Pizza, pizza pizza...hmmm...been doing nuthing of importance today...playing Descent II, flipping through some web sites...for some odd reason, I just today got all the birthday card greetings through ICQ...better late than never I suppose...for those of you who sent one, thanks again...
On that note, this a poem I wrote on my birthday.  Knowing my handwriting like I know it, there will probably be illegible words here, so I'm transcribe it besides...
 
 

24th A day a year It's all the same Regulated intake Caffenaited Expository Birthday. A sigh a gasp Nothing's new. But a yearning for the pews Blows like the wind Through my kevlar. A thought a flinch Not so often Drowned in drink. Past the fifth Of light; Early Brunch. A hope a fear Transplanted from A sea to sea Sunset to rise Above myself Into myself. A pen a word It's been so long Takes a crowd To feel alone And lost Before the Muses. A page a code My Earthly Shell Hides my life As it exposes "Every" step and "every" Loving thoughtful deed. A roar a smoke Out of a tin funny curved AND shining Like I once dreamed My life would be. A move a hand Held up in stop No yield forth- Coming in this lane. Lonely troll on a bridge Take my first hope. Lonely poetics May as well Ignore the beat A trip a mile Worthless endeavor In quest of fun Wristbands taken Sober up and go home Focus on the PT run... A chair a floor Watches the masses Gyrate betwixt Boys & men & girls & women Writing it all down For momentos In Poetry.

Along similar lines, one of the diskettes I had my father send had some of my old "literary works" encoded on it; short stories and poetry...some good, some bad, some ugly.  Once I have my disk drive back in working order/replaced, I'll put those online and shift all the spoken word pieces over to that page as well...maybe alter the home page a bit while I'm at it, i dunno.  There are more pictures for the basic training segment, and those will be up soon also, intermixed amongst the others.  I'm still thinking of putting up a whole entire photo album section for the site as well.

I was going to try hitting a few balls on the driving range this weekend, but it's too hot out.  I still hafta go pick up my dry cleaning and get my haircut, but I'll do that tomorrow.  For now, at least, I'm just going to continue sitting here in my boxers, finish off the pizza eventually, and then...whatever, maybe actually get to coding, but, right now, I'm gonna pour myself a lovely sunday afternoon drink, wish I had a cigar to go along with it, and upload this little pitience of an entry...
