Love is a leap of faith...
I have a stream of thoughts flowing and inundating everything around and so many thoughts occur at the same time.
Now I am thinking seriously. At times one thought engages us, and today I am thinking of one thought why writers commit suicides and I have already invited people to share their views on this question.
“Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””
“If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
Why am I hungry again?
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain
My ears. They've been blocked for almost two weeks now, but tomorrow I'll finally get to see the doctor.
Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing. Her hair was golden as the sun's rays and her soul as clear and blue as her eyes.
Gaston Leroux - The Phantom of the Opera
Thoughts are patterned so that they may be reworded in newly unfamiliar patterns to support the rhythms of the themes they are a part of.
"It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows with wisdom how to use the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland."
- Horace
That it is far too early for me to be awake
There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as if everything is.
- Albert Einstein
We danced .. it was amazing ...

Error in processing thought!
Wish hard enough, I could turn it to what I like.

I've posted this elsewhere, but vanity publishing works if the writer knows what he or she is doing. Doesn't matter if it is electronic or through paying a printer--electronic is vastly easier on the purse, though, and cuts through the thicket of distribution. Good luck. The key is self-promotion, which is nothing new.Originally Posted by alakungfu
Me? I am conflicted. 20+ years of playing footsie with literary journals and readings with retro-styled drug addicts has soured me considerably on the merits of an authentic literary vision amounting to much. I have toyed with opening a blog, but I am bitter, negative, cynical, and I have neither Kevin Drum's nor Dick Poleman's level of access and expertise--to succeed as a blogger is again nothing new. A writer needs an angle. I was going to open a Yahoo 360 blog merely to practice, but I am afraid of any trouble from big brother, and did not go through the final step. I don't want to blog here either, as I really couldn't be myself--and my area of expertise is not really a huge money generator. Neither is turning myself into a policy wonk, but it is what I'd like to do along with my traditional disability reporting. I've even managed to combine the two for traditional media pieces, and I am busy now trying it again, but once again, I am aiming for traditional media outlets.
I have to weigh the blog issue. It isn't so much that I fear Yahoo would give me trouble, it is just that maybe if I pay for an account I have more control of my content. I feel like growling for lack of guidance.
I'm thinking I just signed up on the wrong site. I thought this was a place to post poetry and read others' poetry, but all I'm finding is forums! Shucks...
Getting tired of chem homework
Ideas crop up one after another endlessly. At the moment I am thinking about cooking. As I do every morning, an essential part of my morning duty. I am thinking about what foods to cook and the like.

Why did they change the characters on House?
"...if you weren't smart enough to get a pedophile in a dress to put a small amount of water on the child’s forehead, then what the eff did you think was going to happen?
I wish the people in the other half of my semi-detatched house would stop screaming at each other and making a lot of angry banging sounds that are making my walls shake
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
That's how I started my book, with a blog on Yahoo 360. I didn't have to worry about polish, just content, and because I went through the boog so often, I formed my ideas about how to shape the book order it and so forth. The blog was the completed, fleshed out, first draft. Right now, I'm waiting to have the book approved for the retail market. The blog is http://ca.360.yahoo.com/alakungfu and the book is called "Freed Reams in a Soft Jacket". It's poetry, by the way.I was going to open a Yahoo 360 blog merely to practice, but I am afraid of any trouble from big brother, and did not go through the final step.
