good-bye proud world!

February 21, 2008 by poetdog

Good-bye, proud world! I’m going home:

Thou art not my friend, and I’m not thine.
Long through thy weary crowds I roam;
A river-ark on the ocean brine,
Long I’ve been tossed like the driven foam;
But now, proud world! I’m going home.

(by Ralph Waldo Emerson)

the wired blog network just flashed me.  i think it was the movement of the mouse off the page.

“In January we issued an alert regarding efforts by malicious third parties attempting to gain access to your Flickr account.”

flickr just opened under the wordpress banner (when logged in).  wordpress is subsuming flickr in camino.  i am in a window within a window.  no thank you, close and quit.

i made a tag cloud and instantly deleted it.  i might put it back.

well, the thing about
writing
is that all has changed.
now that i’m not on the feed.
instant feed.
well, fifteen minutes.
or two days.
depending
on the feed.

does the web have a theme does the web have a scheme?

it’s not about the fact, is how you arrive at the fact, which is then passed by, yet is somewhat retained.

this is a test.  this is only a test.  in the event of a real blog, bloggable things would have been blogged about, bloggingly.

“but it seems you stumbled onto a new kind of humor.”

“but what good is it if it doesn’t make anybody laugh?”

– from “the time of your life”, by william saroyan, and james cagney’s film by the same name.
