I am the frivolous coyote— I wander about.
I have seen Hasjesh-jin’s fire— I wander about.
I stole his fire from him— I wander about.
I have it! I have it!—Navajo Creation Chant
I decided my to give away my old Blackberry since I don’t use it anymore. First I needed to delete the personal memos from the three years I had it: 2009-2012.
Because I am too lazy to figure out how to download them to my computer, I decided to type them out and save them that way. This was not a big project because:
A. I usually carry a notebook.
B. I don’t have that many ideas.
I also started tweeting after I got rid of my Blackberry; today, many of these thoughts would be born (and die) as tweets. Since I don’t know my own mind, I am posting them here, when the whole point of transferring the memos was to keep them private. Forgive me for editing out a few very personal items. You don’t need to see those.
