At the core, it is bitter earnestness

That makes beauty.

Our hyperlinked life fosters shallow paranoia
Superficial fear, overthinking the points of silence.

And binary sarcasm doesn’t tell
Except to worst enemies, and best friends.

There in lies emoticons’ use
Roughshod road signs, for the momentarily emotionally disabled.

Emoticons are among the irritating things
Written emoticons, worse.

Removing meaning from dialog
Debasing language, a junk food trope.

As simile or metaphor, useless
Comparing two things, one unknown and one vapid.

Sampling of design and architecture are brought together, unearthing 21st century lifestyles of quiet desperation. This, is funny.

I posted one of Laura Veirs videos before.

After that (and no connection) she became really cool and was posted as one of iTunes favored artists.

I’m loving her stuff. She is coming to the Washington area on February 18, the IOTA Club in Arlington.  I’m going to be there and I’m going to try and drag a bunch of folks from my school with me.

Laura Veirs has a new album called July Flame. Visit her blog and download the two free tracks from her web boutique.  Her record label,  Raven Marching Band Records, is where you can buy the album.

Somebody extracted the untamed Id (see Freud for definition) of a middle school boy in Social Studies class and hired it as a writer for this website. See: Hannah Duston. (Caution, the website gets a PG-13 for language, graphic historical story-telling, and unbridled adolescent maleness.)
