I found this incredibly funny and I don't know why.

Someone please tell me how I got hooked watching the following:
1. Real World Cancun
2. The T.O. Show
3. Daisy of Love (Technically over, but I watched it)
4. My Antonio
What the hell is wrong with me?

So sweet

Mermaid's Wish


The Mermaid’s Wish
Awaken now, or soon be awoke
A chariot’s appeared
Seahorse drawn and mermaid driven
The fish popped up and peered
From the sandy sea-shelves
They watch her graceful dance,
The princess of the lake
Eager for amber sunbeams
Glassy surf won’t penetrate
To shine on coral kingdoms
Within the pearly deep
Her one wish
On brittle star
This fairy of the lagoon
To dance among both stars and shells
And sing to the man in the moon…

The Birth of the Water Baby
Little egg,
little nub,
full complement of
fingers, toes,
little rose blooming
in a red universe,
which once wanted you less
than emptiness,
but now holds you
fast,
containing your rapid heart
beat under its
slower one
as the earth
contains the sea . . .

O avocado pit
almost ready to sprout,
tiny fruit tree
within sight
of the sea,
little swimming fish,
little land lover,
hold on!
hold on!

Here, under my heart
you'll keep
till it's time
for us to meet,
& we come apart
that we may come
together,
& you are born
remembering
the wavesound
of my blood,
the thunder of my heart,
& like your mother
always dreaming
of the sea.

Eventually, she will reside in ink on my back.

Good Bye Les Paul



Les Paul, who only pioneered the solid-body electric guitar, multitrack recording and was a devilishly stylish player, died this morning of complications from pneumonia. He was 94.
