Insight, "YouTube & Viacom: Time wasted, Not forgotten"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

YouTube & Viacom: Time wasted, Not forgotten

long ago

poem of long ago, a classic one might say. revisiting what was hot back then now appears to be hot again today. a look at all ones experiences being tracked on youtube, being demanded by viacom — some activities of which I am less proud or desirous, more embarassness to share

ago again

had fun with the placement of words, from "…you. Tube" to "…via. Come" to 2 main players in this still ongoing saga

Classic: "YouTube & Viacom: Time wasted, Not forgotten"

Passing my life. Time
Blurred by. Gone
The details art. Full
Experiences sung. When
Shared, laughed to. Night
At PC became day. Spring
Video and next. Ended
Journey of me and you. Tube
Down a gone. I
History protected done. Key
To my is mine. Us
Less ‘OK’ to they is not. Thing
Is wait I stop. Age
To protected when. Did
Do what when via. Come
Now know soon.

not enough

Huanhuan

not enough can i seem to get,
the tingles of excitement.
as i watch all day,events and records,
channel to channel is much
too little for me and
the online by way of traditional,
again falling far too short.
this event, my event,
my challenge to strive,
channeling huanhuan,
faster, higher – stronger, too,
to win to view,
one world of —
be it all live or on record,
but to see, to succeed,
achieving one dream,
and be with the many other
athletes as they run and jump
and fall i will strive,
using all my spirit and
veetle youtube more
for it will never be enough.
