The Beast Silently stalking the darkness I tread, Roaming the still of the night Searching and hungering, Seeking my bread The red of the blood and the white Of the flesh of young lovers, Devoted and chaste, Betrayed by the fates that they trust Slavering, thirsting, and longing to taste Made mad by a ravening lust. Quietly ...
(written in 1992) looking out the window i see the mist lying on the grass across the road cool whiteness against the purple of dusk I step into the gathering dark dash into the mist let it surround me let myself be seen through it I want to be one with the mist to lay over the fields at night softening the lights hiding the...
In the past ten years, phone technology has evolved on several fronts - but many of the major advances have not involved telephones as we know them. Traditional landline corded and cordless phones have seen relatively few improvements, and those have typically "trickled down" from features that were already available in mode...
I recently traveled through Singapore on my way to a week in Indonesia. This wasn't unusual - Singapore is one of the major hubs for air travel in Southeast Asia, along with Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. I had a few different flight options, and opted for one with a stop in Singapore so that I could have dinner and sightsee with...
Another one from my late teens or early twenties... Smile they always tell me, Smile you'll feel better. Smile even if you don't want to. Smile for our sake Smile for your own sake. Smile she says, as she mocks me. Smile as she twists her face into a caricatured grin Smile but when it all comes back around, when i get mine a...
Located on the east side of the "Big Island" of Hawaii, Hilo is the state of Hawaii's second largest city, but with a population in 2000 of just over 40,000, it's only one-tenth the size of top-ranked Honolulu. This means a much lower density of people, buildings and traffic, a slower pace, and more fresh air and nature. Giv...
Merely using the phrases "mobile phone provider" and "best customer service" in the same sentence is cause for derisive laughter. I first got a mobile phone (paid for by the company I was working for at the time) from a little company called Honolulu Cellular. As its name implies, it offered service in the city of Honolulu, ...
Some years ago, I lived across the street from a butcher shop in the small city of Burlington, New Jersey. Every year, the shop would get free range, organic turkeys in for Thanksgiving. Orders had to be placed weeks in advance, but once I mentioned it to my mother, she made a point of getting one each year. A free range, or...
My five-year-old learned to ride a two-wheeler in a total of 2 hours using the simple 3-lesson method I describe below. I was impressed by this, since although I'm a somewhat serious cyclist and former racer, I didn't learn to ride until I was about seven! She had already been riding tricycles since age 2, and riding a small...
Objects float in comparison, has a helium has a piece of volume, than that of light oil will be greater than one gram per unit of metal and other non-floating materials. University engineering departments even factoring in the balloon itself, float upward in the density of the density of wood to 0.2 gram per unit of a leak a...
