last post of the weekend.
you've let me run on about spheres here before so i might as well take up space again to mention, or forever hold my tongue, that the square root of 2 is irrational.
thus, and you know it's an irrational thus, i am sending a massive shout-out to everything that and everyone who bring sense to my being an infinitesimal point in the immeasurable cosmos. being one such point, and so falling short of being able to square 2, i acquiesce on this day that i embrace all dimensions but require none.
in other words, i am full of sh!t but, hey, you know what and who you all are, thank you.
(one likes to put photos up of oneself from time to time...)

here is a 10.12.08 mix if you have 10:08:757 to spare.
the song way up there in the lil red button is a long-time favorite.
when the sun hits
sweet thing, i watch you
burn so fast it scares me
my game, please don't leave me
come so far, don't lose me
it matters where you are
as the sun hits, she'll be waiting
with the coffins under heaven
hey, hey, lover, you're still burning
you're his song, yeah (hey, hey)
sweet thing, i watch you (burn away)
To date my favorite photo of you.
Kid you are most certainly not alone and as points go, you shine so very bright it's hard not to notice.
Funny how I feel the same way sometimes.
The square root of 2 may be iirational, but it's still worlds better than the square root of -1, which is imaginary. :)
Booya Dale.
Chris - that is one exorcistic avatar if i ever saw one. hellacool.
Dale - whoah, hitting me with the -1 thing, i love it.
Zombie Lindsay. Didn't know I had it until tonight.
You think this is bad, you gotta see her in full 'princess mode'. I swear she's bi polar.
"I swear she's bi polar." and you're saying this like a real proud Dad. hahahah. she's gorgeous however she pulls her face, that one will be breaking hearts in her midst.
No doubt. And that's what I'm afraid of.
We are all full of shit ilay, you're not alone(Happy Birthday my dearest!) And I feel like a reflection of a photograph of a photograph, so there! Love the Slowdive song too. And how can you call the triune songs picayune(especially w/a Portishead song in there)? So who is the first & 3rd songs by? I recognize the 1st one but not the 3rd.
I'm w/ August. That Slowdive track is one a lovely piece of music. poe. A little Depeche-y. And you are def not aloney. We're all in this shit together.
Sunday Morning & thoughts to ponder. Not a religious experience, no, but a warm feeling of connectivity. And that song in the old MOG player is so apt. I love it. Illay. you're a big reason why the MOG is so special.
Love the songs, love the post, love you. I'm still on the other side of that door, darling.
poe, you and "succint' don't usually go together, but I have to say you not only impressed with your ability to be brief, but also with how much meaning you can pack into just a couple of lines.
and shouts right back at ya. thanks for being one of those that still makes getting online (almost) every night a wonderful thing.
love this...all of it. the music, the musings, and the photography.
You are large (poe-etically) even while pondering the irrational and infentesimal.
absolutely my friend ...
this is one of the most beautiful statements concerning birth I have ever heard ...
i acquiesce on this day that i embrace all dimensions but require none.
A birthday gift for you here
Chris - not you, you can't be afraid of Lindsay breaking hearts, she will inebriate all the fragments with her poetry. for the not-alone and shine-bright thing above (and Avatar!), thank you.
Aug - the Portishead song is my favorite of theirs. song names at the bottom of this comment. dearly beloved fellow darkling Libra-rian, when you put it that way, i am happy to be full of shit along with you. thank you.
Mike - the Slowdive number is one hell of swooney, is it not? try it before dawn! ah, another brave soul who fesses up to being shitty (and you know i say this with all my love and respect), thank you.
August, the mix:
- Teenage Fanclub : Is This Music? : from Bandwagonesque
- Portishead : It's a Fire : from Dummy
- The Magnetic Fields : Old Fools : from Distortion
Jeff - as one song in the mix (glad you love it) suggests, i am yet another old fool trying to make sense of it all. and one who, on this/that Sunday, chose connective over religious. thank you.
Amber - keep the door open and the light on, dear sister. one day i will need a break from the great wide open and want home. i promise to knock. (; i love you back, thank you.
Chuck - brevity is one of my new aims (packing meaning, too), and unsurprisingly, you with the sharp eye caught it. news of your traveling is practically a present in itself, thank you.
Dale - i just noticed i didn't say thanks and course i want to. i am right along with you for the irrational and the imaginary. thank you.
Lucy - you know i love you and you know you're among the constant sources of inspiration for the music and the musings. thank you.
Cody - pondering is all i do and yet here you all are, still listening. i feel small/humbled but big/proud in the presence of all you greatnesses in MOG, thank you.
Nick - speaking of humbling, that statement was, and i made it with all my heart. we are altogether in music and i salute those of you that create it. good night, and thank you.
Sorry. I've read and listened, what, 6X? Don't think so much, "just say" I tell me, and then think again. This sphere seems inconsequentially small, and your self-embrace - our all embrace - affirms the addiction value of these connections. You said it all, still...
"If the essence and perfection of all good are comprehended in the gods, and the first and ancient power of them is with us priests (theurgists), and if by those who similarly adhere to more excellent natures and genuinely obtain a union with them, the beginning and end of all good is earnestly pursued; if this be the case, here the contemplation of truth, and the possession of intellectual science are to be found. And a knowledge of the gods is accompanied with...the knowledge of ourselves." The Mysteries - Iamblichus
rock.
Scott - i am sooo freaking out over what you quoted. if only i can tell you why but i can't. arrghh.
suffice it to say that you doubtlessly hit a nerve there. and well, i want to possess intellectual science and contemplate truth, if that isn't too much to ask for. i want. does this mean i need to go be a theurgist? i keed. i have all night to ponder the quote, thank you.
ps- The Maybes is a fn cool name. still listening, very earwormy!
Scott - i just finished listening. ...hellsyeah... i am filching it via DH now, thankyouverymuch. (;
I think each and every one of us can delve into the priesthood if we wish. I know, for me, these contacts we've developed have allowed incredible insight into knowing myself...hence the inspiration.
The Maybes-"Promise" set ends with that surprisingly lenghty instrumental. An odd and effective way to end a tasty power-popish lecture. I'm penning a post on em right now...
Maybe that's what's beyond the music, the friendship?!?
Scott - same here, my friend. incredible insight into myself. it's true that it takes being outside of oneself to have a different perpective of the self.
saw the post. love it. want to hear more. (;
lak - that makes so much sense. sometimes the answer is amazingly simple and right under our noses. hope you're having a more fulfilling week, dear, and thank you.
