Fallen Thoughts

:: 1.29.2002 ::

I'm rockin' a new link - Wood Duck Productions.

just a place for some friends and I to gather thoughts and help bring together a beautiful idea..

got a couple of new journals up, too - Asha and Bobo. check 'em.

The wind whispers over the tops of all life,
Carrying with it years of hopes and dreams.
A fog so thick, easily cut by knives,
But through each droplet a ray of light beams.

Through the streams and rivers a steady flow teems
And in the snow-capped mountains a whisper is heard.
Wild horses run carelessly it seems,
But through their gallops still a whisper is heard.

In a thick rainforest the conversations of birds
Twist their way through bushes and vines.
Throughout the jungle a whisper is heard
Yet none stop and take time to reply...

Maybe one day the vastness of its presence will be felt,
One small whisper dying to be heard, endlessly whispering "help".

and another thing..

has anyone else who uses Stats4All been having trouble with their stats? my symbol hasn't worked in a while, and according to my stats, I haven't received a single hit in the past 3 or 4 days. hmmm..

anyway, just wondering if anyone else was having the same problems. guess I need to check into this.

posting from class just because I can.. got these desks with built in computers. CLUTCH.

I really should do more of this, I know, but I'm at school so much these days. 15 hours is a first for me. I'm feelin' like I live at this place.

I've been writing a lot lately, as you can see below. just one of many ways to pass the time. could call it verbal doodling. I did earlier, so you can, too. go ahead, say it out loud.. VER-BAL DOOD-LING. has a bit of a ring to it, no?

I'm gonna get it back in order, no doubt.. got all of the necessaries for my 4-track, but now can't figure out how to cleanly transfer from it to my computer. when I do? yeah, it's on. I've been trying to devote more time to music. have a good 4 or 5 shorts recorded and managed to get a track laid with my good friend Andi (see: comment box in below post). hope to get that going soon and give you folks some good music to hear.

hmm.. think class is about to "really" start, so I'll leave it at that.

unless it gets tough and I learn how to type veeeeewy qwietly.

shhh.. I'm tryin' to catch me a wabbit.

good evening to all!

Leafless branches embrace a darkening sky,
Frail arms reaching for one last breath.
The horizon consumes the sun, yet leaves a chandelier behind.
In pale moonlight the mighty oak is laid to rest.

ah man.. where do I start?

guess it's been a while since I last contributed. hope all you guys had a great Christmas and brought in the New Year with good times. I did so, I must say...

finally got that 4-track I've been going on and on about. got a little tech help from Nathan last night and made quite a nice sounding little clip. now I've just gotta get an adapter for my mic and an RCA cable and I'll be in business.

went up to Athens (see picture at left) for the remainder of the holiday and had a wonderful week. too good, I think. hung out with Señor Tubbs, Shelly, and Chris West a lot. went to the bars, went to a smokin' Panic show, brought in the new year with some great friends and massive quantities of alcohol. talked to lots of people, though I can hardly remember who. even talked to a few of my Nancie folk. ended up sleeping on a couch at some house of a guy I hardly know. woke up the next morni.. er.. afternoon and couldn't find my car keys ANYwhere. ended up being in my friend's driver seat. how conveeeeenient.

then came the snow. on Wednesday morning, I woke up to Shelly bouncin' around the house tellin' me to look outside. everything was white. being that she and I have grown up in south Georgia, we were happier than a three-petered puppy at a poodle pageant to see *real* snow. I think it was about my 4th time seeing it. EVER. it snowed all Wednesday and for a good part of Thursday. we had a YOUGE snowball fight from the bar all the way to the back of River Mill. so much fun.. even built a snowman on my car and rode around town.

so to sum it up, I had such a great time on my little winter break. I really didn't want to leave Athens and didn't want to start school even moreso. alas, I have responsibilites.. gotta get that Bachelors, if it's the last thing I do.

can I get some noise from all my 3rd year sophomores? woot, woot!

enough of that... guess I'll go to sleep and 'try' to make class tomorrow.

read away, you. and you, too.

=)
