got seoul?

Let's
Go
Forward!
There's no way from the first
What we go, that's a road.

The world of imagination
Like a Utopia what we've dreamed
Imagine, then it comes true.
Just imagine whatever you want. ZD!X comes along with you

Creative Minority, ZD!X

zillion dreams in X-Generation

What a crystalline Sky,
like a bird flying high...
The gull sees farthest who flies highest
Now, look at your shoulder. You can find a new wing ZD!X be with you.

Forest in green
Likd a growing bud
We are going by creating the nature.
Present of nature from you. Ever the same. ZD!X comes along with you

Beginning of Spring
Like a plain blossom...
A lovely present flower gives.
A blossom in your mind. Sweet scent, ZD!X comes along with you.

A bridge in mind
Like a lamplight shining in the darkness...
Because you don't know, you are afraid.
ZD!X lights the way you are on. A fresh confidence, ZD!X comes along with you.

statistically improbable phrases

at amazon.com they offer the following assistance for the curious reader in search of... in search of... well, read for yourself:

Amazon.com Statistically Improbable Phrases

Amazon.com's Statistically Improbable Phrases, or "SIPs", are the most distinctive phrases in the text of books in the Search Inside!™ program. To identify SIPs, our computers scan the text of all books in the Search Inside! program. If they find a phrase that occurs a large number of times in a particular book relative to all Search Inside! books, that phrase is a SIP in that book.

SIPs are not necessarily improbable within a particular book, but they are improbable relative to all books in Search Inside!. For example, most SIPs for a book on taxes are tax related. But because we display SIPs in order of their improbability score, the first SIPs will be on tax topics that this book mentions more often than other tax books. For works of fiction, SIPs tend to be distinctive word combinations that often hint at important plot elements.

what was the last statistically improbably phrase you wrote? or encountered? i wish they had a "submit your phrase to learn it's improbability rating" gizmo.

New Orleans

How could we let such destruction and death fall so hard on a place that where so much beautiful music comes from?

It's time to re-think things. This shit is fucking impossible in the America I want to live in.

First things first though.
