hi, it’s me col here. i’m a girl. i live in new york city. i’m a writer. i love music. i love my family and friends and my cat aretha. writing, music, family, friends and animals bring me joy. blogging brings me joy. i like to make things, especially fun.
verses committed to my memory:
- the our father
- the hail mary
- several short langston hughes poems
- most lyrics by a tribe called quest
- the first stanza from canción de otoño en primavera by rubén darío:
juventud, divino tesoro,
¡ya te vas para no volver!
cuando quiero llorar, no lloro …
y a veces lloro sin querer.
and
- the stanza from w.h. auden’s ‘in memory of wb yeats’ that goes:
time that is intolerant
of the brave and innocent,
and indifferent in a week
to a beautiful physique
worships language and forgives
everyone by whom it lives
pardons cowardice, conceit
lays its honors at their feet.

Hey Col!
It’s been a while since we last spoke. How have you been?
Anyhow, here’s a link to one of the pieces I recorded:

Hey there Col. I finally figured out that you had a blog/page what ever we can call this location here, that is really no where. I look forward to reading more of your words of wit and rantings.

Hi col, I was looking for something in internet and I found a blog (from a guy named Barry) where somebody mentioned me like a guy with a non easy last name.
At what school did you guys go? It strange this situation beacuase it been a lots of years that I left your country. It funny to see that somebody can remember my name after all these years.
Sorry for my complicated english but I live in a spanish speaking country.
I remenber a teachers name that was misses Nestler.
It interesting than you posted something of Rubén Dario.
Well Buy. It`s weird, but maybe you and those limited speakers where in the same class than me. If it is that way a send to you a big salute with a very deep conciosness ( I dont now if it writeble this way) of time and space.
Good luck in your life.

Hi Col, yes I’m Hugo. I went to the Ann Blanche Smith School in New Jersey. I’m trying to remenber haw could you guys look like when we was at 6,7 or 8 years old. I remember some friends I had but i’m very bad with the names.
It was realy strange that somebody of one of the school’s that I went in the United States remembered me and my complicated name.
Will be in contact for remembering.
Good Luck in your life…..
A big hug…..

Hey Col….I was searching around for people who attended this event and came across your page. You wouldn’t happen to be an explorer? I only ask because I had someone named Colleen that I was supposed to meet but never met

Ahhh!!! According to my little booklet, you were one of five females I had to meet but unfortunately I didn’t see you in the crowd. Nice idea, poorly executed!
