Lonely Soldier

May your river
Never dry
May your mouth
Never lie
May you be satisfied
To never know why
Sometimes
Someone just wants
To die
Lonely soldier
Go home

How Social Will Answer the Problems of Search

What search results would you anticipate to see if you searched for ‘eli’ on Google?

Believe it or not, this is actually a very big problem for search engines to try and figure out. The problem is that one word searches do not generally target a unique…

Social Currency & other Web musings

Social Currency

As a people, Social Media has permanently changed our behavior patterns. Used effectively, a social site forces us to publically identify who we are, which creates a positive consequence – we take ourselves much more seriously. In a social…

Into the void

Sometimes I wonder about my life.

I lead a small life – well, valuable but small. And sometimes I wonder do I do it because I like it, or because I haven’t been brave?

So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book when shouldn’t it be…

My friend
Over time
You’re going to find
That you are
As beautiful
As you feel
You’ve got to
Get up
Every morning
With a smile on your face
And show the world
All the love
In your heart

All over the world
Hearts pound with the rhythm
Fear not of men
Because men must die

Mind over matter
And soul before flesh
Angels hold the pen
Keeping record and time

Which is passing
And running
Like a caravan trader
The world is overrun

Facebook and Mobile First

Mark Zuckerberg might have made a mistake for doubling down on the mobile Web browser over mobile apps – a mistake Facebook has now fixed with one of the most feature rich social apps out right now. And although I may be biased toward the mobile Web…

The way we see things
Is the source of
The way we think
And the way we act

And interestingly
If you look at it deeply
The way we see things
Is often a product of
The things we seek
Or our deeper motivations

Come together
The create a reaction
That can’t be reversed
They transcend chemistry

Glad to see a bad man die?
What does that make you?
Human
Morality is perception
Not something set in stone
Or written in a book
It is relative to
Who you are
Where you are
When you are
How you are
Like a snow flake
Or a star
Far, far away
Some day

It took me forever
To wrap my brain around
The idea
That you’re not
Who I thought you were
But that’s okay
Because the more
I get to know who you really are
The better you get
And all the better
We are

Never Stop Dreaming

Some days I’m a dreamer
Ever since I was a kid
I’d stand in front of the mirror
And try to imagine myself
As an adult
In school I was known
To stare out of the
Classroom window
Trying to imagine
What I’d do for a living
Little did I know
At the time
A guy…

The invention of time
In and of itself
Is responsible
For setting things into
Perpetual motion
For the dawn of humanity
And what is known as
Civilization
And depending on who you ask
Morality
A record began
Keeping track
And archiving a frame
Of comparison

What is a broken heart
What keeps it ticking
Ticking like a time bomb
An innocence lost

To let go

Forgive

That would truly like to think

And in every bad one

But that’s not truly me
