Red House Painters
I commend to you Red House Painters, one song in particular "Have You Forgotten" is enough to rip your guts out. Though I have no business being sad. There's something to milking that melancholy introspection. Funny, I used to love doing that. Just don't have time for it anymore. So those of you out there who do, enjoy it. Ecclesiastes was either written by a 21 year old liberal arts college student or a retired English professor in the twilight of his life. My bets on the latter.
Finally got my "new" laptop I purchased from my amigo. Just got it online. April's on it now doing bills or something like that.
It doens't quite fit my personality to be into a correspondence definition of truth. Maybe I'm just lazy and wont put the necessary effort into forming clear and precise propositions. Anyways, I like the idea of words as references or signposts to meaning. Like the Bible being all about Christ, not merely propositions, but something existential/Holy Spirit "magical." That makes sense to me.
It's amusing to me though how we use hyperlinks as the more obvious "referers." Like, I say Scott which refers to this genius econ grad student down at UGA. But bloggin' folks feel the need to do more refering that the word "Scott" does in and of itself. We've gotta "link" it to something "Scott-ish" on the web. As if the fusion of both the "natural" refering and the "new" digital referring adds more meaning to our use of the word "Scott."
Heck, I suppose it'll eventually be the common-law spouse of footnotes. We'll see.

When I was living in Tiftonia, Jarrod Taylor used to suggest to me rather exuberantly (for him) that we sit on the porch, drink beer, listen to the Red House Painters, and discuss our lives. It was very cold outside when he went on this kick, and he gave me a sweater. A turtleneck. It now reminds me of the Red House Painters.
I have not forgotten how to love myself.
But I cannot believe I'm still at this stupid office.
On the other hand, I'm drinking Corona in the office, which is a consolation.
Thanks for listening.

I love the Red House Painters. Love love. "Drop" is a great song, too.
