I don’t know how many of you come to the front page of my site these days. Those who comment just come from the sub page to the post and leave. I have added a small Video box on the left hand side of the xanga front page. Just come to www.poetrybox.us and scroll down a bit you can see the box. When I am online you can see me…in my room where I sit and write, talk on the phone, watch T.V,listen to music or I just talk to myself if there is none to talk to.hehe. Those who have me on IM can come online and chat with me. I cando the LiveCast from anywhere, it means I can use my Treo and do theLiveCast too. You can see the difference from the quality of the videoor the writing under the video that says “LoinelyPoet’s Live Webcast(itmeans I am using my PC)” or it says “LonelyPoet’s Phone LiveCast”(it means I am using my Treo to do the LiveCast) The Treo cast is not good in quality as the camera is not that good. Anyway don’t get scared seeing a big headed poet cracking his head to write hehehe… and these days as it is Ramadhan I am fasting too so I don’t open my mouth a lot.
Laugh a lot if you can seeing my gestures. Long time back before I started the Xanga I had something called ‘LonelyPoet’s Poetry Workshop’ where one can see the whole room all the time. People come write comments like, we love the furry bear( I was fatter, with lot of hair and unshaved most of the time).. hehehe…. I am going to leave now leaving some pictures from China… the photographer Jason Lee did a remarkable job with the camera. Some pictures, hold a thousand lines of verse in them.
