Things Im Digging

[chicoazul]

Im liking lots at the moment, but here's my list in no ranking order:

* Stephen Pienaar
* Red Snapper
* My Tim Hortons giant coffee flask
* Rugby World Cup
* Stamping my foot mid stride to make complacent cats jump
* TxBill's tenacity
* Sunrise
* Warm sea (not of the urine type)
* Skittles - Taste the Rainbow.


You?

 

[SuitsBlue]

red snapper is a band?

 

[chicoazul]

The food mate. Its divine.

Food is much better than footy.

 

[fozzy]

im digging a hole!

 

[TX Bill]

Yeah well I'm probably gonna tone it down a bit. Almost forgot that this is an Everton forum.

(Who did they play Sunday? )

By the way, have I ever told you that I love cats?

 

[chicoazul]

As long as it makes you feel ace then it can be on your list.

This is an Everton forum? Who the [Poor language removed] are they?

I thought this place was about some cats called Ghost and Yakubu and dogs.

-Bath Rugby Club (we're always good in World Cup year)
-Apple and Mango J20. Yes it's a girly drink, but it tastes nice.
-Pool Jam
-Ian Brown's new album
-Spanish chorizo sausage (try it in a toastie with chedder cheese-it's what God would eat if he made toasties)
-Top Gear

 

[chicoazul]

I eat Chorizo often, its high in aceness.

Good List Welts.

This weekend I've 'dug':

Tuna with black olives on a hearty oatmeal sub.
Ian Brown's new album, through my new Creative Inspire T3030 multimedia speakers.
Vodka and Apple Lucozade Sport (which, oddly, tastes almost Cream soda-ish).
Lemon and Scampi Nik-naks.
A poem by Richard Brautigan.*
Oh, and I'll have a bit of Stephen Pienaar, too, if you don't mind.






*All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace

I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammels and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.

I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.

I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.

 

[TX Bill]

Some may consider me digging...


...a deeper hole.

 

[SuitsBlue]

is that a bit sinister to you loose?

Edit* the poem.

Edit* the poem.

A little, at least in a modern day context, Suits, the way machines have increasingly come to run our lives, but I think Brautigan possibly saw a more positive relationship between humans and their inventions (he wrote it in the sixties, when computers were these person size machines, with big spinning reels (or blossoms), and maybe he didn't view as quite so threatening as we might now).

Unfortunately, that's not the way the post-industrial age has played out, thus far, so I can see where you're coming from.

The image of 'a cybernetic ecology' is a nice one, though.

Tehe ... I suddenly feel the need to grow a beard, and slip into a pair of sandals.

 

[SuitsBlue]

instead of..

''someone to watch over me''

its

''something to watch over me''

thats where i took a breath.

'do androids dream of electric sheep' was written in the 70's i think by a man who frequently abused his body and mind with LSD.

i suspect quite a few know how that turned out.
