the poem on the whiteboard in my kitchen

the poem on the whiteboard in my kitchen is dry erase. it reads

"
The Tao is like an empty bowl.
Which in being used can never be
filled up.
Fathomless, it seems to be the origin
of all things.
It blunts all sharp edges,
It unties all tangles,
It harmonizes all lights,
It unitess the world into one whole.
Hidden in the deeps,
Yet it seems to exist for ever.
I do not know whose child it is;
It seems to be the common ancestor of all,
The father of all things.
"

i've never seen snow before

i've never seen snow before. i'm from florida. i'm from Houston. wait, so it's like, slippery? oh. and it looks white for a bit but then it gets all gray and brown from all the sand and stuff on the road? oh, well that's gonna be real nasty. wait, and like it's gonna get all over my shoes? oh.

the snow falls sideways and falls on cars. the snow falls on the sidewalk and unfortunately makes people fall. when it snows people fall on the snow but the snow does not give. the snow is not soft rubber. the snow obscures and is only a layering, a sheen, a surface. gravel and pavement reside below.

in the woods the snow falls on grass and leaves. the leaves stay all winter long, hidden in the dark. in the woods the animals feel the wet snow on their uncovered paws.

paw tracks.

they are all separate tracks

they are all separate tracks. blog posts are like facebook albums, you never know what you're gonna get. a box of chocolates is like a box of people, you never know what you're gonna get.

i just saw a roomba on the floor of my friends neighbors house. funniest thing you've ever seen, wow.

this is what this means

mark made a blog (observerparticles.blogspot.com). he said

"The aptly named davesplat.blogspot (try saying it fast, not easy) is responsible for getting me on here. Apparently dave types as he thinks, whatever it happens to be, and posts it without any filtration. brain spam, skipping thoughts, dave splat."


hahahah me gusta.

ugh, mountains or lakes, TTC, lists

which are better, mountains or lakes?

lakes or mountains. not mountain lakes. or lake mountains (you know, lake mountains).

im gonna change my approach. do things totally differently. yeah right.

boston college beat clemson and is in the acc championship game in two weeks (which i have a hankering to go to, who's coming with me). Thank you God! Thank you Allah! Thank you Buddha! respekrespekrespek

im getting a massage monday at inman oasis. stasis. what are the other asis words? peristasis.

jamaica funk, 2007, soul jazz.

i fear potholes. Belmont has bad roads. except for Mitt Romneys driveway

sports and call of duty 4 are the flavor of the day.

trinidad, mac and cheese, barbecue, $2.39 buffalo wings. buffalo sauce is franks red hot sauce. ranch instead of bleu cheese (i dont like writing bleu. bleeeewwwww

dusk is at 4:51 PM, that's postmodern time. the postmodern condition. the conditional.

life is an experiment.

i used to hate doing labs. omg.

Clynton suggested the title. whoa whoa whoa were in recovery mode because i forgot to post yesterday, which was wednesday, now its already thursday, blast!

Sylvia reminded me that its called googlewhacking, and that now its nearly impossible. nevertheless, she was damn good at it back then. also, the other game is called P.A.B., like pee a bee. ask me what it really means, and ill teach you how to play the game, then you can play the game, and teach other people how to play the game

it was warm today, as expected. it was good to be outside.

celtics won, sean williams had 4 blocks. i'm jealous of Jeff because he gets to see dunk highlights on the Nets network.

so i calculated and when i rowed in college we were doing 120 minutes a day of work, 6 days a week at some points, up to 730 minutes in the winter. yikes.

i really recommend moforadio.blogspot.com, or http://spinitron.com/public/index.php?station=wzbc&month=Nov&year=2007&showid=2134

i just turned down my turn in call of duty 4 to finish this post.

Soul Jazz Records is really good. their stuff is great. souljazzrecords.co.uk

Sylvia said...

that other game is PAB, which is like exquisite corpse, and also known as "eat poop you cat". good game, hope to eventually do a real web 2.0 app of it. we tried to do it by mail before but too many people were too lazy to mail things.

also googlewhacking is pretty impossible nowadays, unfortunately.

