In the dark I can feel your presence Just a hint of your face in the data-flowHear your voice along the sequence.... On the screenthere's adiagram of youAnd the disk where I saved it holds your name There are those who believe our love's not true But I still adoreyou all the same!Eleanor Rigby Sits at the keyboard And waits for a line on the screen Lives in a dream Waits for a signal Finding some code That will make the machine do some more. What is it for? All the lonely users, where do they all come from? All the lonely users, why does it take so long? Love PoemIt's so nice to wake up in the morning all alone and not have to tell somebody you love them when you don't love them any more. |
Entry on June Thirteenth, Nineteen Ninety Nine
All Watched Over by Machines of Loving GraceI like to think (and the sooner the better!) of a cybernetic meadow where mammals 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. Also walkabout, but I am way to head-achie and tired and cranky and bitchy and whiny to even TELL YOU! well, i sit here, drinking coffee, I have 3 bottles of port and a bottle of Tokey or however you spell it I am too tired too look and also some other stuff that doesn't matter all that much when it is quarter past nine on a sunday night. It would've been a school night if i had bothered to go to school but oh yes oh yes I consider myself to good to be bothered with academics. So as time goes on and it does it does, I remember my birthday just passed me my on the eighth of June and now I am twenty-two. I realize alot of people are this age and alot more have been and will be, but regardless (not irregardless) I still feel all significant and OLD. I wish I had made my first million like everyone else, or had an obscene amount of money at my disposal like everyone else. I am feeling rather angsty and peeved this evening. I have had a migraine since eleven o'clock Eastern Standard Time this evening and nothing has helped. My neck is killing me. I promised my beautiful lovely rational logical * that I would finish her website, and so I shall, even if it kills me, and I worry that it will. I also am putting the final touches on a painting that was designed and implemented by myself for Corky, the boy who has captured my heart and whom won't give it back. I am not a sex goddess, but you can ask some other people I know about it. Whatever he said, it isn't true. My Mom's birthday was yesterday. I remembered, and promptly forgot. "Is that bad?" Five years ago on June twelth, nineteen ninety four, O.J. Simpson went for a ride in his white ford Bronco. I stopped watching the tele for 2 years. I also was listening to Nirvana's most popular album, I forget what it was called. I was also listening to Pearl Jam's "10". I think I have better taste now. Well, then again, I am rather vain. My mom used to sing that song to me. "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you. You're so vain!" My mother made sure that to me, it WAS about me. Thank you mom. I love you. This is a weird admission but, i think my mom is dead. I really do. I could call someone and find out, but I don't want to know. Sorta like I could find out if my father is really my father. Some things you just don't want to find out. I think I cried last week. I can't remember why. It broke my heart at the time. It wasn't about you. I could care less what you think. This is more stuff I didn't write: "The bunny fit into her torn snatch well, and struggled as I began to sodomize her with the cross. It was great on film." I didn't write this either: "sammie was certainly a portrait from one of masters with shit shoved up his nose and shit tears running from his eyes, shit dribbling from his chin and still chewing one of the more palatable sections of the shit in his mouth in a slow grinding motion like a cow happily chews her cud. These silly sphincter shenanigans were over as sammie had most assuradely learned his lesson. These were enlightened times when a functional retard could be taught to control his defecation!" The thing that I find funny is that, I completely adore the people that wrote the above. I know for myself that is okay. |
5-27-99At some point, something changed, and became more complicated. I don't know when or how this happened, beyond that it has happened. There is alot of silt being stirred up in this marble quarry that i call my mind, storing and remembering and not letting anything go. Using pain for fuel is what I do, and sometimes, it hurts to look within. Got a few new books recently, sometimes you just need to be jumpstarted into reading after a hiatus, and fortunately, I have a few people in my life who know how to inspire and do.I hesitate to speak about love because, it isn't for you, it is for me. This is mine. I think about us alot though. Funny how at some points in your life, you almost want to throw everything away just to be with another person, and that isn't the answer. I am not advocating anything silly like waiting until some special point in time or some "act," marriage or otherwise that will make everything acceptable. No. I just understand waiting until you know what you want, and loving yourself for it. 5-17-99My dear lovers, forgive me for I have sinned. It has been one week since my last confession. I have been living in a false world of grandeur. I am in love with this amazing guy. Really, Dear, you must seem him, he is truely stunning. Well, you see dear, that is the main probelm. I don't even see him. He is across the Atlantic. My apartment is a complete mess. I bought some new Hardware At the MIT Flea, but, besides that, I have just been studying. I am SO busy! Everything always seems to be up in the air these days. Oh god. Neal Stephenson is signing books today in the City. Maybe I will go. I recently made this HTML-Artwork-Confession-THING. I am getting more and more caught up in philosophy and the theory of thought and how Cyberspace is changing and replicating and affecting accepted mediums and modes of thought. Everything is more complicated. I wonder if anyone that actively sought the truth was ever happy with their search of with what they found? I am afraid that I don't think that was ever the case.And as this rumble in my soul settles and the dust clears I somehow find I am not where I want to be. I can barely open my eyes after All this tiring work, and from what I can see. I feel I have landed in the wrong place. Eating Kashi Cocoa Pillows and Dulse... This doesn't taste very good. Strike a match.. light a candle... Throw the "candlelit shadow on the wall near the bed" into the past. Hear it on the radio. But, really. It this reality here? What is reality? Is it purely subjective? Are 'Friends' electric? Really? Why do people enjoy keeping it on this plane? Do you exist? 5-10-99It's been a month since I have moved in. Have you ever found yourself constantly being redefined everytime you move? things are hectic and insane, I feel like I am electricly charged, ready to lash out at someone/thing/idea. I has started painting again. I am close to the ocean, so that helps for inspiration. I have been taking a look at my socio-political views, and I am learning alot, but I don't really know where I stand. Most things are going well. I am happy, fairly stable, and now, I just need to reevaluate my long term goals. So many things have changed in the Telecommunications field in the past four years, that it seems you have to constantly redefine where you want to end up. I am under alot of stress again though. My eating problems are back, but I am still sleeping well. I didn't eat at all this week. Just six double hazelnut lattes a day. Kinda like this one guy and his icees.I am stressed alot cause I am constantly pushing myself to learn, I am working on getting a degree in philosophy now, as well as always pursuing knowledge. I am frustrated because I can never keep up. My musical output or my dramatics and painting always get swept aside. i can't keep up with everything I want to do. Also, horseback riding, or my chiropractic work. I can't seem to get it all in. I need to sort everything out. I just want to be happy. |
