I came across this from way back in my "upload pre-formatted text files" days of blogging and remember really liking it, at least back then. Some of the stuff is pretty dated and irrelevant, but I just thought I'd post it anyway. It'll be a part of my regular archives as soon as I get that working, but for now, here it is:

words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup they slither while they pass they slip away across the universe

that should be the theme song for everyone's weblog ... isn't that essentially what it is ... people who type too much, talk to much, care too much about what they say and give it to the world? i'm excluded from this generalization, of course, for my candor.

sorry for my absence to those of you who visit this page frequently and faithfully. been busy, still busy, hopefully won't be busy for much longer ... there are webpages to be made and updated.

carved a pumpkin this weekend. gave him a single tooth and hexagonal eyes. yes, i'm a geometry nerd. but then, where would we be without geometry. our bridges would be less stable, our rooftops would accumulate snow, stop signs would be boring, even harry potter's glasses would lose their individuality. anyway, point is, i did a horrible job of making the cuts, however, my partner (we'll call her beth for anonynomity) did a wonderful job and even succeeded in getting me to stick my hands in the pumpkin guts. muchos kudos to her.

the wolfpack won last thursday evening, demolitioning clemson. good job fellas, keep up the good work. our good friends at the airforce academy, however, suffered their second straight lost. they followed up their valliant effort against notre dame with a not-so-great performance. too bad, i was rootin for them. maybe johnny h. will share his thoughts with us soon. we're still waiting on his column.

speaking of columns, we may have a music columnist soon. got wind of someone interested in that job, and in case he hasn't heard from the go-between, he is hired, so start sendin em whenever you can! maybe it will spin-off into that elusive all-music page i've been trying to make ever since i started doing this. we'll see.

thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe

the great travesty of this world is that people like lorna will uncover misunderstood musings of kelly rowland, but the people who deserve this will probably never read it. here it goes anyway:
to the people who stand where i will not, who stand in front of me and say 'you will be free', to the people who make it possible for my biggest worry in life to be whether or not i'll pass physics, who allow me to wake up in the morning to the sound of static instead of gunfire. to the people who leave their families to protect mine, who are brave enough to watch their sons, their daughters, their husbands, their wives walk away so that i don't have to. thank you. i am forever grateful to you.

limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns it calls me on and on across the universe
