Holiday Time (December 29, 2005)

I buy no one gifts
Laziness and frustration
this christmas season.



A break from homework
I spend more time on haiku,
or online poker.



A feeding frenzy
the online aquarium
but the fish prevail.



The absence of school
The presence of sleepiness
It is without end



My life wastes away
"Be productive" say to self
Fuck yourself I say.



The first time in months
I notice the chirping birds
Have they always been?

In Class (December 9, 2005)

Avian bird flu.
Fear pours from every output.
I am not afraid.



Internet poker.
Finally on the wagon
among all the fish



A sushi lunch break—
two spicy tuna hand rolls:
Financial sinkhole.



Christmas approaches.
I prepare my bank account
to prove all my love.

asdf (December 7, 2005)

Almost Christmas break.
Ten school days and one paper
stand between us.



Causing pain and blood loss.
Three hangnails work together
parched by dry air.

Weekend (December 4, 2005)

The Chinese food curse:
Drink without satisfaction—
Soy sauce poisoning.



On the highway home
one wrong turn, turns into twelve.
The Ayde Mill exit

Wednesday (November 30, 2005)

Only four days old
already it's a fixture—
A blanket of snow.



A little water,
the frigid grasp of winter—
A broken bike lock.



The cold attacks me
but it offense is thwarted.
An armor of fur.

Tuesday (November 29, 2005)

Cold falls from the sky
snow flakes dancing in the wind
chilling air and ground.



Bucket of cold air
knock the groggy out of me.
Natures stimulant.



Buried by paper...
At least I don't have finals
technically speaking.



Dark at four PM.
Perfect climate for napping—
I always regret.

After Thanksgiving (November 28, 2005)

Enormous food plate—
happily I consume it.
Thanks Mrs. Solem.



I sleep thirteen hours.
Hugging my bed and my dreams.
Three days in a row.



My darling Lisa:
I would spend infinite time
if only I could.



Cold rainy bike ride.
"We wont do much today."
I should have skipped class.

First Snowfall (November 16, 2005)

First snow has fallen--
my emotions bittersweet
at seven A.M.



A frozen bike lock.
My breath defrosts the keyhole.
A bit light headed.



Once crowded bike rack
proudly stands in the snowfall
for the few bikes left.



Twenty four degrees.
Only badass bikers left.
Wimps got bus passes.



Inside my backpack
a frozen dinner thawing.
The teacher lectures.

Thursday (November 10, 2005)

Everyone's cramming.
Ready as I'll ever be
a test in logic.



Class registration
an advisor appointment
Stupid as can be.



Fuck my advisor
I register on instinct
Pure domination.



For an hour she talks.
Finally class is over.
Forgot what she said.



Overate sushi.
I drink but without relief.
Soy sauce poisoning



My eyes ask to close
I allow the to relax--
Walking the fine line.

Is it Thanksgiving Yet? (November 1, 2005)

Tight jeans and no thong!?
I can see underwear lines,
a total buzzkill.



A new bicycle
an expensive cable lock
hope it's not stolen.



World of Warcraft
highly addictive substance
class A narcotic.



A sellout roommate;
Sold his soul to World of Warcraft
twelve hours a day.

Midterms (October 27, 2005)

Hallways alive
the shuffling of papers
before the midterm.



Fucked by my homework
I give up and let it go.
No use in stressing.



Shoe conversation,
discussion on sex appeal--
intellectual.

Skipper Lowlife (October 26, 2005)

Debate with myself
and come to the conclusion
to skip my night class.

Cold (October 24, 2005)

Head phones for ear muffs.
Music fends off the weather
an ipod nation.



Someone is in my seat
A new person every day
What's wrong with your seats?

Longest Day Ever (October 19, 2005)

Longest day ever
sixty percent over
my mind on Lisa.



Cold frappuccino.
I enjoy the placebo
the caffeine brings me.



The last hour of class
checking the clock anxiously
takes three hours to pass.



Only two people
in this Russian lecture hall--
are easy to look at.

Broken internet (October 18, 2005)

Broken internet.
The pain is unbearable;
a part of myself



Rest the modem--
holding on to a false hope
fifth time a let down...

Work Shenanigans (October 11, 2005)

Take a step outside
greeted by a kiss of frost.
Better than coffee.



Patrick needs a smoke
but patrick has no lighter.
Patrick's life is shit.



Mountain dew for sale
Patrick buys all for resale.
Mountain dew baron.



Co-workers rub nuts
community Gold Bond.
Tingling sensation.

Disaster Festival (October 10, 2005)

In Minnesota
the construction doesn't end--
till the weather says.



Thirty thousand dead?
Finally a news story
Pakistan earthquake.



Disaster teamwork?
Earthquake and two hurricanes
killing together.



The Earth is angry;
teaching humans a lesson?
Too little too late.



In Minnesota
only blizzards and cold air.
A safe place to live.

Modern Pirates; Software Pirates (October 8th, 2005)

A computer ship,
cannon bits, grappling programs.
A software pirate.



An ocean of links...
From .rus to .uk and back--
Its out there somewhere.



Bit torrent programs;
dot torrent marks the spot.
The new treasure map.



A single nights catch:
four gigabytes of music.
Hard drive full of loot.



Criminal hackers,
deadly bugs and viruses;
perils of the sea.



A pirates bookmarks
are treasures all their own.
A port collection.



Serial number!?
Is that the best you can do?
CerealBox pick.

Stolen Bike (September 30, 2005)

Enjoy my bike prick
I hope you die riding it
Hit by my car.



If I had my way--
An eyeball aids injection.
I'm in a good mood.



Disgusting cough--
Next time you get throat cancer
take a few days off.

Untitled (September 14, 2005)

A cell phone vibrates.
We can all hear it dumbfuck
the middle of class.



A cell phone ringing!?
Fifth ring are you serious?
The balls on this kid.



This class wastes my time
I come for attendance points
Earning every point.



Super smash brothers
Mario and Luigi
Now, they settle it.
