Rachel
Beautiful brown hair
A smile that showcases teeth
Call me sometime girl
Lolz... that was another joke poem. I tried to make it a haiku but I'm not sure if I know what a haiku is. All I read somewhere was that a haiku is all about 5-7-5. Who's rachel? She's the new VJ on CMT. Hahaha, I have a little crush on her even though I don't think she's that good looking or that good a VJ. Oh well. 8 in a row.
Edit: Oops. Her name is Ashley. Sorry Ashley, my bad.

Moron
Moron
You, my former friend
are a moron
I thought you were nice
but I couldn't have been more wrong
I now include you with
the rest of your clan
All you fools are cowards
Step up, take command
Actually, just don't talk to me again
ever

I am Cookie
I am Cookie
My death folder is simple
It's seamless, no wrinkles
My instructions are few
It involves my ashes, that's a clue
Two cups of flour to two table spoons of me
I am cookie
Lolz, I'm getting so lazy. Technically, I didn't write a poem yesterday but it's 12:45am right now so I will still count this as keeping my streak alive since I haven't slept yet. I was watching HIMYM tonight and it was the one where Marshall and Lily had to make death folders for each other in case one of them died suddenly. Marshall made a joke about Marshall brownies. I made the same joke a while back about how I wanted my ashes baked into cookies and served at my funeral. So file this knowledge away for later and enjoy the cookies if you forget.

Tired
Tired
My stomach is uneasy with hunger
My left eye is twitching
It's signaling that I should get some rest
Too bad I phail at sleeping
A knot in my back
Haunts my movements
Like a ghost it disappears
and reappears to discourage my progress
I knew today's poem was gonna be weak since I totally just wanna go straight to bed. I was thinking that I could drag up a poem I wrote at WC a few years ago but I couldn't find it and so I'll save it for a later date. There have been a few engagements around here recently so I have an idea around that theme but I'm too tired to develop it at the moment. I'm just writing that in here so I don't forget. K, sometimes my poems are pure fabrications but seriously, I'm tired.

Uses for a Chair
Uses for a Chair
When I hear your name
I want to throw the nearest chair
at the furthest wall
When I see your face
I need to sit down in the nearest chair
cause I'm afraid I'll fall
Fall in love with you
all over again
I wish I needed glasses
I'm scared for myself because my iPod is slowly making me deaf
Wow, I was really uninspired for this one (it's hard writing everyday)... But I thought it would be fun to go back to my old school poem moods. I dunno why but I've always liked the "I want to throw the nearest chair at the furthest wall" line. I remember feeling that way years ago. It just seems like such an illustrative line and it portrays so much raw emotion. I'm glad I don't punch walls or throw chairs in real life, although at times, I wonder if I wouldn't enjoy it.
As you can see, I tried to start off having a rhyming scheme but I got lazy and left it behind. I think the last section is kinda clever and cute. I dunno. Well, peace out. That's 4 days straight baby!

Wake Up Stress
Wake Up Stress
It's midnight
I should get to bed because I have an important day coming up
I crawl under my covers and
turn off the light
1 am
I'm fine
as long as I sleep fairly soon I'll still get 7 hours of sleep
What is that? Like three cycles of REM?
2
Sheesh.
How did one hour pass so quickly?
Maybe I'll read a chapter of Eldest to get myself tired
She-elf, Arya, I love you
3
My eyes are so tired
but even if I fall asleep right away, I'll only get 5 hours
Maybe playing some mario kart on my ds will help
Hmmm... it's been a while since I played luigi
4
Why am I so awake now?
Maybe I should get out of bed and do something productive
I phail at sleeping
5
I'm so screwed now
No matter what happens, I'm gonna be so tired
What time does the sun rise?
8:22
I hit the snooze button once for good measure
Hmm... that was fairly weak. I don't know how I'm gonna keep this chain alive. Things are getting harder. And I'm running on like 2 hours of sleep, but I want my chain to proudly announce that I've "been getting stuff done for 3 days straight". Why can't I sleep? Because I'm handing in my thesis today. Why is that a big deal? Cause I don't know if grad studies will accept it without any changes and I'm pretty much out of time. I wish I didn't have such a good imagination. I can manage to imagine all sorts of things going wrong.
Anyways, if it wasn't clear in the "poem", wake up stress is something I get when I know that I should get a good night sleep cause I have to be awake at a certain time the next day. And every hour that I lie awake (not sleeping), my mind starts to worry that I won't get enough sleep and the worrying makes it even harder for me to sleep. Worrying - the man-made perpetual motion machine.
One thing about the new year that I don't look forward to is reading Genesis. I'm reading the Bible this year in chronological order of the events that occur in it. It's called the Daily Bible and it's probably the 4 or 5 bible reading program that I've done in recent years. This morning, I read about Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord. I dunno why but I associate the name Nimrod with a stupid, pathetic person... not a mighty anything. What word am I actually thinking of but not remembering properly? Anyways, maybe when my thesis gets approved by the Faculty of Graduate Studies, I'll write a poem titled "w00t", the word of the year in 2007.