11:49 PM

this is the dave report

not the colbert rapport. or the spore rapport.

i incorrectly spelled liaison on my resume but my mom corrected me.

today was productive, it involved getting a new comcast modem, calling comcast to get it to work, getting a new router, and calling belkin to get the router to work.

the call to belkin involved india. india came through big today.

our wireless network is named chkn n' wfls. before it was Intl Blrs Inc

celtics won tonight, that means that the sox pats and c's have won a combined 22 games in a row. if the c's beat the nets tmrw night it will be 23 in a row

there have been good shows the past couple nights, but ive been content to listen to these artists in mp3 form. they include battles, antimc, and daedalus.

i have got to get myself over to middlesex lounge soon. real soon.

yesterday my blog got six hits. one of them was from sweden. i installed google analytics. tomorrow ill see what happened today.

holy cow, its sposed to be 60 degrees tmrw. im wearing shorts again! gonna be outside a bunch, itll be good

were gonna be playing a lot of call of duty 4 online now. nba live 2k8 is a lot of fun too.

i got some plants for the apt finally, including a couple cacti.

hmmm im gonna make my todo list look real good tonight.

gahhh i gotta be creative/funny. k here goes

hmmmmmmmmmmmm. i am overflowing with boundless creativity. my humor is only exceeded by my cunning wit.

i watched some of the row like pigs dvd, its on youtube. i need to go to see chris at the factory store so that i can get some new new balances. haha, i also gotta get get rid of my old old spice.

meditating twice a day for 20 minutes is the goal. the ball is in my courtroom, my tennis court, my appeals court, my racquetball court, my cortland apples.

strange days

strange. days. talk about strange days. stranger daily.

it is possible to be simultaneously incapable of doing anything and capable of doing everything.

im feeling my carpal tunnel syndrome coming back in my right forearm, i need to get the smartgloves i have in my car (mental note).

extra large shirts of all types are too small for me. its frustrating.

im kind of reading a cool book called sleeping with extra terrestrials, the rise of irrationalism and perils of piety, by wendy kaminer. im gonna wanna read all her other stuff, gotta check out the minuteman library catalog

my blog wishes it had increased interactivity and on demand video graphics and audio text

ok. battles are playing tonight at paradise. i dont think theyll be sold out, but i think i wanna go even if i cant find anyone to go with.

i had lunch with joe today. i told joe i would be blogging about him. we hadnt seen in each other in forever. progressive revelation

im not ready for all the work it takes to be a graduate student of any kind.

how do you celebrate veterans day?

fonts, like with water

is this a new font? does it look ok? do i need a new template?

its monday. its veterans day. its cold.

battles play at paradise tonight, i kinda wanna go.

yo, my blogfans out there, thanks for the love.

i remember a conference call at my old job where we heard what made a good blog. frequency and quality duh

its late no quiero dormir. jeffs going to spain next year forever. are we gonna be able to talk? are cellphones or skype going to be involved?

im getting lunch with joe today at 1pm at it rains fishes.

ok, not feeling funny, gonna crash.

im glad im not a veteran.

playing boggle in porter square, and what was that other game?

Sylvia likes me blog. this rules. unexpected fame. earlier in my blog i referenced listing google searches. Sylvia (along with Hunter) introduced me to googleblasting a long time ago. googleblasting is finding two words that when entered into the Google search engine produce a single hit. is this still possible?

so i can't come up with any good google searches though. i'll think about it some more.

some friends are home, joe and dave.

i wanted to do blogdrafts in microsoft word, but msword capitalizes everything. nogo

oh yeah, adding blog to any word makes it um azing -- blogstill, bloghit, blogfind, blogalong, blogrule.

chris is here, talk to you soon

i rove rucy

turns out i love lucy is a pretty funny show. not that im gonna like watch all the episodes or something, but isnt it crazy how many good old television and movies there are? wow that was really profound.

so much film.

its sunday, cold outside. i just read some of sports illustrated. too many sports

im sleepy, trying to stay awake. i wanna watch celtics. i cant wait to watch boston college basketball again. this blog is turning into a lame sports blog, lets see if i can turn that around

ok. albumbase went down. they got raided by the fbi or something. happens to the best of them.

ok lets see if my next post can contain zero references to sports.


remembrance day.

acoustical resonance

it's been suggested that the earth is a conductor of acoustical resonance. there's a (like it or not) scene in coffee and cigarettes where the white stripes talk about it and tesla. acoustical resonance

vibrations. it's fun to think about. waves. pulses. ripples. oscillations (eh maybe not that last one).

its time to go to sleep. what a week. lotta stuff going oun. things are good though. having a good time.

right now im listening to crystal castles. you have to download soulseex and download them, this stuff is incredible. i want to listen to music forever.

sounds like albumbase is down. there are still good sites like albumhunt, musire, and shareminer, but at this point i think im gonna bail on all that and focus up on my library, radio lover, wzbc, and soulseex.

ok, my eyelids are fluttering. ululating.

