Poets seek silence
grasping sounds of truth
spinning in the head of reality's flipside
constantly plucking
consciousness's fickle
strings, time ticking
on a metronome
swaying between lost
words and fallen
worlds

I spent a lot of time on BBSes and The Sierra Network before home Internet was a thing. After that, I really connected with people on IRC.
The wild thing is that I’m still connected to many of those IRC friends, some right here on Twitter!
Which app did you start your Social Media life on?
1.) Facebook
2.) Kik
3.) Snapchat
4.) Instagram
5.) Telegram
6.) Twitter
7.) MySpace
8.) None of the above

Made it to @Nov_Project_ATX yesterday morning! Ran, worked out, and caught up with pal Holly who I haven’t seen since she moved from SF, and Madison friends Jen and Nicole (who herself also moved to Austin).
Ran back to downtown and the river afterwards… tantek.com/2020/053/t8/

Made it to @Nov_Project_ATX yesterday morning! Ran, worked out, and caught up with pal Holly who I haven’t seen since she moved from SF, and Madison friends Jen and Nicole (who herself also moved to Austin).
Ran back to downtown and the river afterwards, for a calm reflection(2), and sunrise over nearby buildings(3).
