Hey, first off, if you’re seeing this? Neat! The timed post feature worked! I’m testing it out because, well, I wanted to keep rambling but it didn’t feel appropriate to put it in the post about how awesome my co-workers are. Because it needs to stand alone. Because they’re awesome. So we’ll give this a go. Go back to yesterday and read it, if you haven’t. If this works, I may try to parcel out all my posts into their own individual things to have a bigger stream of content, especially since I now have an archive where you could find such content. Anyway…<\/p>\n
So, even though I’ve got way, way too much shit to do, doing homework and classes and interning and working, I’ve basically come up with two projects which I hope to finish up. One shouldn’t be TOO much of a problem to complete, the other moreso, but eh.<\/p>\n
First of all, my stupid brain keeps telling me “Hey, this would make a good poem title” as I listen to these awesome songs over and over again, and this is basically lead me to working on a poem sequence based on the songs from These Are The Good Times, People<\/em> by The Presidents of the United States of America. I’ve already got poems I like for 4 of the 14 tracks so far, and I’m going to keep scribbling in between classes until I have them all. After I get them done, though? Hell, I have no idea what I’m going to do with it. Chapbook? I mean, I don’t even know who would publish a sequence like that. But eh, it’s fun. And the poems aren’t completely bound to the songs, either, so they could work outside of it. Anyway, I’m working, poetically, on that.<\/p>\n The other project that I really need to do, and that I’m probably going to wait until after finals to start on, is putting together physical volumes of my blog posts, especially from the old site. Why would I do this? Well, this is my history. I can dream that, at some point, I’ll be gone, and I’ll have children or grandchildren who would be interested in how my life was. I have completely faith in the cloud to be around then, but not faith for it to be in this form. I already lost a year or so of blogging to me losing my old OpenDiary account because I never went there anymore. I’m not going to lose that history again. So I’m going to use my newfound publishing skills to put together a physical volume of my old blog posts and have it printed. I’m thinking with Lulu? I don’t know if they work like that? But yeah, I’m going to make that shit happen because it’ll feel good having all that on a shelf, looking all everything I’ve written and thought, and then it will be safe if I lose this data and whatnot. A big volume of years or blogging, and I’ll write an introduction and… yeah. Anyway, those are some things I’m going to be working on. Try to keep me honest, eh? I’d appreciate it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey, first off, if you’re seeing this? Neat! The timed post feature worked!

\nI doubt anyone else would want a copy of it, though. It would just be for me. But this feels like an important project. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do. I’ve got to do it.<\/p>\n
