A Dose of Badass: 11/30/07

When I get home today, I will post some older things that I have written. I will get to it at home because i technically should be working, but am obviously not. Ive decided to dedicate my livejournal completely to poetry and photography, so this pretty little thing will be for everything else. If you're into that kinda crap you may view it here.

I’ve been sitting here at work for half the day, and I haven’t done anything at all. I spent the first 30 minutes staring at an excel spreadsheet and I realized that I exceeded my 40 grand sales goal by $11,145.60. When I came to said realization, I decided that I’m mentally taking the day off, and that I will do nothing but call Minor league baseball teams and people who visited us at the convention. I will not sell anything, but just ‘feel them out’ to see if I should send them information or whatever. That’s what im gonna tell my boss. Really I’m just gonna make a phone call every few minutes so people think I’m working.

On that note, today will be a slow day. I foresee blogs and surveys, music and napping in my chair.

My horoscope today is kind of interesting: You may face conflicts about your needs as they differ from what others want you to do. People in your immediate environment only add stress because they may be responding too impulsively for your taste. They might even want you to help by doing their job. As unfair as it seems, your ability to roll with the situation will bring you the acknowledgment you deserve.

I guess I’m just gonna roll with it then.

I feel brain dead though, and my vitamin water is not helping me much today..although I do feel much better now than I did at 8 this morning. I cant wait to die in front of the tv later.

Best Band Name Ever: Godspeed You Black Emperor

A Sonnet:

By: Edna St. Vincent Millay

What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply,
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in winter stands the lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone,
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more
