eliot excercise number 4 billion.

I
let us go then, shall we now,
(in the time that shadow does allow)
across the grass and broken streets
and lots paved with lost receipts.

let us trudge to the wandering hills
with blindfold eyes and opiate pills;
to trees that whisper uncertain words
that bend and break our will into thirds.

one third for you,
and one third for me;
and one for the shadow that has let us be.

(in the room the voices come and go,
whispering of michelangelo)

II
there will be time,
indeed, there will be time;
time to hope, and time to forget;
and time to reside inside our regret.

(there is sickness here yet)

after the wind we twist and turn
and begin again without concern.

(i am lost without you)

every word is a blind tumble into the night

(this is how the world ends; not with darkness, but with light)

Google Image Search: Round Two

i must admit, i was completely unprepared for the brutal assault on my senses that the first round of google image searching unleashed. nude santa was an addition to my life that i never thought i'd deserve. (as a side note i have since seen nude santa on another site. i must find him and persuade him to purchase some pants, or at the very least a comfortable moo moo.)

i am confounded by the indexing in google image search. results are returned that, by all earthly logic, have nothing to do with the simple 2 or 3 words searched for. for example the following image is returned with a search for 'google image search'

this man appears to be searching for something rather intensely, but i have my reservations as to whether it involves google. he does, though, resemble a seriously constipated gov. schwarzenegger.

next search: 'john clevenger' (me)

here i am extolling the virtues of soy based lubricant.

here, on the left, i am receiving a prestigious award from the mark measures society for the torture of small woodland mammals. i follow in the footsteps of previous winners such as carrot top and archduke francis ferdinand.

and now it's time for google image's Most Eligible Bachelors of the Week (sponsored by Halliburton)    

look out ladies. this is ervin 'superfreak' petticoat. ervin is employed as a crossing guard at james polk elementary school in east st. louis. he spends his nights eating curry flavored popcorn and ritualistically shaving his irish wolfhound, hermes. he is a scorpio.

and next we have jasper longfoot. jasper is a devoted father of four who enjoys sitting down while urinating and making the left side of his face collapse on command. he graduated summa cum laude from brown with a degree in international economics. jasper worked for the international monetary fund for a decade where he was undersecretary of fucking over poor people. he has since abandoned the stresses of the international market to pursue his boyhood dream of being unemployed

lastly we have jim hodgkins. jim was actually the runner up for the award i won from the mark measures society for the torture of small woodland mammals. jim was born and raised in a small village in the lowlands of indo-china. he immigrated to pigeon forge, tennessee in the late seventies where he landed a job as head of public relations for dolly parton's theme park 'dollywood'. jim and his friends, including dolly, get together once a week and take turns guessing the expiration dates of cottage cheese based solely on smell.  

if you're interested in any of these fine bachelors please send an email to iamdeseperatepleasedatemeiwilldoanythingyouwantincludinggettingavascetomy@yahoo.com . don't hesitate, these studs won't last long. (we don't take american express)

if anyone has any suggestions for google image searches i would love to hear them. they need to be 1. fairly short 2. fairly common words and 3. lacking sexual reference (google apparently is very apt to litter my screen with porn)

also for anyone interested i have started a live journal account. you all should think about it too, they offer much more than xanga

Fun With Google Image Search

first search is for 'furious george'

here is the original furious george, mr. burns' knife fighting monkey.

he even has a logo.

where's my fucking logo?

and here are two weird looking people

i have decided that the man is furious george's father, cautious ronald. word on the street is that he emigrated from hungary sometime during the thirties. sitting next to ron is george's mother, esmeralda. she was one of the first hungarian chimp-human hybrids to pioneer the flapper look.

the next images are the first three returned with a search for 'fucking idiot'

uno:

y dos:

y tres:

my personal favorites from the 'fucking idiot' search:

there is definitely a story that needs to be told about the love rectangle (possibly a trapezoid) involving takayama, santa, boy george, and the train conductor, but it is too late for that tonight.

"close your eyes,
let me touch you now.
let me give you something that is real.
close the door,
leave your fears behind.
let me give you what you're giving me.
you are the only thing
that makes me want to love at all;
and when i am with you
there's no reason to pretend
and when i am with you
i feel flames again.
just put me inside you
i would never ever leave.
just put me inside you
i would never ever leave you."
