<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have recently discovered a new very fun pastime. It is stream of conscious writing. As I do this exersize I find some pretty good poetry. So I am going to share it here, and add more as I can!! None of it is supposed to make sense, but actually, more sense than I expected...</span><br />
<br />
<strong>1.</strong><br />
<strong>smooth as silk and gray as day it seems to be all the time and again I will remember you are not the one i thought you were but blow your horn until the cows come home and the horses gallop and the snakes sneak and the cats roar and the beds sleep. I see you are the only one Iknow that is all balled up like the snow if you throw it at me you will break my heart and who know where all the pieces are because the pieces fell between the cracks and the cracks have moved a long way from home so you can't trace your steps or break your back it doesn't matter any more like it used to and I am tired of hearing about it but I can't stop it and it plays like a broken record and reel and shows me all the time how I feel about you.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>2.</strong><br />
<strong>the ground shakes like a milkshake is very vanilla and chocolately small my name is ANna and you are proud of me for making an effort even if it is very small my purse is wrinkly and black and it comes from the Bahamas where the nights smell of spice and the spice is silky as dew and peanut butter sandwiches which stand around you and dance in a circle about the trumpet call and the rain in the sky and the air in the bear and the brown old book which stands upon the dresser.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>3.</strong><br />
<strong>Below the air is care and the old eagle sees me run I hear a deaf man gurgle when he brushes his teeth and I am in front of him in line at the bakery and the coffee is hot and I am tired and need about 10 cups of the stuff but you smile and I snicker and the line gets shorter until I finally can get a whale of a fish to put in my cup.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>4.</strong><br />
<strong>banana brain is like a sea of hay and the cows come home to a dream of snow which is white as it always is but the yellow comes when the cows walk and the snow is churned like butter and becomes heavy and slow and sticky to your shoe or boot or heal the wounds of the past by admitting you are wrong and the wrong is not yours but another stranger that followed you home and asked for a blanket to sleep on and on and on until you can't run anymore or you will throw up your hands in surrender or praise or to grab the monkey bar in the dark at the park which smells like yesterday and the braids in your hair which furrow and plow the strands until the crescent becomes a bow and the gold spun is run away with the spoon.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>5.</strong><br />
<strong>hide and seek my stream of water and brown brown muddy earth the heaven and the earth meet together when the sky sings to the moon and the silver clouds stream all streamy and dreamy like when you fall asleep in the back seat of the car on a long road trip and it is time to go back home where you recognise all of the landmarks which are like cars and bars and pretty scars which contrast with the holy and the lonely bread and butter and cakes for supper i like to eat salad and butter and the bread needs a band of honey and money is short but it tastes like straw</strong><br />

Dedicated to my Hardware Essentials class at MATC<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>a short story about my computer hardware class at some point in the near future.</strong></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763;"></span></strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>"Tech News today anyone?" the teacher asked the class. Cosmo raised his hand. Silver light flashed from his laser pointer fingers. "Hey," said the teacher, "can you switch that thing to student mode while you are in class?" "Sorry," said Coz, "just got in off of the astroball court and a wicked game of atom smasher against my synth droid Oliver. I barely just packed him up in my charger shorts on the way to class." Snickers and laughter bubbled up all around him. Everyone knew that Cosmo Barber couldn't hit a molec target to save his life and had really probably been running around chasing the large pea-brain hairy toads that ran in the alleyway behind the campus self-sustaino center. They were attracted to the smelly gases emitted when recycled junk was being processed into mulch for the vegetable tanks where the school's nourishment packets were synthed. Their glowing eyes were just the perfect target for laser shooting practice and the satisfying spray of green goo at their demise made them a very popular mark. "Never mind that," the teacher went on. "Can you share with the class the tech news you have for today?" "OK," came the reply. "GalaxyLord has announced their plans to come out with a new devise that is supposed to revolutionize portable note taking and assignment writing. Microsoft says it has a superior prototype, that is cheaper, more efficient and customizable. GalaxyLord says their devise is easily compostable after use and Microsoft says they will replace the used items when they are "empty" for a small monthly fee. GalaxyLord says there is no contract and they are supplying the first 1000 customers with a "life-time" supply in a rainbow of colors."</strong></span><br />

