High Flight by John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung

High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,

I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft through footless halls of air….

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue

I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace

Where never lark nor even eagle flew—

And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

FYE: For YouTube Entertainment

I am not a big youtube person, but some of the stuff is simply awesome. So how about we kill some time and kill some brain cells in one pass.

This is my kind of humor, if you aren’t from the hood, you won’t understand, for all the players with their own digs, stock yo kitchen!

Signs, a heart-warming short film, say it now, “AWWWWWW”

A bird by any other name

I have no idea what kind of bird this is.  More importantly, how long before these eggs hatch?  How long before those baby birds grow and leave?  WHEN DO I GET MY BALCONY BACK?!

Anyway, here’s a cool time-lapse of Mama bird in action. She actually leaves the nest for a bit!

New Apartment Mascot

Working night shift and taking classes on the side has effectively made me a vampire… not getting out during daylight hours much.  So, to my surprise, taking a step on the balcony, I notice this:

bird-mascot1

WTH.  Man, have I been out of it this long?  The washer and dryer is in the room adjacent to the balcony so I fear once those eggs hatch I may be doing my laundry elsewhere.  Don’t want Mama bird attacking me.  Maybe if I had one of these I could blend in:

AWESOME.  I will be posting periodic pictures of how this progresses -if I can manage to stay awake and remember
