allied: Jeneane Sessum Blogs about Writing, Life, and Loss (her archive from 5/16) has a link
a quote from it:
Locke Locks In On Blogging
There's a wonderful interview with Chris Locke on Marketplace Morning Report that hit the airwaves this morning, tickling the ears and brains of some 2,000,000 listeners (yup, I said two million).
You can listen to the RealAudio stream here or go to the marketplace.org homepage and click on "The Best of Today's Morning Report."
Chris may not tell you, but I will, that Tess Vigeland was so jazzed about the blogging topic that she got the segment extended from something like two minutes to a full six or seven minutes.
The best thing about this is that Chris Locke is one of our own. Tireless champion of the net and weblogs. If you're tired of non-bloggers talking about what we do, go take a listen to Chris and drink up the good news. While you're at it, blog the hell out of this.
Actually that's the whole blog entry, before I lose my place again......man, it took me 30 minutes to find that link again, but I found a couple of good weblogs along the way, so there is serendipity once again.......

Halley's Comment
Just prior to seeing the quote I pulled from the RageBoy site (Rageboy, if you didn;t already know, is Chris Locke's online alter-ego/persona/handle), I had heard a real audio file (the link to which I could have sworn I found ON the rageboy site, but I had to seach it up and found this mention of it in Halley's comments in this entry

Sitting here sipping my coffee, sort of missing the Church I remember, wondering when and how that's going to happen again.......or maybe it's not something I remember, but something I've always hoped for, and have little glimpses of it in rare moments. It's like the line in Field of Dreams (which was referring to Baseball in context, but fits like a glove here):
"People will come, Ray, .....and remember something what once was good, and could be again..."
I just listened to a Real Audio clip of Christopher Locke talking , as we was talking on "Marketplace" about Weblogging, and I went back to http://www.rageboy.com where I found that link and read this:
This reminded me of something I wrote in Gonzo Marketing...
"Something animated and vital looks out from our children's eyes. Whatever it is, we recognize it and know it is precious. Yet except in rare cases today, that spirit is broken early and irreparably. The light goes out all too soon. We know, because at some inarticulate and dimly conscious level, we are those children. We feel the wind of spirit move us at odd moments, but put it down to nostalgia or temporary possession by some impractical flight of fancy. We shake it off and get back to work. Robbed of a voice to speak of these things, something animated and vital looks out from our own eyes, but only in rare, unguarded moments - and even then, wary, circumspect, suspicious. We let no one see what we fear no one will understand." |
Good bit of writing. It captures something of what I'm feeling right now; that feeling that I know there's a "could be again" aspect to continuing to try and constantly trying to muster up new hope to put on a happy face and be an evangelist for the opportunities and potential for capturing community wherever we can capture it. And shame on us if we miss ANY opportunity to capture and highlight and celebrate the joy any of us has to contribute, most often represented in what moves us; what excites us; what entertains us; what makes us laugh; what makes us mad; what concerns us.