<strong><span style="color: #073763;"></span></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>"What could be superior to our text-helmet instructors and pillow.Net brain-bakers for the perfect intelligence upgrades and personality tweakers?" chirped Hernia, the prim class mascot who was perched on teacher Allen's shoulder. Her shiny green and blue aura feathers seemed to ripple against the instructors right cheek. Cosmo squinted his right eye and lifted up his hand with the trigger finger just leveling at the visio-bird's bright head. "Squawk!!" cried Hernia. "O-Kay...OH--KAY--EE", that will be two demerit points for Hernia and 10 demerits for Cosmo Barber." interrupted the instructor as she got up to close the door to the classroom. A crowd of students were beginning to gather in the hallway and gawk through the door. "Cosmo, switch off your laser fingers and sit down."</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763;"></span></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>"I found some pictures on Google!" cried Jeff P, always looking for a chance to take the focus off anyone else and on to him and his custom-made swirling info-materializer. His dad was the famous Dr. Smellwell, and though most folks thought he was another nut-case employed by the controlling Shockwave Party, in reality he was just a genius socio-path secretly employed by Best Buy-O Mart trying out his "psychology" on his only son Jeff P. hoping to keep the socio-path in genius for another generation to come. So, as if on cue, Jeff P. switched his materializer-moniter onto "share" mode and everyone in the classroom was suddenly staring at their own "mini" view of the thin cylindrical objects marked "TOP-SECRET" floating about 10 cm from their nasal filtering units and glowing a squeamish pink and gray--like the color of thawed out meat that has sat in your refrigerator for too long. Jeff couldn't resist the dramatic opportunity to exclaim, "Here we are, the FIRST to see this ground breaking concept!" Hernia's aura crackled and she slipped off of Ms. Allen's shoulder and fell with a thud to the ground. A wave of static electricity blew across the front row of students causing the hair on their arms to stand up straight like tiny pins and needles. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763;"></span></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>Suddenly it seemed as if the apparitions were real! Like a child in another world astride a painted pony would try to snag the brass ring for a prize, everyone in the classroom was trying to grasp at the miraculous devices with their pointed metallic fingers. Somehow something was out of place. Yet the objects were so compelling. Hypnotizing even. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763;"></span></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>Unbeknownst to the entire classroom, Oliver had been sitting folded up in Cosmo's locker under his jacket and listening to everything. Everyone's locker was a portable device and followed each student from class to class rather like a helium balloon, hooking up to the ceiling wherever they went to attend lessons. Cosmo had "bent" the truth a bit, he really HAD been chasing hairy frogs and Oliver, rather than joining in on the fun was left to his own amusements, and then hastily stuffed away out of sight when it was time to go to class. Oliver was a rather simple fellow as synth droids tend to be. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763;"></span></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>Because Coz was still saving up enough credits to upgrade Oliver to laser fingers version 3.1, he had had to make due with the BASIC version of hands, picking them up at "SWAP" for a very reasonable price. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763;"></span></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>Oliver reached down from above Cosmo's head and snatched the precious pointy things from before Cosmo's sight. Cosmo actually remained calm. No one else except for Ms Allen had seen what had happened since everyone else was still staring dreamy eyed at their own info-materializers and waving their pointy fingers back and forth through the swirl of their pinkish-grey prize. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>The utilization pod instantly downloaded into Oliver's cpu. He knew exactly what he was going to do next. He would hang on to the item with the "Galaxy Lord" logo of a primitive red fruit with a bite out of it for later. He hopped to the ground, looked square at Jeff P's face and then thoughtfully turned to look at the teacher. She was looking back at him and preparing to lock the class into stasis for 5 minutes as is occasionally done to retain peace and calm when things get a bit "frisky". The students' receive a cranial reboot. This is routine troubleshooting procedure. Works about 80% of the time. Unfortunately synth droids are free-roaming and hard to lock in with the rest of the human interfaces. So when the reboot was initializing, Oliver was busy. In the wink of an eye he took the cylindrical object in the fleshy fingers of his right hand and began to drag the object across the teacher's forehead up and down, back and forth. You would have thought that he was a proto-illusionist, a magician, waving his magic wand and saying the magic words, "PEPSI". The stylus had left a heavy black advertisement upon the teachers mug. