Six Times Alive

I'm trying to explain to you who I am through the content of this site because we won’t be this way very long. Even more of me: Investments, some photography, and bringing you there. (Archive / RSS)

To love someone is to learn the song in their heart, and sing it to them when they have forgotten

Weird trivia: My modern-day office is only a block north of that address!

Little-known thing: I keep a Tumblr that contains only covers of New Order’s “Ceremony.” Another track was added today, bringing the total to now 16 bands participating.

A kind reminder: Join committees and boards as your time allows and you, too, can ensure that the park your balcony overlooks gets a dozen beautiful trees, three new picnic areas, and a couple new benches in the summer.

If you’re unemployed, it’s not because there isn’t any work.

Just look around: A housing shortage, crime, pollution; we need better schools and parks. Whatever our needs, they all require work. And as long as we have unsatisfied needs, there’s work to be done.

So ask yourself, what kind of world has work but no jobs? It’s a world where work is not related to satisfying our needs, a world where work is only related to satisfying the profit needs of business.

This country was not built by the huge corporations or government bureaucracies. It was built by people who work. And, it is working people who should control the work to be done. Yet, as long as employment is tied to somebody else’s profits, the work won’t get done.

Do the work.

Do the work.

Once in a while I make a tweet so dumb I need to save it, here.

This is also my 5000th post in Tumblr.

The way my heart beats.

Thanks for being there with me.

I need to remember to share parts of my life here more often. This is my favorite word, let’s, hand lettered and now in my home.

Twitter and Instagram get the bulk of life news and raw updates, and Tumblr, which used to be the secret cutie hideout has been neglected for so long that it’s almost begun anew. Who even knows what I’m doing in Facebook, but it’s sometimes fun.

Anyhow, hi again, bye again!
