Thought of This Once - Never Did It

This guy's collected a ton of inspired stories from folks simply going about their lives on the NYC Subway system. Check out his blog and entries. They're pretty interesting!

EVERY time I ride the subway, I watch people as they're sitting there not paying attention to the world around them. In fact, I watch people everywhere I go and could make similar entries. I've even come up with story plots - some pretty elaborate during dinner when Matt and I were too tired to talk, but enjoyed each other's company and the food. Distinctly, I remember this dive across the street we'd go to that's no longer there for their AWESOME seafood.

Maybe I'll pick that up again and THIS time, actually write the blurbs I'm thinking about the people I see.

Robbie Williams - Bodies Lyrics

Just found Robbie Williams' song Bodies. Never heard it before. This guy has really interesting lyrics - every time. Compelling. I found this song to be different from many other songs I've heard from him. I found this through looking up Cahill Club Mixes on Bearshare (bought a legal copy). I REALLY like the remix, which I heard first, but this is the original.

God gave me the sunshine,
Then showed me my lifeline
I was told it was all mine,
Then I got laid on a ley line
What a day, what a day,
And your Jesus really died for me
Then Jesus really tried for me

UK and entropy,
I feel like its ****in’ me
Wanna feed off the energy,
Love living like a deity
What a day, one day,
And your Jesus really died for me
I guess Jesus really tried for me

Bodies in the Bodhi tree,
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family,
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
And that’s the way it’s gonna be

All we’ve ever wanted
Is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it
God save me rejection
From my reflection,
I want perfection

Praying for the rapture,
‘Cause it’s stranger getting stranger
And everything’s contagious
It’s the modern middle ages
All day every day
And if Jesus really died for me
Then Jesus really tried for me

Bodies in the Bodhi tree,
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family,
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
And that’s the way it’s gonna be

All we’ve ever wanted
Is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it
God save me rejection
From my reflection,
I want perfection

Bodies in the Bodhi tree,
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family,
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
Bodies in the bodhi tree,
Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family,
Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
And that’s the way it’s gonna be

All we’ve ever wanted
Is to look good naked
Hope that someone can take it
So God save me rejection
From my reflection,
I want perfection

Jesus didn’t die for you, what do you want?
(I want perfection)
Jesus didn’t die for you, what are you on?
Oh Lord
(Jesus really died for you) Ohh
(Jesus really died for you)
(Jesus really died for you) Ohh

Wordle - Word Clouds

A new connection (thanks dan4behr and dailyafirmation for the inspiration!) posted something the other day, which I found interesting: a Word Cloud from a colleague's document. I googled "Word Cloud Generator" and found Wordle! I looked through the documentation to find out where the text is stored before I copied in 1300+ pages of my blog here. The text is kept on your machine (it uses a Java applet) as you play with the settings, layouts, word counts, fonts, colors, etc.! Only if you save your word cloud to the gallery will the text be stored. So, if you wanna play around with this from texts that you've created (someone's already copied and pasted the US Constitution...), you're fine with even confidential or private information.

Here are my top three word clouds:
