scratching that itch.
(I apologize for updating the timestamp. It was an accident.)
For years, I have been torn between two blogging styles ... everyday life stuff and photos/poetry. I have tried to make them work together and, to some extent, I have succeeded. After all, I generally include at least one photo when I blog. The poetry, however, is a different story. I feel weird including it alongside the mundane bits of my life and the dribble, like it doesn't belong. (It doesn't, even if it IS intertwined, an actual part of my life.)
So, I'm going to adjust the forthcoming content here a bit ... It will only include large size photos and poetry, similar to what I have done in the distant past. (I will also post the EXACT SAME CONTENT at my other photo and poetry blog, Daybook. (THIS is the feed for that site, if you'd like to add it to your RSS reader.) I will be adding photo project updates, as well as poetry, to www.jodianderson.com. Soon.
As for the mundane stuff? I was posting it simutaneously here and at my other soNOTcool blog, but now the everday stuff will ONLY be there. I would REALLY like it if you followed me there, if you enjoy reading about my life or whatever; It would mean a lot to me. (If you wish to subscribe with your RSS reader, THIS is the feed. You can also sign up for an email subscription at the site.)
(On a related note, over the next few days (weeks?), I will be posting 20 of my favorite, previously-written poems at Daybook. After that, I will focus on new work only.)
(Addendum: I will continue to visit everyone's blogs, and I hope to post regularly. I'll probably update my pulse as well.)

Yay. I loved the poem I read in your daybook rightnow!
I personally like it when you combine them. It's all you.
That photo is amazing!
@Fresh_Sprout - The thing is, when I combine them, I DON'T/WON'T WRITE POETRY. The combination stagnates me, suffocates me. See, just thinking about it I feel suffocated and have to tell you. (Not suffocated BY you, just the thought of keeping everything combined.)
Besides, I think that the *art* deserves its own space.
It's your xanga you can cry if you want to, I don't see the harm in keeping it all in one place.
Dang. I'll make the trip to the other page to get the updates.
@whonose - Well, I wouldn't post recipes in a poetry book ... if you know what I mean.
I understand completely. As you know I have many blogs, some updated, some not. I totally forgot about the other sonotcool type pad blog. I just rebookmarked it.
it's not that i don't want to read at other places, i'm just so lazy about checking the other pages. see, i told you i am a butthole. i added you to my rss feed, we'll see how that works.
i definately enjoy whatever you post!
You captured such a magnficent scene. I could not pass without sharing words. The effective artist is able to move the viewer, draw us in, baiting us to want what we never knew we wanted, and at the same time, not even knowing what it is that we want.
I just know I want to be there. I don't even know where there is.
I wish I was there at that moment, welcoming the sunlight.
But is it even morning? Or emerging twilight?
I could stare at that for countless, listless, minutes.
Thank you.
You know, I used to blog here on xanga constantly up till a couple years ago when some things got in the way. But I remained sub'd to you the whole time and always enjoyed reading your posts via my email. I always love your photos, your little clips of your day. I loved reading about something that X says (something about the way she thinks and then seeing the pictures with her long straight hair and bangs in her eyes... its like I go back into time when I was her age... wish I could go back there still)
I really enjoy all your posts. So I would be happy to follow your other blogs.
got cha covered girl...you are in my favorites now
my poetry days are over, but I'd like to take something you write and add it to a photo... come up with something and I'll find a photo and add it to it...
think of this like a test, some of us should get together and skill out...
Really adore that you got up early to get this
wanted some pictures of seemingly domestic tranquility and thought to come here.
Sounds like a plan. I'll follow.
That's a stunning picture - how did you get it?
@Mystic_In_Training - Just pick any foggy morning and get up before the sun rises above the horizon. I was on my way to the river when I noticed the color, so I pulled over and snapped the pic. Thanks so much for your comment.
