I stumbled across this poem on the net today.. and I loved it. I do this a lot... I look online when I am bored... for bits of poems or stories... or articles... or manifestos... anything great or brilliant or wonderful.... and I realize more so than ever.... that greatness falls to perception and experience and that what I find great... a lot of people will hate.... but here is something I loved.... mainly because it is a new perception.... and I saw the Family Guy the other night and Norm Macdonald was the voice of Death... and while I hate Norm... I loved the show.... anyway... here it is...

Eyes Fastened With Pins
By: Charles Simic



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How much death works,
No one knows what a long
Day he puts in. The little
Wife always alone
Ironing death's laundry.
The beautiful daughters
Setting death's supper table.
The neighbors playing
Pinochle in the backyard
Or just sitting on the steps
Drinking beer. Death,
Meanwhile, in a strange
Part of town looking for
Someone with a bad cough,
But the address somehow wrong,
Even death can't figure it out
Among all the locked doors...
And the rain beginning to fall.
Long windy night ahead.
Death with not even a newspaper
To cover his head, not even
A dime to call the one pining away,
Undressing slowly, sleepily,
And stretching naked
On death's side of the bed.

E.E. Cummings has a poem entitled "I Sing of Olaf Glad and Big". For some reason, that justs tickles the shit out of me. :)

I am tired.... dragging ass kinda sleepy today. I need to go to the gym... that is what I need to do. The sad reality is that the only exercise I will get today will be a walk to class after work.

I went to my parents' house last night. Mom made spaghetti. It was good... like wow. I love that my mom can cook well. I need to vomit though... I swear.... it is like I have had heartburn lately.... and maybe a little vomitaroo will wake my ass up. just one of those days lol.

Anyway, I am so sleepy and I need to get some work done. :)

I have an idea.... to do something bad.... but something fun.... something potentially legendary. I will update on it later. But should I get the balls.... this could be great.

So do not get into a conversation about greek life with a gay guy.... he insists that fraternity pledges get raped. I mean he is adamant. "They get raped! You dont want to believe it, but it does go on". Killin me. I am yet to know of any frat that rapes its pledges.... I mean, I dont want to state the obvious.... but that is clearly hazing lol.

The Walterboro boys were in town this weekend. They are always a fun bunch. Stef needs to meet Brooks... now that would be some funny shit... and she is yet to see Party Boy.

A MKTG paper was due yesterday.... we turned it in.. and I dare to think that we should do pretty well on it. Overall, it was a good paper.

I am looking forward to graduating.... only there is one problem... I am still jobless. yikes!
