start again (again)


ok, so let's see what I can do about updating a bit more and also sharing what I am writing elsewhere while still not making this feel (or read) like a rerun for the few of you who deserve much much better than reruns because you follow me around reading everything I write (hey, I can dream one of you does, right?... and you maybe even you are someone who doesn't tell me because you have good reasons... and there goes my imagination running away with me... and with you too, of course... cuz all I've ever needed was the one, ya know)...


start again...

welcome to the one thousand three hundred and eightieth gathering of the voices in my head here in this bastion of babbling where life in black and white meets the man behind the candoor and sets us all off to see the wizard... in other words, welcome back my friends to the show that never ends we're so glad you could attend step inside step inside... you don't have to love me love me to be here, though it does make the incessant rambling more palatable... and don't go expecting me to put all of the lyrical references that others write in italics for you because that's not my job and besides, what fun is there in removing all the guesswork...

besides, italics are useful for other things besides highlighting other people's lyrics...

huh?...

meanwhile, let's see what happens if we take a kind of a slice of life entry from the RealTime� blog and babblize it (babblize?... as in to give something the essence of babbling, like galvanize or simonize or pasteurize (ironic that all three of those started out as men, aye?... can't say the same about homogenize though, can we... well, maybe male, but not a man's man... if this spontaneous silly gay joke went right over your head {or combusted}, you may be a homophobe... no worries, much, cuz many people are... I mean, fear is the most common human emotion after all and there is no lasting emopotion {aka empotion, a successful treatment for emotional fears or other discords... I mean, you can't call it a potion until you are sure it is successful... until then, you must call it a medicine, eeep} for fear... the important thing is that you are not a babblephobe)...

this is not RealTime�...

oh really?...



the previous paragraph (between the huh and the this is not RealTime� in case you are lost) is why you should come here even after reading the RealTime� blog, right?... those of you still not reading the RealTime� blog as missing the life and times of the babbler offline and of course I had to slip this obligatory plug in here... with a link most naturally so you can get there easily... of course there is no mandate that compels you to empower yourself by visiting the daily blog in RealTime� just to real the mundane rambling of the actual events in the offline life of the babbler... you need not be curious... and certainly, as a stranger, there is no need for you to find even more time to get to know the actual details of the offline life of the writer or the person behind the words any better... you can enjoy the babble right here and nowhere else...

but just in case you did want to know...

once upon a time in a blogaxy far far away, I rambled on about a concert a while back (and since I've been to dozens of concerts in the past few months, who knows which one it might be) and in keeping with my promise (I promised someone, just not sure if I promised you or me) to share life in black and white (and catch up on life in black and white), I continue bring bits of the RealTime� blog and other writings into the mix as the babbler lives here not there and the babbling belongs here not there and the dedication to share daily seems to have waned here and blossomed there but there is supposed to be brief and here is supposed to be where I expound endlessly and redundantly and infinitely into the madness that is the imagination and yet because I appear there daily I babble there in spite of my intentions to be brief there so what babble occurs there is saved for here and that is what I shall explore more here and now...

kind of like Bukowski's bluebird...

ok (or not), I am obviously losing connections with the connections I might be making in connecting with the RealTime� blog and coming (or becoming, to be more precise) more random than usual... my synapses are firing more haphazardly than usual... thoughts are scattered all over my brain... my mind is kind of odd tonight... I mean more odd than usual... maybe I am actually asleep and only think I am awake... kinda lost... aimless... wandering... homeless... an orphan...

in just in case you were wondering (because you wonder a lot, dontcha?), I am still up for adoption... I mean, just in case some rich family or individual or you even wants (or want) to adopt and have and hold an ever so grateful big kid in their lives... or maybe an astute patron of the arts would like to donate to the babbler's relief fund so I might live a life of writing rhymes and rambling all the rest of my days... I remain, humbly and eagerly, available...

hey, I just thought I'd mention it...

so after getting home from that concert that night, whichever concert it was (and it definitely was a great one), I sat back and relaxed and listened to the dumbest celebrity quotes while eating and working on the computer a bit (like I don't get enough at work)... not surprisingly, the president of the USA had several of the top dumbest quotes... ignorance must be bliss in this land of the faux free as he remains president... who listens to Richard Dreyfus, anyway? (even though we should)...

I followed that computer maintenance with a gander at my myspace (getting to be a habit) and like wow, an actual member of my original adopted family tracked me down... I changed his diapers (which is a bit of trivia I am sure he will be thrilled I mentioned on the public web)... so myspace, you see, really could actually have profound effects on reconnections in real life... or at least be much nostalgic fun...

see, a long long time ago, the people I was closest to in the long lost family that adopted me were his parents and at the time he was born I was into playing with cameras most every day... I spent a lot of time around their house in his first few years and at the time I had the time and equipment to take lots of photos... so I took many hundreds of him because he was such a photogenic baby and toddler... and isn't my heart tickled deeply to see there's one of the pics that I took on his site (his favorite, though not my best work)...

it's a small world after all...

so quite suddenly (for me, at least), he's a 6'4" grown adult-type man and a college grad and working and enjoying life and one of these days we'll hopefully find time to catch up (I am the dark star, the black sheep, the mysterious disappearing cousin, after all... I must have some amazing stories to tell)...

anybody got any amazing stories to sell cheap? J

and as if that wasn't enough (oh, ok, I'll continue this rambling in the next entry since you've got to take a break now... yes, the secret sensor devises implanted in your brain are sending me readings of your needs and I am taking them into account... at least at this moment... and now, just as suddenly, I'll forget and therein let you forget that we are so intimate just in case it makes you uncomfortable... and in keeping with this ample use of discretion and consideration, I won't mention any other secret sensors implanted in any of your other body parts and therein continue playing ignorant and needy and begging for your input and feedback)...

are we having fun yet?...
