modest mouse rules.
Yup. This is pretty much it, in a nutshell. Modest Mouse rules.
If the world’s at large, why should I remain?
Walked away to another plan.
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.
I move on to another day,
to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Went to the porch to have a thought.
Got to the door and again, I couldn’t stop.
You don’t know where and you don’t know when.
But you still got your words and you got your friends.
Walk along to another day.
Work a little harder, work another way.
Well uh-uh baby I ain’t got no plan.
We’ll float on maybe would you understand?
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
Well float on maybe would you understand?
The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.
It might not be a lot but I feel like I’m making the most.
The days get longer and the nights smell green.
I guess it’s not surprising but it’s spring and I should leave.
I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Walked on off to another spot.
I still haven’t gotten anywhere that I want.
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like I’m caught in an undertow?
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Outside, water like air was great.
I didn’t know what I had that day.
Walk a little farther to another plan.
You said that you did, but you didn’t understand.
I know that starting over is not what life’s about.
But my thoughts were so loud I couldn’t hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud I couldn’t hear my mouth.
My thoughts were so loud.

is it just me?
Yeah. I switched it up a bit. It was time for a change of scenery. It’s kind of a punk rock meets buddhism look. That “thing” in the logo is a mandala, so is the hand gesture in the bottom graphic (on the main page).
As for the missing navigation, those items are now gone. The about section was silly and never updated. The exit page was a good idea but never updated. The gui (graphical user interface — pronounced gooey) items were kind of cool, but old and never updated for the new operating systems. If one is clever one can find the other “missing” items, but I’m not providing a link to them for now. Maybe later.
I wanted to clean house, remove some of the old cobwebs. It felt good, like taking a bunch of clothes and miscellaneous stuff to the thrift store. I almost got rid of the spam collectors comments but couldn’t bring myself to do it. Sometimes I do have some nice people saying meaningful (i.e. complimentary) things. I appreciate them and feel that’s the edge over writing in my notebooks. It’s what makes the internet great and a weblog worthwhile.
You might also have noticed that I’m typing properly. It reads much easier and isn’t really that much harder. (If you get email from me, don’t expect it to look all pretty.) My pinky finger doesn’t like to reach for the shift key, so generally it doesn’t. However, this is about as close to being published as I’ll ever hope and it should look nice. When I go back through the archives I notice that I prefer the posts where sentences and proper nouns are capitalized. Some typography person could probably tell me why, but it seems to be something ingrained in my psyche.
