transparent spider web

The spider sits on a translucient web,
the threads that support him,
instictive in design...okay so I started this post with an attempt to draw out some metaphor about a spider on it's web, or at least the web, and something about interconnected nature of blah blah, I started this post yesterday, and when I thought about it today what I really wanted to post about was my friends, if anyone is out there reading this on a even someone consistant basis, you will notice additional links added on the left, that will connect you to other blogs, part of my expanded network of really fascinating people, there is FireAngel, who's company I miss quite a bit, even the occasional disagreements and her hogging my PS2, but these things are pretty typical when you live with someone, and I really have to thank her for offering me a place to stay when I really needed one, which allowed me to recover my year spent in hell, or well one of the most boring backwater nowhere white trash towns in Oregon, and also I have to thank her for putting up company I was keeping at that time. Then Doma, the prismatic puddle, in my lifetime I could not offer up enough apologies for all the horrible things I have said, you been my best friend, and given me the chance to learn to be a better friend in return, and your mantra,you are loved and there is love all around you, which has helped, and for the curse, which well, hey maybe I deserved it, and thanks for laughing at me when I have been ridicolous and not taking me to as seriously as I've sometimes been known to take myself, now get outside and go for a walk or something, read a book. Also, Shar, one of the most hospitable people I know, I her to thank not only for a place to stay, but also for many hours of conversation on topics from the mundane to the esoteric, and for much good council. She to like many of the individuals that have woven themselves into the thread of my life, particularly those of us that are in our mid to late 20s, is also on this path of change, with the end of a relationship, and a new life ahead. Demongund, hasn't been blogging longer then I have I believe, and I've had a link up to his site for quite some time. My friendship with John has been one of mutual respect, and mutual interest, we both where DMs, storytellers for our groups of roleplayers, so much has changes since those days of sitting around rolling dice and describing monsters and god, demons, and arguing over the rules of the game, yeah there what more then a bit of that. John my respect for John goes beyond his ability to lead players through a tale, many of which he conjured up from the depth of his dreams and nightmares, which has always impressed me, but also because he really is a fair and decent guy, who despite his demeanor of utilitarian self interest, really does care about deeply for the people in his life. So that's a bit about some of those people on the threads of this web, to which I have links on this page. There are so many other lifes that have intersected with mine, friends, coworkers, relatives, and so many have added in so many ways to my life, either by just tollerating me, I look back and realized that I was pretty self absorbed at times in my life, so to those in that web, where part of the inner circle or outer ring, thank you.

again that mysterious voice the one that speaks from the shadows that supports and suppresses all that I would ever have to say to be is there echos and give breathe to something that is more or less all that there was ever to be say hello and goodbye a single breathe, and I recognize and forget that which was and is not... with love eternal, see you when I do
