The Hazards of Sidewalks
Oct. 27th, 2004 09:28 pmShel Silverstein wrote a poem called at Sidewalks End...I bet the sidewalk he was referring to didn't have uneven tiles, placed ill-fittingly next to one another.
( Hazards of sidewalks.. )
As an aside - was thinking on the way home today about livejournal. How people interact with it? Do people just update their own and treat it as a sort of live journal they write in daily, caring not who reads or doesn't read? Do they treat it as their personal letter writing group - ie. an exchange amongst ten-twenty people of emails while at work? Do they treat it as an information resource on all sorts of topics? A way of connecting with people they'd never know otherwise? A way of meeting new people? Is it like exchanging letters with people who may or may not respond?
Not sure. For me, I guess it's all of the above. Or I've been known to use it in all of the above ways. As a means of connecting, as a way of keeping my writing alive, as an information resource...
Now...it seems to be more of a journal that I update with my spontaneous and myriad thoughts from time to time or when the urge overwhelms me. Since I regrettably don't have time to read others entries in as much depth as I once did. I miss that.
