ROCKET RIDE (the old pilot) if i could i would take a rocket ship and fly to mars or some other destination in the sky i just know that i'm meant to go though it seems sometimes i've been before but my mind is foggy about those days when i was a child and could dream in space mom and dad don't seem to remember at all about the trip i took when i was small i want to get back and see again the sights i must have seen back then in whispered tones the men in suits did say you can never reveal that he's been in space so no one knows except for me about the rocket ship with the silver seats and the lady who told me not to cry we're just going on a rocket ride though i am older no longer a child yesterdays history still has to hide but inside my heart will always stay the dream of once again flying away d. b. michel 2004 PROUD TO BE TFFE!

Henry Constable [My lady's presence makes the roses red] My lady's presence makes the roses red, Because to see her lips they blush for shame. The lily's leaves, for envy, pale became, And her white hands in them this envy bred. The marigold the leaves abroad doth spread, Because the sun's and her power is the same. The violet of purple colour came. Dyed in the blood she made my heart to shed. In brief: all flowers from her their virtue take; From her sweet breath their sweet smells do proceed; The living heat which her eyebeams doth make Warmeth the ground and quickeneth the seed. The rain, wherewith she watereth the flowers, Falls from mine eyes, which she dissolves in showers.

I posted this at Classic about 20 months ago: I have a little SETI farm, I check it every day. Looking for gaussians, pulses and spikes, Searching for Vulcans, ET and the likes, My wife thinks that it’s just play. Back in the May of ‘99 My one computer did just fine. I used the screensaver, they call it a GUI, The critics said this was all just fluff and hooey, Wasting our CPU time. Using CLI since ‘02, Do I get fast results? Yes (whew)! I still don’t belong to a big crunching team ‘Cause I like saying I finished on my own steam, But maybe in SETI-2. Now I use six PC machines; Blank the monitors so it’s more green. There are three of my own (shh, and three from my work The IT folks there think I’m being a jerk). From viruses, though, I’m clean. Queue daily units (one score and two), Send them off to the Berkeley crew. Hope my submission shows contact from space (Knowing this work isn’t really a race) . . . Anyway, you saw it too. Now I’ve done, oh, 12,000 plus (Please, don’t anyone make a fuss), I’ll download my (color) certificate And someday, somebody might look at it, And that will just make me blush. NEW VERSE: Now I’m at BOINC and I’m plugging along. Sometimes at the Cafe I’ll break into song! My team (Synergy) is fun, I guess, We all complain when the servers are a mess, But we’re mostly glad we belong. ID: 125812 · |

That was good, CR, but I just have a little doggie (no kids) so I can't imagine the clarity children would bring. P.S. I liked Dan's dream-inspired poem also, despite what the Captain thinks. How often I have awaken in the middle of the night with flashes of pure genius, then in the morning wished I had written down the thought, which is gone . . . ID: 126891 · |

Boy I feel Bad, Oh my! Jeeze, Cap'n! You made Dan feel so bad he deleted his post! Now, you go apologize to him right now. (Being an artistic type yourself, you must know how easy it is to be slighted.) ID: 126904 · |

My slight was a blight Oh cripy don't get me going on this stuff...... I really did not mean to insult you at all sometimes my warped sense of humor gets me in trouble. I told mty ex 2nd wife she had more cents than me and holy crap what an argument. It took me several days to get laid again... Back to the prose.....

Confusion Time here is short, for life for death is part of the illusion. We're born, we live our lives with or without meaning, we wake, we dream, does it really mean anything, yes we say, no we say our opinions change every day. Who put us here? why? what for? these are the questions we must ask, we must explore. The only time it doesn't matter is when we hear our children's laughter, then we know why we're here if only for a moment, it's all clear. CR CR, I must say you hit the mark here. You may have just wrote it, however your words say you live it. Very well said my Friend! Respectfully, Rocky www.boincsynergy.com   ID: 126935 · |
