radiohead brings out the writer in me

I was never a Radiohead-head in high school, but in my adulthood I'm strongly drawn to their music. It lulls me into a sleepless dream and I really enjoy swimming around in my thoughts.

I really thought I would write in my blog more since starting it. Although, I have been true my goals. I have kept working out since I began this and I have been reading more. Whenever possible, I find the time to write, but it's typically only done when convenience permits. I need to get better about setting aside time to set down with a keyboard. It and I go way back. Think of all the keyboards...

In our life time there may be five million
QWERTY keyboards are the universal manipulatable.

The toy of this generation.

More popular than Rubik's cubes in the 80s.

Every house has one, even if you only count the keyboard on a mobile phone.

Ahh...keyboards.

I wonder when the day will come when you adorn the windows of antique shops and I have to explain your purpose to passer byes.

I can't imagine that day fully, but I can hope for a glimpse into the realm of possible uselessness.



*bell rings*

Stampedes to wait in a funnel
drowning in the Co2
get gone quickly
the stop signs are fast approaching
"Watch your step" as the ledge nears.
Descend to the light of day
squinting against the luminous
sky.

sitting in a san fran backyard

This house is older than I am and I'm sure this space is considered its own ecosystem. It's Saturday morning and I'm sitting outside with the invigorating morning swirling around me.

When I walked into this place I knew it was different than other places. I felt like I stepped through a time warp.

It's my turn for the shower now, I think, so I better go.
