Will you stay
if I promise you
eggs
and glue
and guns
and birds
and bread?

Will you stay

wings
and things
and yes

Hat In The Wind, themselves

I have no idea what Doseone was thinking when he wrote this, but it might just be genius if you analyze what each of those items might represent in the context of a relationship: eggs as children, glue as sex, guns as protection, birds as entertainment, bread as food, wings as future. Again, I have no idea… but it might just be genius.

My life is pretty cyclic. Oh, that could be a can of worms… let’s rephrase:

My hobbies are pretty cyclic.

I find that I get really obsessed with one thing, go crazy on it for a month or two, then jump to something else. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

It’s a pretty consistent cycle, though, so I can probalby start to anticipate when I’m getting bored and start picking up the next thing… let’s see:

Comic Books > Illustration > Interface Design > Operating Systems > Dynamic Languages > Real Time Communications (Instant Messaging) > Web Design > Movies > Comic Books

Now, I could have started with anything, but comics seemed like as good a place as any. And, speaking of comics, buy Demo. It’s simply amazing. It’s hands-down one of the best new-ish comics I read in a few years. (Oh, and Heroes totally ripped off the Demo story “Emmy” with this comic… jerks.)

Anyone even remotely connected to Flash and the Twin Cities will probably already know about this, but what the hell:

MN.swf is a:

Minneapolis-based group dedicated to the professional development and collaboration of advanced Flash/Flex programmers.

Looks to be a good time. I’d go, but I have both class and Ali-duty that night, so I’m gonna be a no-show. If you are one of the rare souls that reads my blog, and you go, tell me how it is… maybe I’ll make it in 2007.
