Maybe Later

Whole explanations are boring and usually ignored, so I won't do one just yet. I was looking at my own search history today and got a kick out of it. I was reminded of a few years ago when AOL had this SNAFU and released the search logs of its users. At first it might seem okay since everyone was given an anonymous number, but then it became apparent that people often ruined any possibility of anonymity by supplying their own names or personal information in searches.

My little faux haiku today:

eye balls

Rebecca Black Friday

what are tears?

A friend made a witty comment, obviously readjustment after Peace Corps is taking its toll (since I missed out on the train wreck that is Rebecca's song - "Friday."

Since that is hardly a real haiku, here is a bonus from the AOL search logs:

unsolved San Jose deaths

unsolved murder of Tara Marowski

test to see if you're a serial killer

These will be the guidelines so far: haikus will come from real search histories, limited to 3 lines, and no series of haiku longer than 2. Syllabic constraints will be something I try to work within but not if it sacrifices the humor.
