Tedium

I went to bed at 2am last night after the LAN and awoke at 5:30am. I couldn't sleep. I read some and finally got back to sleep sometime later. I woke up at about 10:30. So, I feel a little tired. My hamstring hurts a bit for some unknown reason. I also filed my taxes today, which was an experience. After that, I played some Warcraft III, picked up my room, went to Target to buy some cereal / goldfish crackers / put in time off requests, went to Goodwill to drop off a weight (note: Goodwill doesn't take single weights), and finally went to Best Buy to pickup Battlefield 1942: Road to Rome, which is only $15 this week! Make sure to snag it.

Today's Music
Dredg - Whoa is me

Today's Poetry (by me)
Drive

Slamming the accelerator
tires loosing their shrill shrieks
groaning and gutteral
gasoline-induced glory:
acceleration

she grabs the road
hugs the corners
dances the fandango
wails under duress

pure beauty
raw emotion
unadulterated
immaculate
drive

Fleet

Whisking gently along gently
The green blades of glass sway
A soft, waxy texture underfoot
the swish of the weeping willow
crying on its pillow
maybe it's crying for me?

The evanescent winds of time
pass unceasingly
fleet of foot and keen of sight
their ken is limitless, all-encompassing
omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, are their
equivalents of hammer, sickle, and plowshare

I hear them singing:
in the thickest forest
on the highest snow-covered summit
in the deepest canyons
their melodic cries echo unceasingly,
for all to hear.

One day, I too will make the melody of the wind,
when will that day be?
