Simply Offering Free Things (SOFT)™
-what-lightly-breaks-
Not charging anything for whatever I do is not the wisdom of practical success-oriented advisors and it does not resemble “what my elders tried to instill in me” during my formative years. Of course we often hear and say that learning never stops unless the mind is closed to it, and it benefits me to learn from my mistakes no matter how many or how few they may be. So as the struggle seems to continue whether times are “good ones” or not (and perhaps they never really are all that wonderful anyhow), the reassessment of past choices (for improvement’s sake at the very least) also keeps stride and offers opportunity to get stuck in regrets. After this long it seems more natural to bring the regrets along or else leave them behind, rather than staying there on “the road” with them and never moving on to what comes next, which is (as always) unknown and somewhat intimidating.
In the usual “good spirit” it seems that one more “selfless” act will be allowed, and the results (if any) will be added into this, the intentionally (as of this moment) final post in this blog.
Many other blogs will have more opportunities for attention (since only one time-experience is actually happening, and not all of the other imaginary possibilities that “might have been” up until the decision points are reached and passed) so the cessation of this “transmission” is only a local vacuum. The world of words will be unchanged overall from whatever else it might have been.
This is where I will put the other mp3 conversions of my friend’s compositions, unless for some unforeseen reason it is not wanted that way. But for the “unusual” among us, these kinds of things are more important and worthwhile than those things you can find some other “where” such as eBay or the web at large (which it really is, yet has no size at all).
Music, and nothing else. No more insightful words here, if ever there were such — unless (of course, it *is* possible) there are comments, or out-of-sync postings like this ver one, or “pages, not posts” on the sidebar, or several other ways of “not posting anymore” that make it easy to “not shut up really” even if someone (possibly with a nail-shaped name) wanted that to happen. It will happen, when it happens, the way it happens, because it should happen, and not because of someone’s wish.
What I do is not for sale, and it never was. Despite that fact, the status quo has it that we should be in debt to others with no concern for repaying it, since we have been given the free ticket. Unfortunately, that was really not what was intended by the gift (release from all responsibility for our actions) and so the slogans of all the grace junkies are now like poisonous asps preparing to strike.
Well, at least I did not claim to have that free ticket to rebel. That was “the BRAD” and his gang of Christ-humpers. That’s who that was. Those thorn-crown lovers and teasers. The funny-bunny hole-surfers in suits. You know who I mean. And of course, turns out after all that I am the mean old man. Well, guess what?
Flick you all. Up your bloody ascots (scarf-scarf! with a rumba hoax). Cheese us crust. What kind of fuel am I?

Here are the first two, which are also now on page 2, realistically resuming this pace to one-a-day, tops… as life tends to be that way somehow! And remembering not to skip at least some if not all of the ones in between the ones that actually get posted. Skip the missing ones, every time!
Note how these now sport proper titles and links so that the beloved readers (or frustrated and disappointed stalker) can easily (perhaps gaily) click over to ODEO™ and follow along while this particular podcast is growing (and you can bet that I’m particular!). Rather than “poke” each one into this place as they are completed, I will (hopefully this coming week, within the first fortnight of April) be able to present the entire eleven (if that’s how many there are). The only other other unpredictable singularity (we have been able to fathom) is that *some* of these purported “others” will show up in here (after being hatched over at that audio hosting place mentioned earlier, at least once) by this next Easter, which is coming round the mountain when she comes (and so on), but not through the rye. That is for bread, or whisky, or ergot poisoning/tripping. That’s what yer rye is fer! (at least sometimes it is…)
Did you catch that?

From A Canoe Trip (FACT)™
-not-friction-
When ideas pop into the mind of the person being popped into by the idea, the time is “right” and there seems to be “nothing we can do about it” in terms of scheduling the creative spark.
It might come years ahead of time, for all we know. This is someone else’s song. Probably it delights me more than it does the author herself, but that would be par for the course. When someone tries to refine their own work of art, the end might never be reached completely. Meanwhile, the rest of the world wants to see what the artist sees too. So we look, again…
At the whim of intermittent internet relays, this seems to work only part of the time, not all of the time:
[this "ringer" is just the PLACE-HOLDER for the time-being, where time, being in no place, will hold us for now](17:27 3/31/2007 no longer applicable)
(we’ll put the ODEO™ player here when the mp3 file is hosted and working, or ghosted and lurking…)
Good job. Nice canoe trip; one-of-a-kind, like all of them. That sounds like nonsense, but it is not. Life is full of many, similar, unique experiences, and some truly outstanding ones as well. But obviously, only just very few things, or even just one thing, can really be outstanding.
OR THIS, THE SMALLER YET LONGER LASTING MODEL:
I shall call this outstanding, but then, it seems like I’ve been waiting. That is my happy illusion.

and now, if the restlessness seems native, then drum up an idea somehow…
oh, yeah…
or the other one, not looping
oh what the loop, why knot?
oh, yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah…

rin?
Or not that it is better or worse, both of them, using the melodic piece as “bread” on the outside and the percussion work as “meat” to fill the entire inside of it, since without any rhythm at all, it really is not music of any kind. Just a long, neverending hummmmmmmmmmmm…. (this one does not loop)
+-=g=-+ (sparklies are next, maybe?)
09:15 4/3/2007 another afterthought added aaa:
12:34 4/3/2007 and to observe motherhood (atom):
YouTube – Mother’s Day (yes, it’s almost a whole year “stale” by now, I know, I know…)
perhaps I shall merely add little things here, but no more on the top
17:34 4/8/2007 Now with eSnips added into the “party” we wonder even further…
sigh…
Now to see if we can make the audio player widget work at WP, which would be somewhat of a “win”!

Extremely Minor Update (EMU)™
This is flashy, and it is video. You like flashy video?
(me like-um all of nature, even scary like this is)
You (and I) have not enough time for all of it. Take, as
we are told, what is “provide” by the way it goes…
You might check the previous entry; it also got updated.

Dessert (non-fattening, lo-cal, all-vapor) follows:
=+=
16:28 4/4/2007 Oh no! all my beautiful work, and it did not stand? (this normal)
my “dessert offering” seems to be broken, so I will split it into pieces
(this was once known as ‘rending asunder’ which certain people do sometimes)
We’ll just hope (or pray but I think this is trivial) that at least one will work!
(I talked to someone today! It was most pleasing!)
–g
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
And now an even better idea: since two of those five are broken today (4/4/2007) then I shall replace them with two other completely different ones (no two are alike anyhow) so then what I may as well do is just add a few more here and there, or change them around, and it would help if I put labels or names or annotations with them so they were discernable. But then, the fun guesswork, the “Easter Egg Hunt” (eeh?) would not be there, would it? So have fun, listening to whatever I find and choose to put on a little player widget here. You certainly cannot listen to them all at once, but of course, that’s not really true: you can listen to several at once, but it sounds unenjoyable that way, as far as I can tell.
Even the cat doesn’t like it.

(“it’s like a sad, sad movie…”)
(alright, it’s the ‘count five’)
now, to find some extra ones, some treats after the treats…
how high should this pile get? bottom’s up!

don’t marry a career carpenter? (ha ha, obliquely obscure reference)
oh, my! darling?
