The Bed Song

In her intense and personal TED talk called 'The Art of Asking' Amanda Palmer explains what it means to see someone - really see them. Formerly 'the 8-foot bride' working toward success as a musician, after receiving more than $1 million from a Kickstarter crowd-source funding campaign - because she asked - it seems she's earned herself a bigger milk crate (you'll have to watch the TED talk to understand.)

I was married for 30 years and looking back I don't know if anyone really saw me, or if I ever asked them to.

Really it was 27 years, with the last three spent trying to untangle a web of co-founded businesses and co-created debt before filing for a self-proclaimed divorce. ... But, as usual, I digress. ...

After watching her TED talk, I found this - her February 2013 video 'The Bed Song' on the Amanda Fucking Palmer website. With this song she poetically sums up what 30 years of marriage can look like:



The good news is, unlike the couple in her video, I'm not dead and have found someone who has amazing amber eyes sparked with tiny flecks of gold, and together we see everything.

test post

I have no idea what this will look like, but that's why we do tests.
I was going to label it 'first test post' but that implies there will be another, or there were more, which there aren't and hope there are not. So I renamed it test post. Ha.
I seem to be using Pacific Daylight Time. I'm not sure why, or how to change it, but it isn't really all that important because time is time. Although if it were important - like you need to know what time something happens in relation to something else - then you would need to be more specific. Since it's not likely there will be any synchronization of anything going on based on my blog entries, I'm going to leave it as it.

At least for now.
