Work Musings (January 26, 2009)
Pile of dry tea bags
One more added to the group
The passage of days
Empty sugar bowl
Too lazy for a refill

Work Musings (January 5, 2009)
Realized too late—
Stranded in a timeless world
Forgotten wrist watch
My nine-pound jacket
Donning winter armor
Preheating the car
Spamming coffee
My fifth cup in an hour
—I don’t like coffee

Why I Love Winter
It's fall. That means it's cold and winter is coming. I am a huge fan of the winter for four reasons which I am happy to share with you right now. The cold air is clean, I get to wear my badass jacket, I get to keep food in my car, and the nights are longer.
You know how parents and grandparents are always saying nonsense like "Wear a coat or you will catch a cold?" Some kind of old barbaric belief that actually being cold is what causes you to catch a cold? Well the opposite of that is true. Germs can't flourish when it's 10 degrees outside, the same way they don't do so well in your fridge. When you walk outside in the wintertime and take a deep frosty breath you can rest assured than you are not inhaling any germs or allergens (well maybe SOME germs).
Speaking of coats. I happen to have a very badass jacket that weighs nine pounds. But it's not just wearing it that makes me like the cold. It's because when I have to put on a coat I have pockets! I love having pockets. I hate having to keep my car keys in my pants. Especially with these stupid fat plastic keys I have for my Passat. They are like keys for a toy car you buy at TOYS'R'US. They are HUGE! and you need two of them to make the car work. I have some other keychains and stuff on it too so it's a huge pain in the ass! I love just leaving that pile of shit in my coat pocket and not having it effect my life.
I mentioned food in my care. What am I talking about? Well you ever try to keep a Snicker's bar in your car during the summer? I bet you know what I am talking about, that candy bar is ruined. Well in the winter time, you can keep whatever you want in your car and it wont rot or melt. I am mostly just talking about candy like Three Musketeers bars, and Snickers. But it even works with beef jerky. If it gets REALLY cold than the stuff will actually freeze, and you get the pleasure of eating frozen M&M or jelly beans on those long care rides. Check it out.
Finally, the long nights. This one is very simple. I am a horrible sleeper. I often go to bed very very late. By late I mean 6AM. Because I am such a fragile sleeper, the sun coming into my room disturbs me further. When it's winter and the sun doesn't rise until 10AM then I have a much easier time sleeping. Which I like. I used to hate it when I was little because I could only play outside until like 5:30PM, but I don't play outside anymore so I don't care about the night. I just want the sunrise to be later.
According to Dante's Divine Comedy the eighth and final layer of hell isn't actually a place full of fire but of ice. It's a large frozen lake in which the sinners are trapped, frozen up to their necks. Interesting how this presents cold as the worst place to be. Part of the conspiracy to convince the world that summer is a preferable season. Non-sense I say.

Many World Kaizo Mario Lvl 1
Check out this video.
http://msm.grumpybumpers.com/?p=20
It is a run of the first level of the Kaizo Rom-Hack of Super Mario World. He overlays all of his attempts into the same video, so you can see all the deaths, but not waste any time! I wish he did the whole game like this.

5:59am (August 16, 2008)
sun already up
awake I lie restlessly
classical music
writing on empty
no muses left in my life
—just a snoring dog
with the rising sun
light seeps into my house
every orifice

SNES Cravings (July 24, 2008)
Sometimes I get the craving to play certain SNES games. I remember how much fun I had beating the last boss. Even though I am fully equipped and capable of satiating these cravings and actually playing the game. I usually go download a speed-run of the game, and watch it. Today, I craved Turtles in time.
Only one turtle
Eight hundred dead foot soldiers
Splinter would be proud
Only one turtle
Eight hundred dead foot soldiers
Shredder grinds his teeth

Life - (Work + Sleep) = Zero (June 27, 2008)
Fourteen hours at work
Nothing to look forward too
nightly cup of tea
plenty of money
not a moment to spend it
only half a life

A missing ladder
Insulation guy curses
It was fiberglass
work to meet deadline
plumbers and electricians
In each other's way
army of tradesmen
experts in respective fields
each tool-belt unique
