Carpe Diem, or whatever

I just realized that Blogger has been messing with me. My most recent posts and all but the title of my last - but - one post seem to have vanished into nothingness.

I originally posted this poem by Ernie Morrison, obtained via thespark.com, on a morose Tuesday morning when I was in a funk and the end of the week was nowhere in sight. Now, even though the feeling has passed, the poem's too funny (juvenile, yes, but funny nevertheless) to ignore. Take THAT, Oprah!


Cärpe Diem

Believe in yourself, my friend,
There is nothing you can't do,
That is, until the Dark One rises,
and tears your soul in two.

Make the most of today, because tomorrow,
You will burn with the mark of the Beast,
Prepare your head for the Qrown of Thornz,
Inherit death like the rest of the meek.

It's time for Cärpe Diem,
Get lots of stuff done real fast,
Satan: you can't flee Him,
Seize the day, because today will be your last.

Suffer. [repeat X 36]

Hello World, again

It's been months since I loitered past this little outpost of the world wide web, and now, blowing the dust off this blog and wiping away the cobwebs, I find a sudden itch to write. But what's good enough to write about after a four month hiatus? I've written, deleted, re-written and tweaked several potential posts over the last few weeks because the content was too outdone, too trivial , or designed to induce massive pangs of guilt ( god, I have to return those library books).

But maybe I'll set the bar low and ease back into posting with this fleeting observation:

What weirder way to start the day than to watch two roaches mate in the office cafeteria? Ugh. Monday, bring it on.
