No gravitas here, I am a Joy Ninja! Yup, I got a new blog. Think of it as a sequel to Tao of Prosperity. When you’ve got your money situation managed, what do you want to do? Change the world! I will peregrinate through the various ideas I find revolutionary and beautiful.
Shine, shine, shine. […]

today i’m just here to report that i have been waking up in the middle of the night lately.
it gets worse.
i start thinking about work and my clients and all the paperwork, the endless paperwork yet to be done.
it’s not a bad feeling really, just inconvenient.  i would prefer to be fast asleep in the […]

I feel like starry-eyed like the purveyer of a new revolution. It’s Web 2.0, man! It’s open source culture! Dig it! I’m writing notes everywhere, trying to figure out my thoughts. I’m reading articles about the rise of Barak Obama and Web 2.0 sensibilities. I’m finding the cool kids and plotting my strategy to […]

just when you thought the weather would maintain a semblance of normalcy, it did not.
now we are engulfed in slush, produced after a midwinter evening’s snowfall met with a torrential downpour come morning.
the first walk with hamlet resulted in a thorough foot soaking for me, and a paw soaking for him.  the next walk of […]

I am much taken lately with Twitter. Every day I get much pleasure out of spitting little blurts about my daily goings-on. It’s like having a portable confessional. Meanwhile I also get to follow my friends blurts. Many of which are comments on other frineds, who I then also can follow. It makes an otherwise dreary day […]

Today, I’m going to use all of those words in a sentence. But first, two algebra haikus. Written during algebra.
Do you know what’s fun?
Simplifying radicals.
(That was sarcasm.)
While in algebra,
I often say to myself,
“When will I need this?”
The regent outgunned the hag with his banter and his whip; the hag sang her coda as she only […]

My mouse is blinking at me with a red evil eye. FEED ME BATTERIES. Oh blah.
I have no witty banter in me. My grouchy inner hag has outgunned my PollyAnna with a barbed whip. I don’t feel like writing.

Schmecky isn’t in my little wordweb dictionary, so what do I do, go off and find it? Can’t. Only have a few minutes to write.
Diamonds. That necklace I wrote about the other night, the one that Manny gave me, had a little diamond in the middle. I think all the stones were real. I […]

There’s a book called I’ll Take You There: Pop Music and the Urge for Transcendence. It’s about how modern culture listens to music to get those glimpses of communion people used to get in church. I agree totally. I’m the generation, of course.

Sometimes we sit around
Just the two of us on the park bench
