REALITY & NEW MEDIA: The Struggle
Left brain fighting with the right brain for attention. Logic suppressing creativity; fantasy has no place in formula. Textbook and notebooks full of figures and graphics; notebooks full of graphics and words. Give up, go to the computer. Software arranges … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Mid-terms
I knew it, I knew it! It seems to happen every single year. The sun gets pissed because the flora and fauna are sick and tired of the photosynthesis project and don’t want to do it anymore. It’s just been … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Words of Wisdom
If there’s anyone out there reading this, who is younger than me and who has a dream, an idea, even the slightest twinge of an urge: DO IT. DO IT NOW! I’ll explain this as soon as the thoughts in … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Reality & Fantasy
Walking quickly to the house, away from work and cold. It takes too long to sit there with a match to start the propane heater. Shivering from the wind that blows in through the cracks and chills the bones so … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Morning Through Sounds
No sense using sight sense this morning; it is black, and closing my eyes makes it no blacker. But it is cold and windy, that I can tell. The wind is noisy in its huffing and puffing to blow my … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Hyperlinking Through the Day
Just another of those days spent bouncing off of walls I didn’t think were there. Imagining transparent sheets clunking down between me and every goal. Each plan is led astray; by Gates’ Microsoft conglomeration; by three thousand miles, by Christopher … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Ch-ch-ch-changes
Orange leaves are falling on my head; at least the green ones stayed where they belonged. The hummingbirds have hidden somewhere for the past few weeks; metamorphosed into eagles circling high above. The deer grow horns and eat the grapes … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Discovery
You know that itchy scratchy annoying sensation at the back of your neck that you often get from clothing labels? Well if you ever notice this same occurrence at your throat instead, your sweater’s on backwards. Continue reading

REALITY: Excuses
I am short, and tops of highboys, hutches go undusted. Nearsighted, so the spider laughs and builds his home of cobweb and settles in for maybe months. An aching swayback keeps the baseboards safe from running rags, and the lightbulb … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Unreality
A pink morning sky as fake as a Kinkade, or color filters on a Canon. Nature takes creative license with the day. Impossibly black branches cutting through the salmon canvas; a painting I would shake my head at and pass … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Autumn Olympics
The sun set fire to the trees this morning. The maples bear their torches high into the sky and run along the streets and backyards in their race towards winter and the grueling tests of endurance they will face. Continue reading

REALITY: Needs vs. Wants
Saw a very nice reference to Spinning on the Great Lettuce Head last night, but it caused a sleepless night nonetheless. This, because while it is a gracious acknowledgement of my enthusiasm, it also brings into focus the problem I … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Frost
The morning dew that nourished in the summer nights what summer sun would burn away, returns in crystalline perfection, blushing green to red and cowardly yellow in the face of cold. Killing what it has spent the months in nurturing. … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Daydreaming
This morning on my driving rounds I daydreamed, part of my mind taking off in another direction while focusing automatically on the road. Down River Road, Route 4 up to Burlington, behind a truck with winch and ball and hook … Continue reading Continue reading
