“I’m Alright, Nobody Worry ‘Bout Me”

August 6th, 2005 Daniel

What a long, tiring, draining, extremely productive week it has been. I have a ton of stuff to do this weekend, but I want to get back into the habit of updating my blog on a regular basis.

I am feeling pretty good right now and am in a relatively good mood. I’ve been enjoying my new/used stereo surround sound system (thanks again Mark; fast shipping, extremely easy to work with, A+++++ eBayer; heh heh) and am generally optimistic. My apartment is clean and as the old song goes, I am feeling groovy. I was supposed to sing the National Anthem tonight with my chorus at Sox Park, but I didn’t really feel like it this time. I can still go, sing, and come home, but whats the point? Been there, done that (I sound like such a diva…shut up Steve).

My weekend plans include doing some long overdue reading, getting some quarters for laundry, doing some webdev (side work doesn’t complete itself), and watching a movie in cinematic stereo surround sound. If I get really ambitious I may try and do some actual writing, although I haven’t decided if I am going to work on a poem, a short story, a screenplay, or just a dirty limerick.

Speaking of poetry, one of my poems from years ago "On Road To Nowhere" was selected to be included in a poetry.com poetry contest as well as be included for publication in their next book this fall. They of course are encouraging me to buy the book, although purchasing is not necessary for inclusion. I thought it was pretty cool anyway, and I’ll probably end up buying the book (I’m a whore for seeing my name in print, just ask David).

As I get things more organisized (think Bickle), I will create a poetry section and place all my poems up here. I just got done with my first new one in many many years, but I may wait a while to start posting the new stuff.

BTW, here is the poem "On Road To Nowhere" (note, this was written 10 years ago):

On Road To Nowhere

On road to nowhere so I go,
Thinking long while time goes slow,
Watching miles melt away,
Caring not for night nor day,
A shattered dream steals my face,
I wonder why I’m in this place,
My need to roam to find my life,
Shadows all my current strife,
I’ve played the game and roundly lost,
What have I left to pay the cost,
A chasing wind had kept me sane,
But I no longer need that pain,
So still I’ll wander where I feel,
Searching far to find what’s real,
On road to nowhere there I’ll be,
Wondering what’s become of me.

Anyway, the day is quickly passing and I need to get a jump on things. For my friend(s) out there in internet-land, read between the lines about this week and know that "I’m alright, nobody worry ’bout me". Later…

I'm Alright, Nobody Worry 'Bout Me

Cute, brown, and furry…just like me.
