Could It Be?
A sky of numbers
A land of programs
A cloud of text
A beast of space
Where am I?
How did this magic occur?
Like a werewolf to a moon,
A curse where a flower blooms.
And suddenly the words disappear
From change and show
Like water all the way to snow.
A night in relation
A day in activity
A person with a message
A friend with string
Who are you?
Is the internet a language?
Like an electric light bee
The honey is poetry?
And suddenly the colors disappear
From wheel to circle
Like the spider of time in some miracle.
A link like a ninja
A thief like the news
A new part like a bridge
A dead relic of a site
Find me?
I will be a drum for the muses
Like a hollow of sound
Just a shell of what the ocean is.
And suddenly the music disappears
From note to boat
Like the cry of a wolf.
A mindscape of imagination
An e-space of the moment
An old part measured
A red part for another mix
Who me?
A gaticca of skills
Like a favorite movie
Just a review of the past
And suddenly the scare disappears
From figure to photograph
Like excellent distance on maps.
I’ll be back after these life changing events!

I am in the middle of going through a big transition in my life. All good ones, though.

Birds of Paradise
This is a neat looking bird. I’ve never seen one before. This just shows how amazing nature and planet earth can be.
Check his mating dance and how he impresses the girls. Unfortunately this little bird’s confidence got shot down in the end….
The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart Comes to Life
Twelve 7-Eleven stores got converted to Kwik-E-Mart in effort to promote the Simpsons Movie which is set to be released on July 27, 2007.
This new marketing approach of blending reality and fiction is sure creating a buzz among the Simpson fans.

There was a time when a successful movie promotion consisted of giving away plastic cups and toys with the purchase of a burger and fries.
Not anymore.
While fast food tie-ins are still a major part of generating hype for a new film, today Hollywood seeks larger and more creative means to create buzz. Call it organic, viral or guerrilla marketing.
The latest incarnation came this week when 7-Eleven transformed 12 of its convenience stores into caricatures of the Kwik-E-Mart as part of a promotion for “The Simpsons Movie.”
The promotion further blurs the line between reality and fiction.
It used to be that marketers tried to work real-life products into movies and TV shows. While that still happens, today some highly known fake products are creeping into reality.
One of the first was the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., a seafood restaurant chain that came out of the hit 1994 movie “Forrest Gump.” The first restaurant opened two years after the movie premiered. There are now 21 outlets in the United States and seven abroad including locations in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Cancun.
Items from the “Harry Potter” books and movies have also jumped from fiction to reality. A candy from the books — Bertie Bott’s Beans — are now available from jelly bean manufacturer Jelly Belly.
The 7-Eleven stores that have been turned into Kwik-E-Marts are stocked with products from “The Simpsons.”
There are boxes of KrustyO’s cereal, Buzz Cola, pink doughnuts and special edition “Radioactive Man” comic books. 7-Eleven also renamed its Slurpee frozen drinks as Squishees. One key “Simpson” product, however, is missing: Duff beer.
“‘The Simpsons’ 7-Eleven campaign feels wonderfully fresh to me,” said Drew Neisser, CEO of Renegade Marketing Group. “‘Simpsons’ fans are already buzzing about it.”
7-Eleven only converted 11 stores in the United States and one in Canada, but still managed to create a strong buzz, Neisser said.
“For ‘Simpsons’ fans, this is an inside joke on a colossal scale,” he said. “Among ‘Simpsons’ fans this conversion is sure to enhance their perceptions of 7-Eleven as a cool place to shop. What it is really clever about this is the blending of reality and fiction.”
