a bird named doubt

Friday, February 17th, 2006

I know a bird named doubt
he can chirp and he can pout
he can mangle your thoughts
and produce nothing but naughts
at what age do you want out of his cage

you think he’s the prettiest bird ever
that he makes you happy and that he is a treasure
but he always leads you away
from things that just may
make your life better not scarier just better

hes pulling back on your balls
between two bars and hes barricaded the walls
but i can clip his sad wings
and give him a swift fling
and climb mountains with no need for defenses

I never said i could write poetry, no noetry!!!! Blah!!!!! From my walk home last nite:

insignificance

Saturday, February 4th, 2006

Just because something isn’t mentioned, or isn’t discussed, does not mean it is insignificant. Nor is the inverse always true.

Some people thrive on insignificance, discussing what may seem mundane, trivial, or just plain boring to some. This kind of exploration can often lead to promising, significant ends. This implies significance can have insignificant roots. Much of what i discuss here (perhaps even this), is quite insignificant in and of itself. But it helps me explore my thoughts and my observations in a forum that my brain can not as easily provide.

Back to my initial assertion. Much of what goes on in my life is not discussed here. This is a forum mostly for exploration of the insignificant, in an effort to derive significance. What is already significant may not be explored here, mostly for privacy reasons, but also because my brain, and in its communication with other brains, is a better forum for their exploration, if any is necessary.

There are significant things in my life that are not discussed here. Simply because they are not discussed here means nothing of their significance. I guess thats all i wanted to say. O wait. I have some bagettes in the oven. I ran out of regular flour so the leftover dusting is being done with corn flour… we’ll see how it all turns out.

O and i should also mention today was incredibly productive. Drapes were hung, plumbing was pushed, shelves were assembled, floors were cleaned (a little), aquariums were brought out of hibernation, and breakfast was eaten. Very productive. That is mostly over now, the night is here, and its time to get my play on.

what else to say?

When life is good, is there any reason to lament? I guess about food i’ve made, which has been little… lets see, what are the food highlights of recent days:
- dim sum at yangtzee last weekend
- coconut drink and veggie pho at vietam noodle house… at least i think thats what its called
- dim sum indonesian style at some indonesian place in kanata. Interesting, hardboiled eggs that were a little green smothered in peanut sauce, vedy strange but good!
- so much pho
- gluten free corn pasta with jalepno’s (no time to check spelling)
- spicey pickled eggplant from direnzo’s
- the veggie sandwhich from direnzo’s when they haven’t run out of the good bread
- when you get to smoke in a popular ottawa indian restaurant when the staff wanna party and you’re still there, but they don’t wanna push you out
- lots of fruit, including fresh figs n dates
- hazelnuts
- wings…

ok i’m kinda petering out there, but you get the jist. Life is super, i just wish i had more time to…. i dunno. I guess i don’t wish for anything but more of the same. And even that i don’t think i can handle. I’m just gonna roll with it. I do wish i had been taking more pictures of food and other stuff. THat i should give’r on. THen give’r some more.

O, one unrelated thing that was good. “He died with a falafel in his hand“. Very cool movie, totally my style, super kickass.
