<p>Boundless pain<br />
Boundless joy<br />
Boundless monotony<br />
Boundless novelty</p>
<p>Firmly planted<br />
Observing everything at once<br />
Each passerby&#8217;s situation both familiar and unknowable<br />
Hopes of the future<br />
Dreams crushed</p>
<p>God is in his heaven and all is right in the world<br />
The conditions aligned just right<br />
But tomorrow, or next month, completely unpredictable<br />
Certainly sorrow or depression can not be too far away<br />
Still, the joy of now worth the chance of tomorrow&#8217;s low<br />
Indeed; only possible in contrast</p>
<p>And yet, the smug self awareness of this is-ness<br />
Keeps me just this side of oblivion<br />
The ego still holding out<br />
Keeping this secret joy to itself<br />
Instead of releasing it into the void</p>

<p>Garbled video,  &#8221;You need to restart your computer&#8221;, what does this mean?<br />
I tried many searches but no appropriate result could be seen.</p>
<p>Good thing I had backed up <em>almost</em> all my data;<br />
To a recently purchased external SATA. </p>
<p>After a day of rebooting, it finally logs in; <br />
RSync the documents folder, for the win!</p>
<p>Now off to the Genius Bar for diagnostics and repair;<br />
Though, my warranty expired, I had some despair. </p>
<p>After some tests, a known problem, the same; <br />
Twas Nvidia and <em>not</em> Apple who was to blame!</p>
<p>So, no Mac during Christmas&#8211;which is a bit dreary;<br />
But at least the repairs will be complimentary!</p>

<p>Can you propogate the anti-meme without creating a meme? I’m inclined to say: &#8220;not intentionally.&#8221;</p>

Of his computer making<br />

		<description><![CDATA[I can not sleep
though it is night;
my brain is to active
my mind sees light.
Apparently I drank
too much coffee today;
two black, two irish
too much for one day?
My heart pumps strong
each definite beat;
reminds me, soundly
that I can not sleep!
My head on my pillow
my body in bed;
how can I sleep
with this light in my head?

I see in high contrast
ideal aesthetics
a closer look
a second pass.
Creating concrete from dream
blurring the lines
escaping reality
movement
shutter speed, kaleidoscope.
Dark long spiky hair
climb the summit
close my eyes
release my ego
souring consciousness.

through space
through time
A tunnel that breaks the surface
Break through lightning
my heart pounds faster
hair wisps by like feather drops
The wind leaves me here on
a concrete island.
Look for transit, a way through the tunnel
a faster train
a ship off this island.
My life spreads out
flowing cape of angel wings
take flight,
rip space,
transcend,
Does love wait?
