Here’s episode 1:

Also, you may notice a new link up where the Twitter scroller is that links to an archive of every tweet I’ve ever made. It’s exactly [...]]]> Not that it matters all that much, but I finally fixed the layout when you do a search or view an archived page of this blog. So… there’s something.

Also, you may notice a new link up where the Twitter scroller is that links to an archive of every tweet I’ve ever made. It’s exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for since starting Twitter. I don’t know how often it updates itself, but I think it’s enough that it won’t inconvenience me or anyone else searching through my past tweets… which… will most likely only be me anyway.

I’ve been feeling so much lately. I should be writing. Man, I should really be writing this all down, getting it all out. At least being productive with my pain. Yes, of course it’s pain. What else affects me? Surely not happiness. That’s mostly the reason I am suffering now, in fact. I couldn’t embrace the happiness, let it go, and now am left with soul-crushing pain.

Coincidentally, while testing out my fix to make sure Search results displayed properly, I accidentally stumbled upon a little old poem I wrote one morning, while particularly tired (deliriously tired, you might say), when I was walking to my apartment and there was a particular scent in the air that reminded me of when I was a little boy. I remembered the innocence. I remembered what it felt like to be carefree and happy. And I think that’s what it feels like to be loved, when you allow it to. So this is what I wrote that day. It’s nothing I consider to be good, as far as poetry goes, but it feels apropos to repost it tonight.

This morning my mind is tired, exhausted beyond repair.
I see our world as a child, I can smell the innocent air.

Something I can’t hold on to, for it has all but died,
years ago, though I’m not old, before my grown up ride.

Crash into extinction, let the foreword decay,
suit yourself into your flesh, this is now your way.

One way road to living hell, no way back to life,
when you were white with healthy skin, before this awful trife.

This morning I was tired, though, and smelled that ancient air,
and saw the soil for what it was back when life was fair.

My mind still cares to remember whenever it’s grown weak
by the daily hush-hush of society, and the solice that we seek.

I wish to be tired all year round, to feel your love, my friend,
to come back to reality, to smile for real again.

I notice there’s a strange glitch when browsing through pages and through some of the photo albums, though… I hope I can get rid of them because I definitely want to keep this theme [...]]]> So I just installed this new WordPress theme on my website… and I’m completely loving it! It’s so funny!  To me.

I notice there’s a strange glitch when browsing through pages and through some of the photo albums, though… I hope I can get rid of them because I definitely want to keep this theme around for awhile.  HA haha hee hee!

Yeah I know I just switched to BlogSpot recently, but I was uneasy with the idea of being on someone else’s server. They could have deleted any of my posts for any reason they could [...]]]> OK, only a few would ever notice, but my site’s now been WordPressatized. That’s how I spent my day. Really.

Yeah I know I just switched to BlogSpot recently, but I was uneasy with the idea of being on someone else’s server. They could have deleted any of my posts for any reason they could justify. Plus, now there’s no re-directing going on when you go to cozbaldwin.com.

The only thing that’s really exciting me about this new era is, on the SEE page, the thumbnails now open all pretty-like to show the larger view.

It should all look pretty much identical to what I had before, so if you see any problems on your end, lemme know by leaving a comment below.

I’m a bit peeved though, because the #1 reason I wanted to switch to WordPress was because there was a plugin which can crosspost to Myspace. But WordPress just updated to a new version and it looks like that plugin isn’t working anymore. Hopefully the author will update it and get it working again. In the meantime, if anyone out there has a good plugin for Myspace crossposting which works with WordPress 2.7+ please let me know!

Anyway, there ya go.
The main menu is on the sidebar now. Searching the blog is all done through the navigation bar at the tippy-top of [...]]]> So after all these years I’ve converted from self-publishing to Blogspot…. I didn’t really want to but the page-ranking is SO MUCH HIGHER. I mean, c’mon…. it’s ridiculous.

Anyway, there ya go.
The main menu is on the sidebar now. Searching the blog is all done through the navigation bar at the tippy-top of the page. I may add more later to the sidebar, as it’s much easier to do now, but whatever. I’m sure it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference to anyone.

Holy crap…… do I need to do a word verification to publish EVERY post from now on??? Yikes.
