Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle of Ramblings

A few minutes ago, I awoke from my evening sleep, feeling quite bleary eyed, but currently able to sleep no further. Having not eaten since lunch, the standard expectation would be that I would be hungry by now, but I am not. I feel quite full. Armadillo really doesn't skimp when they pile on those plates of burritos.

Killing in the name of

I'm feeling very antsy right now, and not because of the agitating music penetrating the walls of my ears from 5 directions. My room has, over the course of the past N weeks, once again regressed into a state of absolute disorder.

[/me just thought of another horrible idea for yet a ramblings markup feature that will almost certainly never be implemented, unless Bitscape suddenly gets an extreme surge of ambition unmatched in recent memory. Unlikely, but never to be ruled out.]

Freedom!
Yeah!
FREEDOM
YEAH
FREEDOM
YEAH

I should do all my ramblings in pure xml, and define my own dtd for all of it, and I know it.

Time for something a bit more soothing.

No, I do not care to elaborate any further regarding the meaning of my cryptic tytle, thank you. (No, tytle is not a typo. Well, actually it is, but this time, I have decided not to correct my monkeyfingers' odd s/i/y/ tendencies of the day.)

'xcweeze me. This lyric, inputs both visual and audio, has taken me for a moment.

Shall I exhert the effort to bore and annoy the readers by transcribing? Sure. Why not.

Upon a darkened night
The flame of love was burning in my breast
And by a lantern bright
I fled my house while all in quiet rest

Shrouded by the night
And by the secret star I quickly fled
The veil concealed my eyes
While all within lay quiet as the dead

Oh night thou was my guide

Oh night more loving than the rising sun

Oh night that joined the lover

To the beloved one

Transforming each of them into the other

Upon that misty night
In secrecy, beyond such mortal sight
Without a guide or light
Than that which burned so deeply in my heart

That fire 'twas led me on
And shone more bright than of the midday sun
To where he waited still
It was a place where no one else could come

Oh night thou was my guide

Oh night more loving than the rising sun

Oh night that joined the lover

To the beloved one

Transforming each of them into the other

Within my pounding heart
Which kept itself entirely for him
He fell into his sleep
Beneath the cedars all my love I gave

From o'er the fortress walls
The wind would brush his hair against his brow
And with its smoothest hand
Caressed my every sense it would allow

Oh night thou was my guide

Oh night more loving than the rising sun

Oh night that joined the lover

To the beloved one

Transforming each of them into the other

I lost myself to him
And laid my face upon my lover's breast
And care and grief grew dim
As in the morning's mist became the light

There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair

Oh, what would we do without our pop stars to pass on 15th century religious poems to the common postmodern masses? Spoonfeeding what would otherwise be left in unknown obscurity to all but the diligent 0.01%. Yes, I did say religious poem. From long ago. I wouldn't have guessed it either, had this not been spelled out in the insert. Or maybe calling it a letter to God was just their way of getting it past the censors in those days. (Ironically, in this day and age, such a declaration affirming the fusion of the spiritual and the sexual is almost certainly more likely to invoke the ire of self-appointed moral arbiters. But what the hell do I know about the ways of 15th century censors, anyway?)

Once again, Bitscape talks out of his redundant ass.

This is why frequent ramblings with no point are stupid. I have maybe 1 sentence worth of timely semi-relevant information to convey (if that), but since I've already bothered to open the window and run the 'ramble' script, I feel this irrational urge to try to "entertain" the readers, and so inevitably end up spouting uninformed nonsense that, more often than not, makes me look like a complete idiot.

Oh well. At least tonight, I haven't resorted to putting up links to pr0n sites. Yet.

I shall now take the rational path, and end this here. I might even do a little to straighten things up around here before second bedtime, but don't count on it.