gotta get an hdtv.

bc maryland today. god i hope bc wins.

revs won, celtics won. celtics really shouldnt lose to anyone to be honest. except that every game they have this month looks hard. new jersey nets tonight. should be exciting.

blogger

blogger, blogodome, blogosphore. belichick, bellistrator. haha

its wednesday. 10 17 am. its been cold outside. all of a sudden, cold! like that description for that wmbr show about punk rock.

i am making no sense.

red sox won the world series, pats beat the colts, celtics are 2-0, revolution are in the semis, except stupid bc lost to fsu. talk about piling on the weak sauce

heyday of boston sports, right now!

let's see, what else, so much to talk about. yesterday me and matt got ps3. matt is my new roommate. clynton is also my roommate. they stayed up playing call of duty 4 modern warfare while i went to sleep.

this whole cali trip is tough. unfortunately, i have not gained supernatural powers and am still unable to pause time. i still want to get out there though. is it possible for me to do this before thanksgiving? hard to tell. theres a lot going on.

fall is here. leaves, cold, wind. during the fall you eat things made with apples and pumpkins. in new england you look at colors and fear the winter. you question why the heat is always off or turned down at your friends place. you realize you need a new jacket, as well as hats gloves scarf socks jumpsuits

my bedroom windows look out onto a backyard. i am grateful

i am gracful, i am eternal. amaram hum, madhuram hum. you know what i mean

from the central square outpost, cambridge, 2k7, common era

-Dave

neutrons, il postino

yeahhhh. pbs, wtf. bonfires are sweet, except when they are held in a confined space. smoke creates headaches and smokiness. hmmmmm. let's see. i wish i had gone to that party a week ago, and that i had had a costume. fuggggggg. i gotta get over it.

k. well. what am i gonna do during the day tomorrow? i wanna go shopping and see a movie and see friends and watch football and get new books. i need new books to read. is the cambridge public library near my house open?

i gotta learn all the places near me. so much exploring to do.

boston is so windy. omg is it windy. like you cant get away from it. like youre supposed to sail the streets all the time. like youre a wind turbine on foot.

poetic, analytical, how many different ways are they to say rambling?

our cable works but we still need to get channels. there's a severe weather alert so watch out.

casiotone for the painfully alone was at middle east tonight, i should have gone to see him.

i wanna go out to LA and see andy and faith. god i need to do that

there are so many good problems to have. like, well, at least that's a good problem to have. how do you solve problems that are good to have? can they be made better? do you make things more problematic? reverse psychology? hmm

only 15 posts

Jeff likes it, but this blog is weak. only 15 posts? gimme a break. i've gotta get on it every day now. but what if i still sound like im in elementary school? i gotta get past that. cause i feel just like a child.

are you still a child? do you identify as a child? i identify as a 24 year old kindergartner having a midlife crisis. someone else might identify as an 18 year old senior citizen in their golden years.

this is really stream of consciousness. we got cable at my apt, but now we need to get channels. i hear this is something that can be done online. that would be awesome.

this weekend should be fun. a couple of parties. im pumped to see anais, hell yeah freshman floor. its too bad its been so long since i saw dartmouth people. shouldnt i just write a journal instead of this garbage? i gotta post some links.

how about posting some good google searches, here are some good google searches

damn this is hard....

im gonna have to work on it

wow

wow this is the worst blog ever.

ill post more soon

sox won the world series last night

hey

hey, weekend was good. lotta sports. boston sports is absolutely nutty. at this point you might as well start a separate blog simply devoted to the nuttiness that is the combined impact of the red sox, patriots, bc football team, new england revolution, and boston celtics (post)seasons to be. thats 5 teams playing really well.

the teams that have played the most, the red sox and revolution, have both had incredible seasons. the combination of the right players with the right coaching. a lot of effort put into building squads, a lot work in the offseason, a whole lot of other things.

the bc football team is 7-0, ranked_____________ lets not even talk about the rankings. theyre up there, ok? seasons not over, just means the target on their back grows bigger every second. think about it. last week doesnt matter. every day up until the virginia tech game on the 25th, a lot of people will be thinking about BC, just like they will be about South Florida. deal with it, it's the reality. say what you will about rankings and the bcs, but right now it feels pretty good to have BC where they are

I'm listening to Minesweeper Suite by DJ/Rupture. Pretty good stuff.

Welktruth

My brother Jeff said some funny things about Wes Welker aka Welktruth. Also, Antoine Welker (hahaha). Also -- Welker, Texas Ranger (hahahaha).