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763;"></span></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>Later that day at BestBuy-O Mart... </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763;"></span></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>"Yes Sir, that is the very latest, most multi-functional pair of laser fingers credits can buy. You are a very savvy shopper, Mr. Twist. Please come again!" Oliver emerged from the Geek Squid operating room holding his new hands out in front of himself and admiring them. He nodded at the salesperson, grinned and slowly floated out the entrance of the shop. In the meantime the staff in the upgrade operating room speculated amongst themselves how an independent synth droid with fleshy fingers had come up with the "scratch" to upgrade to the 4.0 beta version of laser mitts, only just released by Sunny Micro-Systems earlier that week. Few humans much less an independent synth droid, could afford to do such a thing. "I heard that there are subliminal downloads on the black market, and successful operators make a good profit placing the highest bidders advertising in the most strategic locations." "Oh, that is a bunch of hogwash." Said another staff person. "BestBuy-OMart has the corner on that industry. Who would be foolish enough to go against such a big and powerful force?" "Dennis, would you grab all of the old hardware from this last job and take it back to the wrap-shrinker for re-labeling and stocking? Got to follow standards to the letter you know!" Dennis, not wanting to risk a brain reboot, hustled to transport the container of parts to the "pit" as it was lovingly called for re-processing. "HEY! What are you trying to pull?" growled the old wrap-o droid. "This item doesn't fit the reclaim-o profiles. Where did you steal it from?" The pit was a very hot place-almost like an oven-and Dennis didn't want to stay any longer than necessary. "I will take responsibility and dispose of it. Don't know HOW that odd looking stick got mixed up in a synth droid's junk." He suspected that it was left deliberately. Man, what are we? A dump? He thought to himself. People only wanted to avoid the high credit fees for sustain-o disposal and commonly abandoned obsolete technology when they received upgrades. Oh well, he sighed to himself philosophically. "I will just hang on to it and maybe it will be worth something someday. My last computer lasted over 50 years and it is still running strong altho spewing a bit of black smoke every once in a while. Maybe I will be lucky!" </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><strong>"Let's all go for treats at McShoney's for the last 30 minutes of class!" declared Ms. Allen as she watched the lights coming back on line at her students' desks. She just wanted to salvage what was left of the day and was feeling strangely thirsty all of a sudden. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br />
<strong><span style="color: #073763;"></span></strong></span><br />

<strong><span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">"Oliver is missing." said Cosmo to his companion Hernia. "He was a bit sneaky anyhow, maybe I should shop around for another synth-o intelligence to keep me company." Hernia's prime directive was to "facilitate" learning and enforce peace and calm in Ms. Allen's classroom. Normally shut up in the class room, the field trip to the consupt-o mart for carbonated refreshments had somehow stimulated her "adapt-o circuits" and for better or worse she was going through a "spontaneous" de-programming to suit the new environment. She whistled a merry tune and spread out her multi-colored aura feathers.</span> </span></strong><br />

I saw it the day after Christmas. The 3-d effects were great! I liked the sacred tree and how it was all full of light. The other thing i really liked was the flying lizard things and how they were connected to their riders. The one'ness was a vital part of the relationship. <br /><br />Another movie that i can really get into is "The Matrix". I like the high tech look and the spare parts look of other parts of tech in the flick. It blows my mind that the characters in the "real world" can view the other reality by "reading" the code that slides vertically down their computer screens. <br /><br />My fave movie of all time is "Independence Day". I love it when Will Smith takes down an alien ship and then shleps the smelly beast across the sand to the underground defense shelter. Great visceral release that. And of course who can resist cheering for the humans when redemption comes for the has-been alcoholic pilot when he sacrifices his life to take down the alien ship with the classic: "Up yours!"<br /><br />I also think Mel Gibson was genius in "Conspiracy Theory". He was sooooo whack-o especially when they taped his eyeballs open to torment him--and then he still managed to get away injuring Patrick Stewart by biting him on the nose in the process!<br /><br />I love the muppet movies. that is it. A pig, a frog, music, and Jim Henson. Awesome stuff.Harriet Alienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04856503514889484010noreply@blogger.com0
