Blog 188.1 > Stumble Like Thunder
February 12th, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Sometimes it’s enough just to wonder
And blunder
And fumbleWithout guilt
Without regretTo stumble
Beneath the stars
Like the glorious rumble of thunder
The above text was my impromptu reply to this introspective post by famed photographer Zhang Jingna. Her text is included below. The accompanying images are based on this self-portrait by Digital_Sushi.
Sometimes I want to rant, and wonder if it’d be alright to do so.
Sometimes there is so much I wanna say, yet so much of which I can’t.
Sometimes I like lazing around, and just watch the daylight fade into dark.
Sometimes I feel so tired, I want to know how I managed this far.
Sometimes, the night makes me remember,
the loneliness so beautiful it inspires;
all that which once were
so brief
so fleeting,
all that which still cloud my
memories like mists of morn.

I like your response to Zhangs post a tad more…
I prefer this kind of poem(?) with a relatively small amount of words over one that has several parts.It leaves so much more room for interpretation and thoughts

@FlyingBlow: Hey thanx! Unfortunately, the danger with such shorter poems or prose is that there may not be enough text to contain enough meaning, intended or not… Which explains why I included Jingna’s initial post. So readers won’t be too lost or too far off from my mind’s path, lol.
P.S. Maybe I’ll return with catchier more-sing-songy attempts next time. ^_^

I have to use Internet Explorer at work, so that explains why I can’t check out your blog from there.
Also I love that girls shoes.
PS – I’m having issues getting my banner to that size I need to ask a friend for help. I’m pretty hopeless at editing images on the computer.

@Luckie-chan: Ahh, sorry about the IE situation. Sux. But IE should work with my shorter posts, right? Or is it any page? Heyyy, someone finally noticed her sparkly shoes! But if you’re fine with me doing it, I can resize your banner myself, based on your blog’s header? Acceptable? ^_^

Very acceptable! Also…I think I found a Clayz gorgeous Saber for $60 from a reliable looking seller. :) I’ll keep you posted. She isn’t one of my grails because getting her just seemed beyond my means based on what eBay was doing with her.

@Luckie-chan: Sorry about the delay! Just finished my new mega-post, lol… Hey, glad it’s acceptable! It took me such a long 10-seconds to engineer it! LOL, kidding.
Which Clayz Saber? Mine? Wow, a reliable $60 is pretty nice! Hmm, what eBay was doing with her? What do u mean?

ebay was charging too much :) Last time I checked there was just one on eBay and it was at $300
