What Do You Have To Say? - Public Transit Nightmare

What has been your worst experience on public transit?

When i worked in Boston my office was a block away from the finish line of the boston marathon. Imagine several thousand people trying to get down the stair to the subway. I ended up walking five blocks to a diffrent subway station and it still took me over an hour to make it onto a train. This is a picture i took from my office window.

Writer's Block: Google Me

Have you ever Googled your own name? How do you feel about the results?

I didn't find anything about me personally, but considering how careful i am about leaving personal info lying around the web, it's not supprising. I was a bit supprised to find out how many people have my name, a diffrent spelling of my name, and rearranmged versions of my name.

endings

There is no such thing as a happy ending. I never met a single one to equal "Once upon a time."
Endings are heartless.
Ending is just another word for good bye.

first post

The Tiger

TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

William Blake
