It Wasn't Me...
Dang!
I got company comin' by the blog site today...I'd better clean this place up.
Hmmm....
I know: How about a little flower arrangement to spruce things up?
Then I'll show 'em my poetry...

U2 Wants My Money...
…and they’ll get it too. It’s just a question of how much.
I mean, it’s one thing to lay out $9.99 for a new CD—in this case U2’s “No Line in the Horizon." But for only $22.99 (an extra $13.00) I could get the CD, plus a limited edition 36-page color booklet, fold-out poster, and a download of new film by Anton Corbijn featuring the music of U2.
Hmm…
But wait—don’t answer yet!
For $36.99, you get the CD in a special 60-page soft cover magazine-style book, plus the film download.
Or for a mere $64.99, folks, you get a deluxe limited-edition-collectors box set, with the CD in a cardboard folded sleeve, 36-page color booklet, fold out poster, plus a 60-page hard cover book, AND an additional fold-out poster, AND DVD of the new film from Anton Corbijn…

Or, for you audiophiles and vinyl fetishists, $19.99 buys you two LP discs in a folding sleeve with 16-page oversized booklet!
Umm….
The $9.99 CD it is!
Is it any wonder that Larry Mullen always looks vaguely disgusted with Bono?

Weeds
Spent a few minutes weeding the flower bed out front yesterday and it got my mind to thinking. A blog is like your yard; don’t pay attention to it, and after a while it dies.
Lately this site has been looking like a lawn with a bank foreclosure sign sprouting from it. All brown and weeds…
The other day, a fellow blogger knocked on my door. “Hey Cieslak, could you post something new here for chrissake! You’re driving down the values of other websites around the cyber-hood.”
That, or squatters could break in and start posting on their own…
Fine.
I’ll open up the garage, roll out my rickety old gas-powered word processor, spark up the thesaurus, and drag out the rusty editing tools. Cut back some of this undergrowth. Water the imagination. See if I can get a few metaphors to take root and bloom.
Problem is, the next day, my back will be killing me.
