Bagged 'N' Tagged

Today I've been, amongst other things, trying to tag as many past posts as possible with keywords, like poetry, contradiction, pig races, sock monkey.... stuff like that.

At the end of this lengthy and laborious process, I shall make a bar graph depicting the frequency upon which I expound on variant topics, evidencing the intervals at which they sashay and mosey through my neurons.

Or not.

Really I just wanted a reason to post the following song snippet, a 17-word microcosm of a perfect love experience. See below.

Up in the trees,
And the forests will give us the answers..."

Nice words. Tagging is something I started doing, but I don't have the energy to go back and tag all my past posts, I have like 800 of them now. That would take about 12 years for me... ;)

I don't know why, Dave, but I have this odd enjoyment of reducing my thoughts to just a few keywords. :) Sometimes I enjoy tedium.

So, any timeline for the bar graph? I'm curious...

Well, it is a good idea, but I didn't set any deadline. Although I only have about 200 posts (as compared with Dave's 800!!), I'm only about 1/3 done with tagging them. It would be interesting, though!! I am finding that many of the keywords have only one instance, so right now it's looking like "Miscellaneous" might be the most oft-posted-upon topic...

I went through and tagged most of my posts when I switched over to Blogger Beta. Now Technorati only seems to recognize the Blogger tags and not the coded html tags I used to throw on to index with their site specifically. I love technology!

That rocks, Violet!

Oddly, when I went to your myspace page to check it out, there was some weirdness with my computer and I couldn't hear it. Weird! I have faith that the song still exists, though!

Bagged and tagged is better than debagged and radished.

Very Sad News

Hi everyone, Because friends share in good things and bad and this is important to me, I thought you all might like to know. My mom, who had been battling many health problems, especially during the past few years, passed away Friday night. She was not a perfect person, but her love for me was. I figure if you want to know more, you'll ask. But if I don't seem quite myself for awhile, that's why. Thanks.

The Sock Monkey Project

Image
Recently, due to Arctic Blast 2007 (i.e. a quarter-inch of sleet upon these Dallas roadways), a much-anticipated night of drinking, fooling around and Sopranos was nixed. Did I sulk? Well, hell yes, I did. And then I did some more. But after that, pouting began to bore me and I hit upon a mission: I was gonna make a goddamn sock monkey. Why the flip did this occur to me? Well, I'd talked it up for many years, seeing as how my grandmother gave me one when I was six or seven and it was subsequently so cherished and frequently hugged that the tail developed a hole at the end. As it turns out, my friends listen to me on occasion, so I was gifted with this kit at Christmastime this year. Though my original hosiery simian was far more tricked out than this one, with a red gingham dress and hat that had lace trim, this nostalgia-fueled, red felt vested ape would do nicely on a blustery, pissy winter's night . Besides, the original mon-chi-chi was lost. Generally speaking, I'm n

Two Years

Two years I've been writing this. Two years. Most of you and I have known each other for most of that span. Why is it so hard to believe, the constant flow of time? -------------------------------- Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems -- but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible. -- Salman Rushdie
