feel terrible, they'll go for the more standard names, comforting, like.. Mary, Maude, nancy, bob.. you know what I'm saying. I wonder where I would rank? Well, anyway, I found MY name on the list of popular ones, it ranks REALLY low.. I was disappointed. (To find your name easily without reading everything follow these directions : While holding down the ctrl button, press f. When the search thingie pops up, type in your name, and press enter, it should pull your name up on the page. To escape from that search thingie, press the Esc button. YAY!! If your name has been polled, you'll see how happy people are with that certain name. Dezy ranks a low 2.6... grrrrrrrrr) Ok.. I dunno what else to write today.. OH.. I wrote a short story today... or rather, I finished it today, I have yet to find a title for it. *grimaces* I hate titles... Usually, if I don't have it before I write the whatever, I never find a good one. *shrugs* I'm working on it, with my online buddah budday - Hot Em-ber.. OOoooo.. sooo sexy, cause I likes her baaaaahdaaaaaay.. lol.. ok.. later ya'll. I'm OUT Dezy. |