70 Minutes to Nowhere
70 Minutes to Nowhere
First time on the bus this year 2008
I'm headed to nowhere and I'm sure to not get there fast
The bus driver announces
McPhillips!
She catches me off guard
I feel like I got married yesterday
perhaps I dreamt that I did
Mountain!
Again she startles me as I try
to remember my dreams from yesterday
Portage!
I was ready that time
I'm making a come back
It's 1-2 for her
Grant!
dang it... 1-3
Why am I even going to school today?
Plaza Drive!
so that's what that street is called
cool
University of Manitoba terminal
I'm here
Can't wait to go home
yeah so today was my first time on a bus since they made the bus drivers announce every stop. I find it rather annoying and unnecessary for the most part. I think if someone needs help on where to get off, they can tell the bus driver and he/she can announce those particular stops.
So, I was heading to school today cause I had nothing better to do and didn't want to just be sitting at home waiting around, babysitting my email. It totally was a waste of my time. I talked to my prof for like 20 seconds after waiting outside his door for over 10 minutes. He was showing a new PhD student around. However, later tonight, I did find out that my thesis rewrites have been approved and I can finally hand it in. Praise the Lord!!
On a total aside, I was looking for the tabs for the Growing Pains theme song and according to the tabber, I had the lyrics wrong all these years. I thought the line was "we know we're near the end" but the tabber had it as "we're nowhere near the end". Hmmm... that is a lot happier than my version. Yesterday, my adsense had an ad for depression poems. I'm gonna try to right some more happy stuff or at least stuff about products like Sony Playstation and Xbox 360 in order to get that ad off my blog. Although I think it is random cause when I checked again this morning, it was an ad for Maya Angelou... who knows. Peace out. Oh, as I write this, I'm drinking a root beer with banana rum. My belly is all warm now. Yay for me.

I'm gonna try to post more (no poem)
I'm gonna try to write more often. Hopefully every day. I ran across this tool on digg.com the other day. It's called dontbreakthechain.com and it is a visual tool that helps you to form better habits. The goal is to do something everyday in order to keep the chain alive. As a gamer, I like the idea of chains. Hopefully, I will be able to make some decent chains... and maybe I won't convince myself that if I write two poems one day, I can take the next day off.
Cherry
Cherry
why is cherry so popular?
it tastes like cough medicine
the flavour of red should be strawberry
or even watermelon
I'm not sure why cherry has become such a popular flavour. I think perhaps that it's just something that we've inherited. Nowadays, all the big stars are all about being green. And the sentiment is that we don't want to leave our children and grandchildren with a destroyed world. Well I say, what about the previous generations that decided that anything red would most likely be cherry flavoured? What about THAT crime to humanity? Most children these days associate the cherry flavour to cough medicine. Why is that a such a popular flavour for candy?
As I type this, I realize that I may be thinking about this backwards. Maybe people love cherry so much that they need to make awful stuff like cough medicine taste like cherries in order to make them less awful. Eh.
My sister says that the banana flavour reminds her of medicine. Weird. Banana flavour should remind you of delicious banana rum and root beer. I'm thirsty. Laters.

Just visiting. (no poem)
Wow, looks like I've dropped the ball on this one. I haven't been here in ages and my poem scrap book has a bunch of ideas in it but no poems. I'm not sure if I'll start "writing" again but maybe I will revive this blogspot site as a blog because I like the name so much. Or maybe I want to continue using this site because I still dream of being a poet or an artist or something of more coolness than what I am at the moment.
