They
They thrust a spade into the barren earth
They dug up El Amarna's temple nave
They found the Knossos palace, Karong tombs,
Old Ur and Memphis, Tutankhamen's grave.
Swiftly years melted and the night of fog
That shrouded prehistoric man dissolved
Yet while They revive the vanished law and creed
Forge the fatal weapons of ancient battle day
Unheard They echo ancient wisdom when They plead
That those who split the atom should cleave the past and pray
And knowing well no suppliance will breathe in wind that blows
Over desolate earth when caveman turns the clay
And hoes an ornate Cross that ice-age froze
And wonders who, in the rain god's name, were They.

I am a genius!
So I've noticed that this blog has a cyclical structure. I go through periods of posting over a short time period and then neglect it. I have found a way to ensure that there is something new on the blog at any time.
You may notice that I have embedded the live stream of P3 Sveriges Radio in the right hand corner of the blog. Consequently, I have established a new dynamic medium to which this blog can break all grounds.
I should stop now because I vowed that I would not actually talk about blogging in my blog but this change had to be stated. It's just that damn awesome.
P.S. It's pretty funny when music starts playing without knowing it's there, annoying the living daylights of people. I guess that's some additional motivation =D.
P.P.S. I realise that I visit my blog more because it is easier to listen to SR P3 this way than going to their website. Consequently, I predict an upswing in activity.

The Plan
We all watch James Bond movies while wearing suits.
It's a foolproof plan!
Now a date must be set...
