- So two days not aggregating leaves a boatload of links to give you, adding, there was not a deleted bleggalgaze regarding the days nor an abandoned bleggalgaze, there was a contemplated bleggalgaze but there wasn't a started bleggalgaze.

- Truer words rarely spoken: Sir Alex Ferguson has warned David Moyes the biggest challenge will be the "enormity" of Manchester United when taking over as manager and said his successor will decide if Wayne Rooney should stay at the club. After Sunday's trip to West Bromwich Albion, Ferguson steps down in his 27th year in charge of United. Asked what Moyes should give the most consideration to when becoming manager, Ferguson said: "I think the enormity of the club – he will soon realise that anyways. The global brand and number of sponsors we have here, he has to fit into that. I don't think that's an issue, though, and the most important thing is the team. Alternatively, more proof that one of the most powerful words in the English language has lost its meaning.

ALONE FOR A WEEK
Jane Kenyon
I washed a load of clothes
and hung them out to dry.
Then I went to town
and busied myself all day.
The sleeve of your best shirt
rose ceremonious
when I drove in; our night-
clothes twined and untwined in
a little gust of wind.
For me it was getting late;
for you, where you were, not.
The harvest moon was full
but sparse clouds made its light
not quite reliable.
The bed on your side seemed
as wide and flat as Kansas;
your pillow plump, cool,
and allegorical....
I'd claim it, the offer is typically friendly of you, but will just leave it at a heartfelt thanks for introducing me to her.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, thanks for Kind words.
DeleteI love this post because it is very very interesting.Thanks you very much for shearing this article
ReplyDeleteSorry that your spam didn't offer you discount coconut oil or wedding shoes, neither of which will be my next purchase. Eat it, big data.
ReplyDeleteYes, but you get a free shearing.
ReplyDelete~
i see that jane kenyon was born the same year i was, but never made it out of the twentieth century
ReplyDeletethis may be why her poem about the guy eating yogurt claims it is "cool, sweet food, which has caused no animal to suffer"
alas, this is untrue of most yogurt, made as it is from the milk of imprisoned cows, separated all too soon from their calves, who are then confined in conditions i will not describe here
but these days the guy could be eating soy yogurt, of course
and speaking of shearing, as ...thunder... does, reminds me of the catchy acronym MICFiC -
ReplyDeleteMICFiC
M ilitary
I ndustrial
C ongressional
Fi nancial
C orporate Media Complex
The second "i" in MICFiC is not capitalized, which makes it a bit more interesting if it should ever come to the "graphic design" stage, as well as facilitating easy pronunciation -
mick-fick
I wondered if I could come up with an aphoristic explanation, and decided that the elevator version is:
The MICFiC is a conspiracy to use, abuse, and confuse the people, to "milk, shear, and slaughter the sheeple", figuratively speaking - except the "slaughter" is literal.
I've seen you write of MICFiC before, it's smart.
ReplyDeleteI am eating Kinder lately, not nearly conscientiously enough, of course, trying to buy clothes and stuff more conscientiously; seemed like a place to start to reinterogate my options vis a vis my complicity vis a vis vis a vis.
