One of the greatest writers (and humans) in the history of man and this is the best fpp you can come up with? egad.
I was mostly speechless when it happened =(
Basically, what happens is that there is a Interests, Favourite TC Shows, Favourite Books section etc, in the main profile. From the page that represents the entire college, say Keene State College, you can find what the most popular favourite book (by numbers) is in that college.
I'll post a couple of poems...I think the first one applies to us all:
Dot GenerationTo my generation.
We live in the shadows of coffeestained nights
plagued by early-morning jitters,
searching for ourselves,
in empty pages of flash and Java.
Stumbling on pages,
searching for ourselves.
The pale light of monitors casts visages upon our own,
.jpeg's, .mp3's, .doc's,
.com, .org, .gov, .net, .edu
.generation
searching for ourselves.
404, 207, white box / red x, broken link.
Youtube, yahoo, google, digg, wikipedia
my spacebar space, books filled of forgotten faces,
searching for ourselves,
googling our generation,
.me, .you, .us
-------------------------------------------
Emptiness
The bed seems so big since you left it.
Its twisted and coiled sheets so lonely without you here.
Yet the indelible impression of your body remains;
on the bed and in my head.
The sculpted impression of your head
is molded into the cottonwhite pillow
that contrasted so beautifully with your hair.
Our scents hang in the air above me like a wedding veil.
It seems so long ago, oh, it seems so long ago when hours ago
you and I, together forever in memory,
belonged to the breathless world of fullbodied touches.
Our honeyed lips and satined skin
roiled and flowed with the sheets
that encased us like a womb:
a resolute barrier against the emptying night.
Still, our unending kisses had to end,
and the passionmarks that resulted will fade with time.
And you my love, you too will fade with time,
and so will I,
until nothing of us remains.
Except this,
here.
You know, I might just be able to make this my first ever MoFi meetup, but I still have to run it through a few people, but I might be able to do it. =)
