Apologies

I apologize yet again for not updating this blog in months. I will resuscitate it as best I can, with the hope that it will be better than before. Wish me luck.

I really like this greeting card.



This and other cards can be found here.

Sleep

I slept 10 hours yesterday. I think I needed that, but it caused me to miss yesterday's post. Oh well, I guess it was worth it.

Happy Late Valentines Day everybody!

The Clod and the Pebble

Here is a poem I really like, although I don't know why. Maybe I just like the idea of singing clay and warbling pebbles.

The Clod and the Pebble

"Love seeketh not Itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care;
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.

So sang a little Clod of Clay,
Trodden with the cattle's feet:
But a pebble of the brook,
Warbled out these metres meet.

Love seeketh only Self to please,
To bind another to Its delight:
Joys in another's loss of ease,
And builds a Hell in Heaven's despite."

~William Blake

Change of Plans

It has been a little more than a week since I started this little blog of mine. I thought I could manage two posts per day but this is simply too much work. I have decided to lower my sights to a more realistic one post per day (starting tomorrow). I hope I manage to keep this up long enough to ultimately not consider this enterprise a waste of your time and mine. I also hope that at the very least this blog will give you a moment of amusement. Maybe even two.

New Year’s Day 2009

Happy New Year’s Day to all. May your wildest dreams come true this upcoming year, as long as they don’t interfere with mine.

I normally don’t do New Year’s resolutions but I’ve decided to break this habit this year just for fun. Here are my resolutions for the year 2009 (in no particular order):

1) Take over the world

2) Win the lottery (multiple times is best)

3) Learn to ice skate

4) Stay away from sea monkeys, because they apparently are not my friends

5) Wake up no later than 8 am every day

6) Win the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, or at least the Lyttle Lytton Contest

7) Go to church every Sunday

8) Make a good pun, simile, or allusion once in a while

9) Become a beast at Guitar Hero or Rock Band, perhaps become good enough to be one of those people who videotape their games and post them on YouTube and get tens (some hundreds!) of views

10) Take care of my nanazoid

I get the feeling that my success rate will be very low this year but I will be optimistic. If all of the above fail to be accomplished I hope to at least become really really good looking, as opposed to really good looking (which I am right now). That’s right, I’m shallower than swash on a day when the wind is a one on the Beaufort scale. Okay, so I was kidding about being shallow but no one can argue that I’m stunning.

Again, I wish you all a very happy New Year’s Day and a year to come that is full of laughs and happiness.
