Thunder and Noise
Sound & Fury
Memories of forgotten souls
Memories of self
The dreams I lived as a youth
All the people as they crashed and collided
The people who became me…
The people who I grok and are me.
Those who I loved
Those who I hated
Those who I felt
The forgotten dreams
The tears
of Fears
Feeling
To be… to live…
To know how others feel
To know […]

This is transcribed from a random piece of paper found in my room while cleaning. I don’t know when I wrote this or what prompted it. Words in [] are what they paper looks like but I have no idea what I was saying.

I woke this morning. I heard the noise of […]

Thursday I was driving along and came to the intersection of Piccard and W. Gude Rd. While waiting at the light I noticed a monument, consisted of two upright rough stone pillars with something that looked like a log painted green connecting them at the top. Very Stonehenge-esque.

I had a really odd dream last night.

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,

Rode the six hundred.

Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
2.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!”
Was there a man dismay’d?
Not tho’ the soldier knew
Someone had blunder’d:
Their’s not to make reply,
Their’s not to reason […]

So I recently witnessed an online discussion that badly munged two separate issues. Why do we undervalue teachers (in the sense of a paycheck) and why do we vilify the wealthy and famous for not being teachers.
To start with the wealthy, the vilification exists because we like to think that we exist in a […]

I’ve started looking for work mostly along the 270 corridor. There’s some stuff at NIH if I can just figure out how to write a cover letter. Haven’t had to do so for the last couple of jobs. I was recruited for those and just showed up at interviews with a resume.
There […]

So I’ve spent the last 24 hours or so trying to come up with the right words to commemorate being laid off, but they just aren’t coming.
I needs words that say thank you for letting me serve you. I need words that say how much I loved working for the Fool. Words that […]

If the 2:14 entry doesn’t make it clear I was laid off from the Motley Fool yesterday at around 11:30 am. Though technically I’m paid through today.
I need to go back there and pick up my car.

It is not 3am
And I am not a survivor.
But I feel I must say something
But I am tired and old and I want to know what to say
I want to know how to feel
Knowing that my friends will never again be part of the Pod
I am alone and will be that way for a long […]
