Bloggy stealings

Rather, Borrowing, from a dear friend's blog.

I hate you, God.
Love, Madeleine.
I write my messages on water
and at bedtime I tiptoe upstairs
and let them flow underneath your door.

When I am angry with you
I know that you are there
even if you do not answer knock
even when your butler opens the door an inch
and flaps his thousand wings in annoyance
at such an untoward interruption and says the master is not at home.
I love you, Madeleine
Hate, God.
(This is how I treat my friends, he said to one great saint.
No wonder you have so few of them, Lord, she replied.)
I cannot turn the other cheek.
It takes all the strength I have to keep my fists from hitting back.
The soldier shot the baby
the little boys trample the old woman
The gutters are filled with groans
While pleasure seekers knock each other down
I'm turning in my ticket
and my letter of introduction.
You're supposed to do the knocking. Why do you burst my heart?

How can I write you to tell that I'm angry
when I’ve been given the wrong address
And I don’t even know your real name?
I take hammer and nails and tack my message on two crossed scraps of wood:
Dear God, Is it too much to ask you to bother to be?
Just show your hindquarters
and let me hear you
roar.

Love, Madeleine.

"love letter" Madeleine L'engle.

I love this.

Not off to a good start

I'm not doing too good with this "blogging more" concept, am I?

That's what I thought.

Oops.

Time for another saying of the infamous "I'm gonna try harder"

It never works. I need something more than an overused phrase.

And I'm also not doing the title of this little text abode much justice, either.

Poo.

But, once again, in my defense, it'll get better with time. I still haven't obtained a certain little Camera Connection Kit from Apple. Time to order one, no?

Yes.

And so, this is another Sorry. Certainly not the last.

It's Birthday!

Rawr! I'm a teen now (oh gosh) and I am gonna do my best NOT to let it show! And maybe this will come with better Adobe Ideas skills? O_o

We Are Disarmed

Sitting in Borders, listening to an *epicmazing* local band, We Are Disarmed.

Their music is awesome, and I have coffee. Life is good. I'll take some iPhone pics (on the iPad right now) and edit this post later. I'll also have some band info and If I can find an embedable MP3, I'll get that in here too.



Cheers!

Life in Black & White?

I'm currently sitting in my living/dining room (loooong room lacking a divider) and my grandfather is talking about his friend in california from the '60s. Chuck Owens. Chuck had a pool underneath his garage. A swimming pool.
Underneath his garage. My brother said "cool", then dad reminded him this was in the '60s, and everything was mechanical, analog, and hand-cranked.

Then I realized that whenever I think of anything before, oh say, '75, I visualize stuff in Black & White.

I feel bad about this, for some reason.

Is it profiling? Racist? Or just my young, spoiled mind?

Care to share?

The future of this blog

Oh, hello there.

Saturday night I promised to tell you about something big and new.

Here it is.

Yes, the iPad. No, it doesn't have wings or 24 hour protection, but it does have 10 hours of battery life, and BlogPress, which I've already shot up 2 posts with.

What does this mean for the blog, though? More posts, more places.

I can now blog at Starbucks (which I intend to be at lots more this year), I can blog at Remedy (hoping it'll be my new fav coffeehouse), I can blog anywhere, and then upload at any wifi.

Yay. YAY!

That is all.

It's Easter!

Oh hi! It's Easter! Thought you needed to know that :)


A special, amazing 365 picture will be here tomorrow.

Enjoy and eat food!

Hectic lives all around

Oh, hello there! Remember me? Everett, the boy who takes pictures? Yea? Well, I'm still alive, don't worry. It's Been too busy to breath lately. My bad for not blogging! Big things are coming, including me blogging more, Monday or Tuesday, whichever comes first.
But until then, my job is to decide wether to watch bruce almighty or SNL.

P.S Its 27 minutes till Easter, happy holidays.



Oh, while waiting for me to return, check out my pal Emma's new blog at emmajoymiller.blogspot.com



Thanks to all and to all a good night.
