john-gibson@augustana.edu"Indeed it is well said, 'in every object there is inexhaustible meaning; the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing.'" -Carlyle
This 'blog is my long blank sheet of internet paper. I occasionally fill it up with terrible poetry and awkward minutia in a futile effort to leave a lasting mark on something. It manages to be pretentious and preposterous at the exact same time, a careful balance that must be cautiously maintained by shiny robotics clicking and clacking away at all hours of the day. How their red eyes shine! It updates with an incredible regularity, adhering rigorously to a pattern which remains elusive to the world's greatest mathematicians. Like all objects of this nature, it is sad and bittered at the world; but in its own elitist way it looks for a touch of compassion and friendship, half-heartedly striving for some kind of acceptance in this faceless digital void.
I hope you like it!
