ANNNNND there's the biggest dick I've ever been friends with. Post here, cocksucker. Welcome to, RI again. See you on the flipside since everything you ever do is conditional. But I do agree that Jeff should check Medium out with whatever he has cooking in his noggin.
Wut up Tim!

justdrew, every once in a while you have an ability, with the much dry wit, to solidify, cook, and distill the spirit into a palpable entity that speaks the essence of the manifestation. you owe me a laptop because for some reason that picture made me spurt a little coffee on my keyboard. shame on you. thats some funny shit.

Welcome back, Jeff!
I don't post here a whole lot, but I still browse regularly for insights and intellectual stimulation. When the Hurricane Katrina 10th anniversary show was playing a few days ago, I remembered that as the fortuitous time that I discovered your blog and then the great RI community. Thanks everyone for the memories! This is one of the best places on teh internetz.

awww, but don't thank me, thank Akira Kurosawa.
(it's from hidden fortress) but that's the prototype for the party on endor at the end of RotJ)

yeah, whatever - get back to distilling palpables.........
(and I find in remarkable coincidence... this quote: Jeffrey High has found influences of Schiller's plays on the screenplays for several Hollywood films, and in particular suggests a close correspondence between Don Carlos and the screenplay for Star Wars (1977).)
distillation complete?

Well, that was weird, Jeff jumps in to say he's back, but nary a peep, from the ol' boy in near two weeks. Pip, pip governor.... Dang, that sounded harsh, certainly wasn't meant to be... hope he's working on a chiller!

not a peep ...
sometimes its difficult to know where to begin, and there is a lot to say
have you managed to gain sometime in your life Jeff that you seemed to have lost previously?
with regard to RI, i think that perhaps it was more a halcyon moment on the net, rather than a halcyon moment on RI specifically,
the thrill of communicating with people everywhere - conversations with a disembodied community of adventurers, asking, investigating, wide-eyed
the smackdown that followed was debilitating
i have recently gained some sense of personal empowerment by becoming a high school teacher, subversion at an educational and institutional level, yes

Dead in the water It's not a paid vacation The sons and daughters of city officials Attend demonstrations It's hardly a sink or swim When all is well if the ticket sells
Out with a whimper It's not a blaze of glory You look down from your temple As people endeavor to make it a story And chisel a marble word But all is lost if it's never heard
But I've got someone to make reports That tell me how my money's spent To book my stays and draw my blinds So I can't tell what's really there And all I need's a great big congratulations
I'll keep your dreams You pay attention for me As strange as it seems I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me The ground may be moving fast But I tied my boots to a broken mast
The difference is clear You throw it in your cauldron Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn Steinways and Baldwins You start with a simple stock of all the waste And salt to taste
But damn my luck and damn these friends That keep on combing back their smiles I save my grace with half-assed guilt And lay down the quilt upon the lawn Spread my arms and soak up congratulations

Kudos to you, it takes a special kind of temperament to survive the teaching experience. I was (very briefly) a middle school teacher in the inner city and the kids actually sent me home crying!

Yeah, halcyon days of the internet exemplified by the hay-day of RI ... I'll drink to that; my morning coffee on the second fall-like morning down here in Austin, Tejas ... raising a glass or mug or wutevs to an inspirational communicator.
