I want a song I can sing forever/ I don't care for structure just to know it's mine. Sunday, April 30, 2006. And So It Is. Atheism, in its broadest sense, is an absence of belief in the existence of gods. This definition includes both those who assert that there are no gods, and those who make no claim about whether gods exist or not. Agnosticism is the philosophicl. Values of certain claims particularly. Claims regarding the existence of God, gods. How is it possible, for example, to define one as a sol...

Ashes: September 2006

I want a song I can sing forever/ I don't care for structure just to know it's mine. Sunday, September 24, 2006. Maybe it’s because I’m studying him at two in the morning or because I am running on a stomach full of weak tea with no sugar, but Socrates (or should I say Plato) is driving me crazy. To my tired mind, this is what a Socratic diatribe reads like:. A Treatise on Pigs (or, Socrates as interpreted by me). Socrates: By the dog! What is a pig? What makes a pig a pig? Is it that it has four legs?

Ashes: August 2006

I want a song I can sing forever/ I don't care for structure just to know it's mine. Thursday, August 31, 2006. I sit at the laptop with the clean white keyboard, hands poised over the keys, ready to record the first thought that rushes into my mind. But because I want it, nothing will come. Writer’s block, a sure sign of a rusty imagination? And then there are four little men standing on me. First they aren’t there, and then suddenly they are. Are you writing about us Nell? I say out loud in surprise.

I want a song I can sing forever/ I don't care for structure just to know it's mine. Monday, May 29, 2006. I forget sometimes, what it is like to be that age, forget just how much can be learnt from just listening sometimes. Not yet, I replied, trying to be cryptic until I figured out their real intent. You want to be Probation Officer ah Ma’am? Maybe, I grinned. Then why you give them so much heartache? It’s the most exhausting thing I’ve ever done. Seven day weeks are not uncommon here, after all, ...

Ashes: October 2006

I want a song I can sing forever/ I don't care for structure just to know it's mine. Sunday, October 22, 2006. If ever her sky was a different blue, she didn’t let it show. If ever she had died inside, I was the last to know. In some ways, I can read her thoughts as clearly as water distilled from a pumice stone. I wear her heart on her sleeve for her and she wears my body for me. She could be me. For all her airs and gossip. The fat chickens at the market filling the air with a bile-inducing sme...I mov...

Ashes: December 2006
http://themarblearch.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
I want a song I can sing forever/ I don't care for structure just to know it's mine. Saturday, December 23, 2006. The Night Before The Night Before. Ron Sexsmith, she knows, sings just the right song. Aptly-titled, hopelessly sanguine Maybe This Christmas . The tune is like a mantra in her head all evening, a Mobius strip of sound charged with hurdy-gurdy longing. Maybe this Christmas will mean something more,. Maybe this year, love will appear,. Deeper than ever before. It’s just a song. On A More Frivo...

I want a song I can sing forever/ I don't care for structure just to know it's mine. Friday, July 28, 2006. The End of the Affair. There are so many things I am going to miss about this job. I only have time to list a few of them. But for the record, I will always think back on this experience fondly. Running out at eleven-thirty to talk to M in the watery gold of the late morning. I’ve learnt so much. But somehow, right now, the only memories I have are of the people who taught me. Monday, July 24, 2006.

Ashes: June 2006

I want a song I can sing forever/ I don't care for structure just to know it's mine. Monday, June 26, 2006. A Day in the Life. So I was passing by the office pantry on my way to the toilet and a sudden abundance of people in the pantry caught my eye. I looked in and there were actually four count ‘em, four plumbers in the tiny 10 square-foot pantry trying to fix the leaky hot water spout. AND after they left, the spout was. Such government efficiency and economy, I say! Me: Okay. You know, we need to...

I want a song I can sing forever/ I don't care for structure just to know it's mine. Tuesday, November 28, 2006. You Got THAT Right. Five minutes before we entered the exam hall for our social psychology exam I suddenly blanked out and turned to June in a panic. Dude, what’s the intuitive scientist mindset again? It’s what people do when they want to take the information they have, make conclusions on it and use those conclusions to act on the information. Hmm This is why we aren’t taking econs.". M and ...
