Furlough Days

Here is a poem written by one of my best friends, Mary Beth. She's basically a bunch of awesomeness and hunour mixed with a splash of weirdnes. Perfectness.


Furlough Days


There seems to be no solution
To this pollution
This mind fuck of information
This constant sensation
Caused by each generation
That’s affecting the whole nation
Nothing to be done by politicians
With their tall tales of fiction
It’s worse than an addiction
Cause there is no fixation
No single dictation
Or calculation
That can fix these relations
But here I come with this proclamation
And dedication
To help our education
There is no reason to write this dissertation
Besides to voice my frustration
About these fake fabrications
When they are truly devastations
Seen as inevitable extinction
Why is no one seeing with clear vision?
The need to take action
Is the right kind of reaction?
And to come to a new destination
Have some better comprehension
There should be no disorientation
For something with this duration
We’re filled with trepidation
This saddening expression
Is occupying my attention
But on occasion
There is fake jubilation
False elation
Undeserving celebration
This sort of flirtation
Without direction
They find relief in a contradiction
With increased inebriation
They create a worse situation
This unwanted alcoholic association
That creates stereotypes affecting the whole schools population
There is not a single notion
In my hearts palpitations
That this subjugation
Will ever have a solution

Hello Children!

I took this pic. Just saying.

My first blog of 2010 - I can't believe it's taken over a month to post anything!!

New Years was a blast, spending it with my awesome sister and a bunch of wonderful drunken fools. Since then, I've been going to class, working and hanging out with said bunch of drunken fools. A lot. 

This year I was hoping to get back into running and basically spending this year growing up a bit. Shall be fun, with a challenge to beat someone running 2 miles around a lake next week. If I lose, then I buy him a 12 pack of beer. If he loses, I get $10 gas money - it was an offer I couldn't pass up.

So, fingers out of noses, asses into gear and let's see what 2010 has to offer us!
