Pillar
George left a lot of himself on SI, a clear portrait of financial disaster chiseled with attention to spirit and elan, apparently a true believer. George appears to apprehend the new land, appearing to apprehend and apprehending are similar in many ways, the difference is embedded in the clay of history, shelved in the deepest structures of our digital selves. Agenda is always rooted in our digital birth, we exist because we choose to exist, the birth canal in the new land is and always will be agenda. Our investment of time is as important as our investment of capital but neither compares to the most precious thing we have, the investment of our belief. In reading the quote from George's googlewhack he appears to have invested his belief in the new land, in fact, if he had invested his belief in the new land and not in his place on the battlefield he might still be here. George made an investment. I am not sure if this investment was ever a wise investment, but so many are not that who am I to judge.<s> You are probably wondering what it was that George bought, he may have purchased the ultimate product that Timbo described so long ago. I wonder about George, in many ways the structure he created is as suspect as the stock he purchased. George used the word onward a lot in his journey through our land. His commitment to the company he purchased stock in was very evident, George was a pillar of the thread. It would take several years and many thousands of dollars before George would eventually lose faith in the company and his musings on honour and integrity, trust and true strength would form the tail end of the story. |
