The
Second Coming
by William Butler Yeats
TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Gaming, gaming, gaming.
Warcraft Update
I suppose you've noticed that the WoW section keeps shrinking. Can't update something you haven't been doing, right?
Anyway, I love the game, but have very little time for nerdy pursuits. As much as I enjoy them!
I keep telling my friends that "as soon as we move" I'll have more time. It could happen! Really. No, seriously. I mean it...I'm pretty sure I do!
That is all. Carry on. ;-
(in no particular order, well, except for the first one...) Springsteen, Tom Robbins, Maya Angelou, Mary Magdeline, Steven Tyler, Julian of Norwich, Edouard Manet, Jamie Lee Curtis. Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, FDR, Jesus, and James Joyce (the ineluctable modality of the visible, indeed!)...well, and the world. Head on. With vigor.

What am I listening to these days?
Joni, Sting, Bruce...Rodney Crowell, Patty Griffin, Stoney Larue, Bob Schneider, Shawn Colvin, Don Henley, Elvis and Elvis, Bobby Darin (always), Aimee Mann, The Clash, Todd Snider, Cake, Peter Murphy, Uncle Kracker, Henry Mancini, Ray Wylie Hubbard (damn he's good), The Foundations, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Dylan (Idiot Wind, oh yeah), Cameo and Carl Douglas, Weird Al (strangely), Mark Knopfler, Beth Hart, Bowie and Los Lonely Boys.
I wish I had a poem to put here. I suppose it's not quite time to have a new one, maybe. At any rate, no one else could say what I feel or think. So I think I'll just reflect upon the year, and let the poetry find itself.God Bless You
