90% metaphor with a leanness of meaning: April 2006
http://90percentmetaphor.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
90% metaphor with a leanness of meaning. 10% of what i write is literal. 90% is metaphor. can you tell which is which? Wednesday, April 26, 2006. In the spring becomes the rose. For the past five years, this time has meant one thing - the end of end-of-year exams and the start of a new set of activities for the summer months. for four of those years, the end of april also meant moving. Its hard to say, since i only traveled the path that i chose. between papers, exams, nights at the rideout, drinking...

Goofs and Gadflies: December 2005
http://ryestar.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 11, 2005. The only constant is change. It's the pace of change that can be unnerving. I have lost a lot of my definition. I have found that the undefined have a definite difficulty with definition. Since a lot of what I do here is the definitive "me", I definitely have defaulted to desolation and blog dereliction. This ain't au revoir, it's goodbye." - Roger Waters, Radio KAOS. Be back in a few to continue being a gadfly. Posted by Rye at 7:18 AM. I write, so you don't have to.

Goofs and Gadflies: August 2005
http://ryestar.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 25, 2005. Sweet, sweet burn. Of sun and summer wind. And you my friend. My new fun thing. What can't be discerned from our winged wonders of the hinterland is the emotional cost of this surreal life. Penguins are compelled to do what they must to survive. Humanity is often the other way around. Humanity revels in the drama of life. It diffuses the focus of reality and allows us a momentary reprieve from the responsibilities of like, say, sanity? Posted by Rye at 3:18 PM. The Culture of Me.

Goofs and Gadflies: October 2005
http://ryestar.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 24, 2005. There's so much I need to say to you,. So many reasons why;. You're the only one who really knew me at all" - Phil Collins. How can I be so content, so happy, and yet so sad, all at the same time? What causes this caustic conflagration of comical calamity to incite such a multiplicity of emotion? Why do I have to feel all of it? Can I just not be swayed by one predominant set of reactions? Something to cloud my judgment and objectivity? Back to square one. No, it does not. I...

Goofs and Gadflies: What you Get.
http://ryestar.blogspot.com/2006/05/what-you-get.html
Wednesday, May 24, 2006. So how do we maintain our connections? And by we, I mean "I". But this blog isn't about me, at least not in the sense that I write about things exclusive to my life. I hope that the subjects in these missives are as universal as the floppy breasts on the centerfold of National Geographic. Posted by Rye at 5:37 PM. Time to quit your job and go backpacking around europe. I'm just glad to have the chance to read your writing again. Glad you are well. Im just glad your nuts are OK.

Goofs and Gadflies: A Post on Censorship
http://ryestar.blogspot.com/2011/02/post-on-censorship.html
Wednesday, February 16, 2011. A Post on Censorship. This is a joint statement by many bloggers about the recent ban on VIN and the actions taken against VIN and the companies that advertise on the site. Kudos to R. Gil Student for drafting this statement and to the other bloggers who were primarily responsible for pushing the effort forward. To the best of our understanding, this activity is illegal. One individual told us he reported that harassment to the police. If he calls or e-mails you or your orga...

Andrew's Blog: September 2005
http://burtonandrew.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 29, 2005. So today I was admitted to the waiting room of the Ivory Tower and told that if I returned at an unspecified future date, I might be allowed to take a number for a later appointment, at which point my admittance might be considered. Might it be possible for me to directly apply to the MA program? I cannot determine this until I see your complete application.". If I will have to do undergraduate qualifying courses, what might that look like? Any other thoughts or guidance?

Andrew's Blog: March 2006
http://burtonandrew.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 24, 2006. Of Choir And Hog Slaughter. I wrote this in response to a Montreal choir friend's challenge to write a sonnet about the beauty of a pig's nose. Those past days fondly I recall,. When baton led voices singing,. In poutine heaven, Montreal! Whose churches harmony set ringing. My voice no longer sings in song,. Dust falls upon my folder,. Not tux but hard hat now I don,. That hogs my hands may butcher. Though art and fact’ry different be,. Ourselves art does assess,. Finally, would a...
