I've been digging through the poem bin lately, trying to come up with one that fits the current mood more than the latest
"our crusade"
sky, shrapneled, bleeding;
metallic rain of aimless death,
seeding flesh-soaked battle
fields reaped by
rebels yet unborn

Note to self: stop watching the late-night news. And find something happy to wrap a poem around.

i had a whole thing written up but continue to experience technical difficulties with respect to the "publish" button. what's the deal? is it just a trial of my patience or a test of my resolve?

we'll see.

so this is it, my first official entry. i'm getting a little tingly with blog power.

a fleeting feeling-- it left as soon as i calculated the odds that this stuff will actually be read by someone.

...maybe i should take a minute to sketch out my plans? a few simple questions to jump-start things a bit:
1. should i use capital letters?
2. wouldn't it be better to learn html, dreamweaver, flash and photoshop so i could design my own site? something dope like Blackalicious' website?
3. should i pay the 12 bucks to get the dang banners off my blogspot?
4. can i somehow get folks to dig this stuff enough to give me the 12 bucks that will get the dang banners off my blogspot?

guess i'll go chew on that and get back to work--oh, hold up-- it's lunchtime! time to walk and read "the lexus and the olive tree" by thomas friedman. i just started this morning on the way to work. (making the most of my ambulatory commute).

so ends the first entry. more questions than answers. such is life.

"poemusing" (haiku)
questions and answers
the circuitous riddle
of life continues
