A Flock of Foxes

So I'm testing out this Flock web browser based on Mozilla Firefox. It's pretty cool. All of the extensions I like using in FF 3.5 work great in this and the implementation of social web 2.0 features are pretty slick. I'm typing this blog post up using Flock's blogging tool -- so we'll see how it comes out.

Flock, The Social Web Browser!

Thinking of you

So as I drift off to sleep in my mind's eye I envision things close by
A sensation in my third eye and I see a beautiful figure, angelic and comforting with billowing white gowns flowing around her like light.
I haven't seen her in this world for 15 years, but she's been beside us every step of the way since my worldly eyes last fell on her smile, since my arms were enveloped by her embrace.

My earthly mind misses what it cannot experience in the conventional dimensions of reality. But my spirit-self feels a presence in everything I do.

So as I lay in the twilight between here and now and I let my consciousness drift out of spacetime I feel her with us.

Flowing white around a beautiful face of smiling eyes and long brown hair. Facial images flicker between the ways I remember her. She's an 18 year old girl in a black and white photo, a young woman in her twenties on a beach on a great lake, a happy middle-aged woman embracing her beloved. The tear-filled face that would say goodbye the mornings we drove away to go back to our other home 400 miles away.

Eyes always smiling.

Cheers

Being a fall down drunk today takes everything you've got
Drowning your sorrows and your worries sure can cost a lot
Wouldn't you like to drift away?

Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody slurs your name
And the floor's a vomit stain
You wanna go where whiskey flow
Livers are torn and maimed
You wanna go where they're too drunk to know your name.

Remember to wash hands after handling currency

The other day, student Aand student B were disrupting class because student A (a girl) took a dollar from student B (a boy) without his permission, put it in her ass and wouldn't give it back. Student B, a tough South Bronx kid, whined and whined that he wanted his dollar back from the student A who claimed to have infused it with anal vapors. As things played out the "ass dollar" as it were almost usurped the vocabulary lesson I had planned.

Still, we made it through the lesson and logical consequences were handed out to the offending parties.

Good Fortune

Where is your favorite place to be?

Student response:

I would want to be in paradise, where no one can do stupid shit, where I can have all the food in the world and not get fat when I eat it, where I can run freely on the grass and where I can ... what ever I want. Maybe I am thinking of heaven.

I love it.

Steaming Pile of ..... Really?

I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay late on this short review, but... Axl Rose took how long to make Chinese Democracy? I mean after all those years that's the best you can do Axl? Really? I mean, I just thought you know after years of meticulous studio hermeticism it would be like Sgt. Pepper meets Nevermind or something... but instead it's kinda a cross between Look What the Cat Dragged in and anything by Stabbing Westward and destined for the Bestbuy cutout bin. Strange...
